Challenges and Opportunities in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Developing Countries.

Abstract

In the developing country a physician is faced with many challenges when seeing patients on the neurodiverse spectrum. Despite many well-known tools available, time restraints and lack of resources often results in sub-par diagnoses and continuation of care. Fortunately, with modern technology and the ever growing fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence, new developments have the possibility to ensure wider access to simplified and efficient tools with decreased need for specialist referral, helping to facilitate diagnosis, to reduce consultation time and costs and to simplify follow-up and monitoring.
