Our mHealth program share research-informed parent strategies. The program is currently being developed in collaboration with parents and educators, as well as researchers from art therapy, engineering, and peace education.  A series of short animated videos and daily tips are sent to Japanese parents of children aged 4~10 via LINE. 

The parent strategies introduced in the program are informed by behavioral and neuroimaging research findings on reward and punishment sensitivity in ADHD. 

We are currently completing an initial testing of a pilot module. We will open up the participant enrollment for the next phase of the study in FY2025!  We also exploring the off-line sharing of the video materials.

＊We will post links for the program enrollment here when available.
