Financial Incentive For Adults Using FOCUS ADHD App Increased Treatment Engagement Rates 

Paying a financial incentive to reward people with adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to an app led to high engagement rates. A Brazilian study of the prescription FOCUS ADHD app found that all the participants who received a financial incentive used the app. The findings were reported in the journal European Psychiatry.;;

The FOCUS ADHD App was developed by Shire/Takeda, which provided support for the study. The app provides pill reminders, weekly symptoms assessment, the option to invite a support network, and the twice-a-week psychoeducation contents that would be published during the protocol . . .
