Objective Digital Psychological Assessment Launches in Singapore, Offering Clarity for Inattention and Hyperactivity Concerns

SINGAPORE – A new digital assessment service focused on objective brain function testing has launched in Singapore, addressing concerns related to inattention, hyperactivity, and depression. Operated by iHealthtech NUS and accessible via www.objectiveADHDassessment.sg, this innovation draws from groundbreaking research spearheaded by world-renowned psychological scientists.

The assessment replaces subjective questionnaires and interviews with a multimodal approach employing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). This non-invasive, painless technology gauges brain activity in the frontal and temporal lobes through weak, harmless near-infrared light, providing a detailed, objective snapshot of cognitive processes.

This method, validated by the pioneering research team and featured in reputable publications like The Straits Times, measures oxygen levels in key brain regions during cognitive tasks, alongside eye-tracking and continuous performance assessments.

The service caters to parents, young adults, and working professionals seeking clarity on neurodivergent challenges. Measurable biomarker data enables individuals to understand their brain function better, guiding tailored support and interventions. "This field often lacks objective tools," acknowledged by some researchers, likening assessment to a simple test offering clarity.

This breakthrough marks a definitive, data-driven step toward understanding and managing one’s challenges, promising a definitive path forward for individuals in Asia and potentially globally. For many, this service signifies the end of uncertainty and the onset of a clear, science-backed journey toward greater insight and understanding.
