For this pilot study, children diagnosed with ADHD starting stimulant treatment for the first time, or have not received stimulant treatment in the prior 6 months, in rural settings will be the focus of efforts to improve time to optimal symptom control, in an effort to maximize the treatment benefit for the academic year. We anticipate that more frequent provision of information by families and teachers to medical providers, enabled by technology and remote monitoring tools, will encourage more rapid improvement in symptom burden. This would be achieved through timely, even weekly, titration of medication per the current treatment guidelines, which is only possible with symptom reports.
The goals of this pilot study are 2-fold:
• Evaluate caregiver and teacher utilization of the RAMP platform early in the treatment course of ADHD
• Evaluate provider utilization of the RAMP platform in everyday practice and management of children early in the treatment course of ADHD
