Neeuro and Shanghai Dingbo Medical Technology Co., through the Shanghai-Singapore Joint Innovation Call, will introduce the NeeuroCare project, which aims to develop a care model for children with ADHD in China.
Launching NeeuroCare in China is part of Neeuro’s internationalization strategy as it takes Cogo into China, a key market, rolling it out together with Dingbo. Such an alliance allows both parties to combine their strengths in technology and clinical experiences to bring the best solution to market. NeeuroCare will introduce innovative solutions for children with ADHD, that uses an artificial intelligence-driven brain-computer-interface (BCI) game, in addition to traditional medication and behavioural therapies.
One of the goals is to increase the involvement of parents with ADHD children through monitoring and reporting their child’s progress, thus providing clinicians with data points to personalize therapy programs. A key aspect of NeeuroCare is a private pre-screening for ADHD symptoms, and this helps both parents and their children to avoid stigma.
Neeuro Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Alvin Chan said that “As pioneers in the Digital Therapeutics space for mental health, Neeuro is honored and privileged to be awarded this grant by ESG. Moreover, this development collaboration with Shanghai Dingbo in China has been in our company’s expansion and growth direction plan to bring together partners, knowing fully well their capacity to innovate, where we share the same vision of empowering our minds to overcome brain health challenges.”
Dr. Feng Yi, CEO of Shanghai Dingbo expressed his enthusiasm over the partnership, saying that “This project with Neeuro, with the support of Enterprise SG and the Shanghai Government, is a wonderful indication of co-developing and co-marketing solutions for cognitive and other mental health disorders and issues.”
The key outcome from this partnership is for NeeuroCare to address the needs of ADHD children in China, and also to aid clinicians’ workflow processes for diagnosis and prescription. This can lead to the recommendation of Cogo, a personalized attention training program for these children.
The Shanghai-Singapore Joint Innovation Call is implemented by Enterprise Singapore (ESG) and the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (SCTSM) and seeks to encourage Singaporean companies as well as Shanghai-based companies to work together on projects that would result in the research and development of innovative products and applications and their eventual commercialisation.
