episode 4: An Over-the-Counter Video Game for ADHD with Akili CEO Eddie Martucci
We’re continuing our series on gaming and ADHD this week. So far, we’ve explored how gaming ignites creativity and can expand perspectives and horizons. But what if we told you there was a game that is designed and build expressly to aid in treatment of attention disorders?
That’s EndeavorOTC, the latest release from Akili Interactive. This is a company that cut its teeth on the FDA-Authorized pediatric game, EndeavorRx, the first and only prescription treatment delivered through a video game. With EndeavorOTC, they’re looking to help adults.
Eddie Martucci is CEO of Akili and joins us today to talk about the game, how it works, and what it just might be able to do for you.
