Oli help | Empowering parents of kids with diverse minds (starting with suspect or diagnosed ADHD)
Type
Short description
Oli help empowers the many parents who struggle to cope with a child’s diverse behavioral traits,’ starting with those with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a condition that affects between 5-7% of children and 2-5% of adults worldwide.
Through our app, we give these parents the tools to create a transformative impact on their children’s lives, helping them thrive with diverse minds:
1) We provide access to expert information and knowledge to help make sense of their kids’ diverse minds.
2) We provide on-the-spot support to do things differently, including suggestions for what to do and say when things get hard, which helps parents evolve their own behavioral patterns.
3) We help parents build a stronger connection with their child.
Oli help is clinically safe, whilst always respecting privacy. We also personalize our help, accompanying parents on their journeys through any clinical assessments their child may require.
Whilst ADHD, like other neurodevelopmental disorders, cannot be cured, it can be managed effectively through multimodal treatment, including medication and behavioral interventions. Further, evidence indicates that starting with psychosocial treatment (parent training/training training) might produce better outcomes than going with medication first. However, access to care is globally suboptimal, with healthcare systems having to ration available resources, resulting in delayed access to treatment (or families having to turn to unaffordable options in the private sector), and therefore, medication often being prioritized over psychosocial treatment.
From a clinical standpoint, our solution is an innovative approach to behavioral parent training so should be of interest to healthcare providers that are looking to enhance access to care and improve patient outcomes.
The app will be available to provide parents with 24/7 practical advice on a subscription or reimbursable basis (where healthcare systems will allow it).
