GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN / ACCESS Newswire / May 1, 2025 / Mentavi Health will present new clinical data highlighting the validation of its proprietary online assessment for diagnosing attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults at a major international scientific conference, the 10th World Congress on ADHD, May 8-11, 2025, in Prague, Czech Republic.

Mentavi Health, founded in 2018, is an established innovator in evidence-based mental health solutions. Mentavi Chief Medical Officer Barry K. Herman, MD, MMM, will present clinical data from a study titled 

“Validity of an Online Assessment of ADHD Among a Real-World Sample of Adults Seeking Web-Based Mental Healthcare.” 

Mentavi’s study is the first of its kind to compare an asynchronous, web-based assessment against the current standard of care: a clinical interview, for diagnosing adult ADHD

“Too many adults live for years with undiagnosed ADHD, often experiencing significant impairment in their personal and professional lives,” Herman said. “This study demonstrates that validated digital tools can help close that gap and provide a credible first step toward care, especially for people who face barriers to traditional mental health services.”

Millions of U.S. adults are believed to have ADHD. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates the prevalence of ADHD 6.0 percent among adults.

The study’s manuscript is undergoing peer review and is expected to be published later in 2025. Herman will present key findings, including:

“Presenting this data at the World Congress on ADHD, to many of the world’s leading experts on the disorder, will move the field forward for both the diagnosis of adult ADHD and for the value of telehealth,” Keith Brophy, CEO of Mentavi Health.

Mentavi Health’s core mission is to increase access to accurate, efficient, and evidence-based mental health assessments. Mentavi leadership sees the presentation as supporting the company’s mission through validating its technology, strengthening its clinical credibility, and building trust and a foundation for growth with stakeholders in healthcare and employer wellness.
