Article Abstract

Background: The consortium project INTEGRATE-ADHD compared administrative data on the presence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents with the results of a parent survey and a comprehensive clinical assessment based on the S3 guideline of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinical assessment was carried out online.

Methods: The article describes how a guideline-based clinical assessment of ADHD can be implemented in an online setting. A specially developed diagnostic matrix is presented to illustrate the assessment procedures and the diagnostic decision-making process. The matrix is intended to help the diagnostician to gain an overview of the numerous individual findings that have been collected using different assessment perspectives and methods (e.g. diagnostic interviews, rating scales, performance tests) in order to make a well-founded and transparent diagnostic decision.

Discussion: The consortium project INTEGRATE-ADHD has shown that an online assessment can be implemented in a guideline-compliant manner and allows a valid clinical decision. The diagnostic strategy is discussed with reference to international guidelines and recommendations for online diagnostics (e.g. aspects of feasibility, acceptability and safety of the assessment procedures). The challenges and opportunities of using online assessments in clinical practice are also described.

Background: In healthcare education, virtual reality (VR), simulating real-world situations, is emerging as a tool to improve communication skills, particularly in sensitive scenarios involving patients and caregivers. While promising, VR-based education also poses challenges such as avatar realism, cognitive load, and the need for pedagogical grounding.

Objective: This protocol paper presents the VR-TALKS project, which aims to develop, apply, and evaluate VR scenarios designed to teach healthcare students communication skills in serious illness scenarios.
