About this app

Start your subscription today to begin treatment with EndeavorOTC, the game-based ADHD treatment clinically designed to improve symptoms, attention and focus, designed with the same technology as the world’s first FDA-authorized game-based treatment. The treatment includes Focus Score, a first-of-its-kind personalized metric where you can track attention progress.

EndeavorOTC is for adults 18 years and older with ADHD experiencing inattention-related challenges that affect their quality of life such as diminished focus, inability to complete projects or tasks, keep track of important items, and more. Built with the same technology as EndeavorRx, the world's first FDA-authorized video game treatment. EndeavorOTC is available now by subscription. No prescription needed.

EndeavorOTC was studied in more than 220 participants over a 6-week period. In the clinical trial, 88% of participants saw improvement in their attention and 73% of participants reported quality of life improvements, including an increased ability to balance projects, get things done on time and keep track of important items like phone, wallet, and keys. There were no lasting or serious side effects in any clinical trials for EndeavorOTC. (1,2)

How EndeavorOTC improves focus: The gameplay challenges you to tap targets and navigate obstacles to boost your attention and focus. As you progress through the game, the technology is continuously measuring your performance and using adaptive algorithms to adjust the difficulty and personalize the treatment experience.

How to Play EndeavorOTC: Playing EndeavorOTC can fit into your daily routine. The more you play, the better your results.

Playing the game every day for an initial six weeks can improve your attention and other functions that make up your ability to focus. Users will be given a target Focus Score increase which should be achievable in six weeks. Based on clinical trial data, the target increase provided directly relates to improvement in ADHD-related symptoms and overall quality of life. And, for the vast majority of people, this will leave room for continued improvement in Focus Score and cognitive abilities as well as ADHD symptom management beyond the initial six week course of treatment.

EndeavorOTC is made available under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) current Enforcement Policy for Digital Health Devices for Treating Psychiatric Disorders During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Public Health Emergency. EndeavorOTC has not been cleared or authorized by the FDA for its indications.

It is recommended that patients speak to their health care provider before starting EndeavorOTC treatment, and before making any medical decisions.

Ratings and reviews

1. Mechanics of gameplay are clunky and feel bad. Also, hitboxes for the purple objs. are weirdly narrow. 2. UX is rough - you can't change settings or go to the menu from the pause menu? 3. You have to email them to delete your account 4. There's no narrative or structure to the game, it seems - maybe there's more if you play for longer, but I just couldn't get myself interested for long enough. 5. Very expensive. Treatment gamification is an awesome idea, but this needs a lot of work.

Gets too hard, too fast, the game seems to be aiming for a difficulty where you never win, which really just makes playing frustrating, it doesn't make me want to try harder when I don't even come close to winning a single game in 30 mins of playing. The concept makes sense for the game, but it seems like it needs to be rebalanced a little to make playing it tolerable, if the hard levels are needed, maybe have speed fluctuate from doable to not.

Like other reviewers have mentioned, the game play gets glitchy once you get to higher levels. The first two weeks were great. I noticed significant improvements in my concentration. Once the game started slowing/skipping though, it made navigation very difficult, and screen taps were frequently delayed (resulting in the wrong target being hit). My focus score stagnated before dropping back down in the fourth week. Holding the device flat for gameplay also causes neck pain after awhile.

What's new

We have improved the tutorial, added more Goals and costumes, updated the look and feel of the first Baseline environment, and made updates to the Focus Score screens to more clearly communicate information to users.
