Brain games that assess working memory and mental flexibility, providing insights into how the mind adapts to changing rules.

📊

Not a Test

YUKI is not a diagnostic tool and has no pass or fail grades. It's a functional assessment that only trained clinicians can interpret.

🔬

Sophisticated AI

Created by the A.Health team, YUKI uses cutting-edge AI to analyze emotions, movement, focus, and impulsivity patterns.

Information for Parents & Carers

Everything you need to know to support your child through the assessment

🎯 The Activities

Your child will complete two main types of missions:

  • Focus Test: An interactive task that measures attention stability and the ability to control impulses.
  • Brain Games: Cognitive tasks that assess working memory and mental flexibility.

📹 Why the Camera?

Camera access is essential for YUKI to work properly:

  • Tracks head movements while your child plays the games
  • Measures restlessness (how much they move while trying to concentrate)
  • Records focus direction (where their head is positioned)
  • Monitors vigilance (how movement changes over time)
  • All measurements happen in real-time during the assessment

✅ Before You Start Checklist

💡

Lighting: Ensure the room is bright enough. No bright window behind the child (it creates a silhouette).

🪑

Position: Sit comfortably. Face and shoulders should be visible in the camera box. Align eyes with the guideline.

🔊

Audio: Turn the volume up so your child can hear any alerts clearly.

🚽

Comfort: Have they used the bathroom? The mission can't be paused once it starts!

⏱️

Duration: The full assessment typically takes 20-30 minutes to complete.

📊 After the Assessment

Once the test is finished, the data is processed to generate a functional report. This report helps your specialist understand your child's unique strengths and challenges in attention, impulse control, and movement patterns. Remember, this is not a diagnostic tool - the results must be interpreted by a qualified clinician in the context of a comprehensive assessment.

Understanding ADHD Assessments

Information for parents considering ADHD screening

What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. It's one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood.

ADHD presents differently in each individual and can continue into adolescence and adulthood. Early identification and appropriate support can make a significant difference.

Why Functional Assessment?

Traditional ADHD assessments rely heavily on questionnaires and observations. Functional assessments like YUKI provide objective, measurable data about how a person performs specific attention and impulse control tasks.

This data complements clinical interviews and behavioral observations, giving clinicians a more complete picture of attention-related challenges.

What YUKI Measures

Focused Attention: How well attention is maintained during repetitive tasks

Inhibitory Precision: The ability to inhibit automatic responses

Kinetic Regulation: Physical restlessness and fidgeting behaviors

Adaptive Cognition: Working memory and ability to adapt to changing rules

Part of Comprehensive Assessment

YUKI is designed to be one component of a thorough ADHD assessment. A complete evaluation typically includes:

• Clinical interviews with parents and child
• Developmental history
• Behavioral rating scales
• School reports and observations
• Functional assessments like YUKI
• Medical examination when appropriate

Who Can Use YUKI?

YUKI is suitable for individuals aged 6 to 65 years. The space-themed interface and game-like format help engage participants and reduce anxiety during the assessment process, making it particularly effective for children and adolescents while remaining appropriate for adults.

The assessment must be administered in a clinical setting under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals.

Understanding Results

YUKI results must be interpreted by qualified clinicians trained in neurodevelopmental assessment. The data provides insights into functional performance but cannot diagnose ADHD on its own.

Results are most meaningful when considered alongside other clinical information and observations in the context of the individual child's history and circumstances.

🔬 Evidence-Based & AI-Powered

YUKI was developed by A.Health's team of clinical and technical experts. The platform combines established cognitive assessment paradigms with modern AI technology to provide objective, reliable measurements of attention-related functions.

The sophisticated AI analyzes multiple data streams simultaneously - including response patterns, reaction times, movement data, and behavioral indicators - to create a comprehensive functional profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about YUKI and the assessment process

How long does the YUKI assessment take?
The YUKI assessment typically takes 20-30 minutes to complete. This includes the introduction, the two main missions (Focus Test and Brain Games), and any brief breaks needed. The exact duration may vary depending on the child's pace and engagement.
Can we pause the assessment if my child needs a break?
Once a mission starts, it cannot be paused. This is why it's important to ensure your child has used the bathroom and is comfortable before beginning. However, there are natural breaks between different sections of the assessment where brief pauses can occur if needed.
What equipment do we need for the assessment?
You'll need a computer or tablet with a working webcam, stable internet connection, and speakers or headphones so your child can hear instructions. A quiet, well-lit room without distractions is also important. The assessment is typically administered in a clinical setting with proper setup.
Will the camera record my child?
The camera is used for live measurement during the assessment to track head movements and positioning. All data collection and storage complies with healthcare privacy regulations. Your clinician can provide specific details about data handling and privacy practices.
What if my child finds the assessment difficult or frustrating?
It's completely normal for some tasks to be challenging - that's part of what the assessment is designed to measure. The space theme and game-like format help keep children engaged. If your child becomes significantly distressed, the assessing clinician can provide guidance and support.
When will we get the results?
After the assessment is completed, the data is processed to generate a functional report. Your clinician will review this report and discuss the findings with you at a follow-up appointment. The timeline varies depending on your clinic's procedures, but results are typically available within 1-2 weeks.
Can YUKI diagnose ADHD?
No. YUKI is a functional assessment tool that provides objective data about attention, impulse control, and movement patterns. It cannot diagnose ADHD on its own. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional, considering multiple sources of information including clinical interviews, developmental history, and behavioral observations.
Is YUKI suitable for adults?
YUKI is suitable for individuals aged 6 to 65 years. While the space-themed interface is particularly engaging for children and adolescents, the assessment has been validated for use across this full age range, making it appropriate for adult ADHD assessments as well.
