#3$99 a month subscription, because they're FDA or whatever approved.
Is there corruption with these kind of things, or did they just hit jackpot?

If it works, then that’s not a bad price at all. ADHD attentional issues will suck orders of magnitude more money out of your life if left untreated in some people.

On one hand, this isn’t a drug, so it would probably be much cheaper to test and verify.
On the other hand, the average cost for drug R&D, testing, and approval was $2.87 billion each… in 2016.
That’s going to take serious cash to break even on.

Will insurance lower the cost in the case that this is a prescribed treatment?

#7The results footnoted on the web site are underwhelming. Kids report they can pay better attention? If you weren’t trying to sell a product you would make up a better metric.
Maybe the real papers are more legit.

There is high corruption at every level of healthcare, from ambulance companies to prosthetists to local doctors to hospitals to pharmacies to insurance to government.
$99/month is pure corruption, and they get away with it because insurance can help cover it.
In healthcare, "Economies of scale don’t lower prices", and "prices rise to what the market will bear" - An American Sickness. Very much what you're seeing here for this price tag.

I guarantee they didn't invent anything new to gaming. It's just like all those studies that claim tetris helps with ptsd, stress, lazy eye, postpartum depression, etc. It's just a game. There's nothing that makes this game, or tetris specifically special.

#10I've been on this for about a month and a half now.
The game itself isn't engaging at all. It was a struggle to get myself to actually play the game regularly, for the allotted time (30 minutes, 5 days a week). It feels like a pretty big flaw with the game - after all, one of the challenges that people with ADHD face is forcing themselves to do things they don't want to do. This game is a complete bore, and I can't imagine anyone over, idk, 10 feeling differently.
It's also an incredibly frustrating game, and for the first couple of weeks I was fairly irritated after each 30 minute session.
I haven't noticed any improvement yet.
