A browser game designed to measure attention and executive function in children aged 7–11.
My Mindful Mind is a UK company building a browser-based game that captures attention and executive-function signals from children aged 7 to 11 during ordinary play, producing a structured behavioural profile for parents, schools and — with consent — the clinician a child is eventually referred to. It sits before referral, and alongside the wait for an assessment.
Insight, not diagnosis. That is a design constraint rather than a disclaimer: nothing in the output is intended to direct a clinical decision on its own.
Who is this for?
Researchers
The measurement design is open for academic review.
Researchers →Students and supervisors
MSc, MRes, PhD and professional doctorate projects for 2026/27.
Research projects →Parents & carers
For families waiting, or wondering whether to ask.
Parents →Schools
For head teachers and SENCOs: a one-page note for the SENCO, in plain language.
Schools →Local authorities
For SEND, inclusion and educational psychology services.
Local authorities →Providers & clinicians
A structured profile to bring to the first appointment.
Providers & clinicians →Why
The independent ADHD Taskforce, in its final report published by NHS England in November 2025, said that “early support in schools should be needs-led, its provision uncoupled from diagnosis”, and that in settings that do not make clinical decisions, “support should focus on needs and not rely on or wait for a diagnosis”.
My Mindful Mind is built for that gap: a clearer picture of how a child is getting on, available before any referral, to help the adults around them decide what support to try.

What this is not
- Not a diagnostic instrument, and not intended to become one.
- Not a training or intervention product. Nothing here claims to improve anything.
- Not a substitute for clinical assessment, and not a triage tool that gatekeeps access to one.
Commitments
Consent sits with the parent, is specific to each purpose, and can be withdrawn.
The game will be built to the ICO’s Age Appropriate Design Code.
A data protection impact assessment will be completed before any child plays.
Children’s data is never sold, and is de-identified before any use in research.
