A new digital service, FEMI ADHD, has been launched in Israel for diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Femi promises a diagnosis within 72 hours after a consultation with a doctor, which should reduce waiting times that, according to the company, sometimes exceed six months. The process begins with a free initial assessment, after which the patient fills out digital questionnaires. For children, questionnaires are also filled out by parents and representatives of the educational institution. Medical information is collected from the health fund doctor. The diagnosis is made during one or two video consultations with a doctor specializing in ADHD. The clinical model is led by Dr. Manuel Katz, former president of the Israeli Pediatric Association. He emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis, noting that symptoms similar to ADHD can be caused by anxiety, stress, or other conditions. The cost of the service is 1,850 shekels. Femi notes that a diagnosis does not necessarily mean prescribing medication — treatment may include parent training, emotional therapy, and nutritional counseling.
