A really powerful listen 🎧 Our ART-CARMA study participant Christian shares his story of living with ADHD and receiving a diagnosis and beginning medication as an adult.

Huge thanks to Christian for sharing his experience, and to Phoebe Rocks for supporting his involvement.

🏓 ART Team Social 2025

The ART team got together for our annual social - this year for some ping pong!

It was great to spend time together outside of the office and celebrate everyone’s hard work on the ART projects over the past few months, as well as enjoy a bit of friendly competition. 🏅

The #ADHD Remote Technology Study of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Medication Adherence (ART-CARMA) team discuss their preliminary findings and attendance at the #EUNETHYDIS (the European Network for ADHD) 36th annual meeting.

the extent to which a person’s ADHD symptoms—inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity—are an impairment in everyday life is dependent on the societal context. Acknowledging the role of social context can help to indicate when the need for intervention and support is greatest: when there’s a mismatch between the environmental demands and the characteristics of the person with ADHD. Professor Jonna Kuntsi, King's College London

While the autism spectrum is now widely accepted, understanding of the ADHD continuum lags behind

Professor Jonna Kuntsi writes in @bmj_latest about how we need greater awareness of the #ADHD continuum + how to best target interventions

Emma Hayashibara then led our Journal Club discussion on camouflaging in autism and ADHD, considering both their similarities and differences.

Yuezhou Zhang presented findings from his analysis of the ART-CARMA study, titled “Remote Monitoring of Treatment Responses and Side Effects in Adults with ADHD: Insights from the ART-CARMA Study".

📖 Last Tuesday we held our bimonthly ADHD Research Group Meeting and Journal Club, where we were lucky to hear two fantastic talks.

Thank you to both Emma and Yuezhou for such interesting presentations!

Exciting news for the ART-transition team! Research assistant @annaredly.bsky.social has been accepted onto the DRIVE-Health Doctoral Research Programme and will be starting her PhD with the lab this fall. Congratulations Anna, we can’t wait to see how your PhD progresses 🔎

Great work Kanyakorn, we are excited to see what insights your research brings!

This week we are introducing our wonderful DRIVE-Health PhD Student Kanyakorn Veerakanjana. Now in the third year of her PhD, Kanyakorn is deep in her analysis of the ART-CARMA data, focusing on cardio-metabolic risk factors.

The Youth Awards are an initiative ran by the @kingsioppn.bsky.social to invite young people from the local area to have a direct practical experience of research, encouraging continued STEM education. Great job to all involved to carry out this important outreach work!

This week, @aislinnbowler.bsky.social , the ART-team post-doc, helped to run the Youth Awards at the SGDP alongside the wonderful Jared, Celestine and Nour.

Qigang is now looking for a post-doctoral position, so don't hesitate to reach out to him at qigang.deng@kcl.ac.uk if you know of any opportunities!

Many congratulations to ART PhD student Qigang Deng for submitting his thesis last week, titled “Addressing challenges in the measurement of ADHD symptoms: the relative age effect and remote measurement technology.” What a huge achievement, well done Qigang 👏

Phoebe works across many aspects of the project - from participant support to monitoring data streams and preparing datasets - helping to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. Thanks Phoebe!

This week we are introducing @phoeberocks.bsky.social, one of the fantastic Research Assistants on the ART-CARMA study.

📖 Last Thursday we had our bimonthly ADHD Research Group Meeting and Journal Club, and saw brilliant talks from PhD students @alicebarnes.bsky.social and Kanyakorn Veerakanjana!

Great job to both students, and thank you for such an engaging session!

This week, we're introducing one of the Research Assistants on the ART-CARMA team, @hannahkmarriott.bsky.social! Hannah works hard to ensure that data collection is running seamlessly, supporting participants through their 12-month study period and preparing data for analyses. Thanks Hannah 🙏

📊 Great job to ART-CARMA PhD student Kanyakorn Veerakanjana for her poster at the DRIVE-Health Summer Symposium!

We're introducing one of the key members of the ART team, @alicebarnes.bsky.social! As the ART-CARMA study coordinator and a PhD student, Alice ensures the study is running smoothly as well as conducts her own analyses. It's been amazing to see all of the exciting results from her hard work 🎉

Well done to Alice Barnes and Kanyakorn Veerakanjana, our 3rd year PhD students working on ART-CARMA, for their SGDP center talks today! It was great to hear such interesting insights from early qualitative and quantitative ART-CARMA data - watch this space 👀

📙 We had our bimonthly ADHD Research Group & Journal Club yesterday. @amandinesenequier.bsky.social presented her first PhD project on ADHD symptoms and physical activity in a UK birth cohort. @annaredly.bsky.social led Journal Club on stimulant use in menstruating women with ADHD. Thank you both!

✏️ Check out our wonderful PhD student @alicebarnes.bsky.social's reflections on the 10th ADHD World Congress in Prague last week! She presented a poster on data from ART-CARMA, our remote monitoring study of adults with ADHD – great to hear what a good experience it was.
