Cerebral acquires ADHD app Inflow to expand continuous care beyond clinical appointments

Cerebral, a mental health care provider, has acquired Inflow, a personalised ADHD digital therapeutic app, to expand continuous care options for ADHD patients. The acquisition allows Cerebral to combine clinical care with engagement tools that help patients build skills between appointments. Adult ADHD prevalence in the US has risen from 4.4% historically to 6.0% in 2023, according to the CDC. Approximately 36.5% of adults diagnosed with ADHD receive no formal treatment. Inflow uses cognitive behavioural therapy principles to deliver science-based lessons and daily modules. The app demonstrated significant improvements in ADHD symptoms in an eight-week randomised controlled trial. Both platforms will continue operating separately, though Cerebral clinicians will become more accessible to Inflow members seeking therapy.
