Watch the test in action

Here’s how it works

Efsim looks like a simple computer game, but it’s built with clinical science. As your child completes short tasks, the programme quietly tracks how focused they are, how quickly they respond, and how much they move. These patterns help build an objective picture of how their attention and activity levels compare to other children.

It’s a technology used by clinicians and psychologists across the world – and now, for the first time, you can access it directly through Matter of Health without needing a referral, a full assessment, or a waiting list.

How can I get started?

  1. Buy the Efsim test here on our website – just £95

  2. Within 24 hours, you'll receive an email with a secure link and login instructions

  3. Log in with your child in a quiet space, using a laptop or desktop with a webcam

  4. Your child completes a simple task (takes 15–20 minutes)

  5. Sit tight – we’ll analyse the results and you’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report within 24 hours of completion

That’s it — no queues, no questionnaires, no stress.

What happens next?

Once you’ve received your child’s report, it’s entirely up to you how you use it.

You’ll also be invited to speak with one of our mental health practitioners.

During this optional consultation, we’ll:

  • Talk through your child’s results in plain English

  • Explore what support your child and family may benefit from

  • Discuss any next steps that feel right for you

This might include:

  • Counselling or skills-based support to help your child build confidence, emotional regulation, and key life skills

  • Family work to help you better support your child’s cognitive needs at home and school

  • Or, if the results strongly suggest ADHD, we may recommend a full ADHD assessment

Thinking About a Full ADHD Assessment?

If you decide to go ahead, one of our experienced consultant psychiatrists will:

  • Review your child’s Efsim results

  • Carry out a full diagnostic assessment in line with NICE guidelines

  • Provide a formal diagnosis (if appropriate) and guidance on next steps, including medication and support planning
