Bengaluru, August 06, 2026: Care ADHD, one of the United Kingdom's fastest-growing digital mental health companies and a trusted National Health Service (NHS) partner, will open its first ADHD clinic in India in Bengaluru this October, marking the beginning of its clinical expansion in the country.

The announcement follows the recent inauguration of the company's 140-seat Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, officially opened by Owen Richards, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Deputy High Commission Bengaluru, underscoring Care ADHD's long-term commitment to building both technology and healthcare capabilities in India.

Globally, ADHD impacts approximately 5.6%–7.6% of children and about 2.5% of adults. In India, some studies show there is a high prevalence of adult ADHD ranging from 5.48 to 25.7%. Yet, it is not officially recognised under the Rights of Persons with disabilities (RPwD) Act of 2016, despite the significant clinical burden it presents. This has created systemic gaps in access to diagnosis, treatment, and support.

With ADHD remaining significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated across the country, Care ADHD aims to introduce its evidence-based clinical model, developed and refined through years of delivering specialist ADHD services in the UK, to Indian patients.

The Bengaluru clinic will provide comprehensive ADHD services, including assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning and ongoing care, supported by digital platforms developed by Care ADHD's engineering and product teams in Bengaluru.

“Eleven months ago, we had a handful of desks in Bengaluru and a lot of ambition,” said Mark Pattison, Chief Executive Officer of Care ADHD. “Today we have a 140-desk centre that is central to how the entire company runs, and from October we will begin seeing patients here in India. Bengaluru is not a back office for us. It is one of our two homes, and the talent here is building capability we could not build anywhere else.”

Care ADHD is regulated by the UK's Care Quality Commission (CQC) and works with the National Health Service (NHS) through its Right to Choose programme, helping reduce one of the UK's largest specialist healthcare waiting lists. The company delivers the entire ADHD care pathway through an integrated digital-first care model.

Within just eleven months of establishing operations in Bengaluru, Care ADHD has grown from a 17-seat office to a 140-desk Global Capability Centre. The move proves confidence in India's technology ecosystem and its long-term commitment to the market.

The new centre will serve as the company's global technology and innovation hub. The innovation centre will house engineering, data science, and operations teams. Together with the team in the UK, they will be responsible for building the digital platforms that power Care ADHD's clinical services globally, including next-generation diagnostic tools, intelligent patient engagement systems and virtual care capabilities.

"We chose Bengaluru because of its exceptional engineering and product talent," said James Whitebread, Chief Technology Officer, Care ADHD. "Our technology teams here are building the platforms that support thousands of patients in the UK today. Opening our first clinic in Bengaluru is the natural next step as we bring our proven clinical model closer to patients in India."

Speaking at the inauguration of the Bengaluru GCC, Owen Richards, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Deputy High Commission Bengaluru, said: "CARE ADHD combines UK clinical excellence with world-class digital capabilities and exemplifies the powerful complementarity between the UK and India. By bringing together decades of UK expertise in neurodevelopmental care with India's growing healthcare ecosystem and clinical talent, the company demonstrates how collaboration between our two countries can deliver meaningful social impact while expanding access to quality mental healthcare."

The company's expansion to a larger office and the future clinic are expected to create highly skilled jobs across engineering, data, cybersecurity, IT operations, and clinical services, while strengthening collaboration between healthcare professionals and technology teams.
