In this paper, we present a design framework for ADHD assistive technologies that aims to
give researchers grounding in the background research on the condition, to provide a lingua
franca, and to highlight potential research directions for HCI researchers within assistive
technology. The design framework couples ADHD patient challenge areas to technological
opportunities and it provides a set of practical design strategies for developing successful
assistive technologies for people with ADHD. The framework is based on empirical studies …
In this paper, we present a design framework for ADHD assistive technologies that aims to give researchers grounding in the background research on the condition, to provide a lingua franca, and to highlight potential research directions for HCI researchers within assistive technology. The design framework couples ADHD patient challenge areas to technological opportunities and it provides a set of practical design strategies for developing successful assistive technologies for people with ADHD. The framework is based on empirical studies, ADHD research, and related work on assistive technologies. We map existing assistive technologies and potential new research efforts to the framework concepts. This way we show how it is used to support and advance the research and development of novel assistive technologies for the ADHD domain.
