Vision - based user interfaces for cognitive and behavioral remediation of ADHD 2018-2021

Tampere University

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent  neurodevelopmental disorder in children that manifests itself in  problems with concentration, behaviour inhibition and overactive behavior. In the project, we aim at leveraging innovative technological  solutions and computerised training games to enhance the existing means of ADHD treatment.

Goal

We believe that novel ways of interacting with  computers by voluntarily controlled gaze, facial expressions, hand  gestures, and body movements offer vast potential for delivering such devices and applications that can support rehabilitative processes of ADHD.  

Because computers can measure behaviour automatically and fully objectively, we anticipate that the project will also contribute to the development of objective evaluation criteria and diagnostic tools of clinical assessment of ADHD.
