Abstract

Children with mental disorders like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience challenges in school as they struggle to maintain their attention. Based on empirical studies conducted in school contexts and together with teachers and ADHD domain professionals, we identified design criteria in relation to three core components (sensing, recognizing, and assisting) for designing real time assistive technologies for children with ADHD. Based on these design criteria, we designed the Child Activity Sensing and Training Tool (CASTT), a real time assistive prototype that captures activities and assists the child in maintaining attention. From a preliminary evaluation of CASTT with 20 children in several schools, we and found that: 1) it is possible to create a wearable sensor system for children with ADHD that monitors physical and physiological activities in real time; and that 2) real time assistive technologies have potential to assist children with ADHD in regaining attention in critical school situations.

设计实时辅助技术:ADHD儿童的研究

患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)等精神障碍的儿童在学校经常遇到挑战，因为他们很难保持注意力。基于在学校环境中进行的实证研究，并与教师和ADHD领域的专业人员一起，我们确定了设计ADHD儿童实时辅助技术的三个核心组成部分(感知、识别和辅助)的设计标准。基于这些设计标准，我们设计了儿童活动感知和训练工具(CASTT)，这是一个实时辅助原型，可以捕捉活动并帮助儿童保持注意力。通过对几所学校的20名儿童进行cast的初步评估，我们发现:1)有可能为ADHD儿童创建一个可穿戴传感器系统，实时监测身体和生理活动;2)实时辅助技术有可能帮助患有多动症的儿童在危急的学校环境中重新获得注意力。
