Researchers from Norwegian research organization SINTEF are studying smartwatches, digital calendars and other technology as possible support devices for children with autism and ADHD. "Being able to function well on a day-to-day basis is a big problem for these children -- and for their families," say Lisbet Grut and Øystein Dale of SINTEF. "ADHD is a group that is easily neglected, and it is difficult to help sufferers, because their problems are varied and complex," says Grut. After interviewing parents of children with ADHD and autism, as well as assistive technology suppliers and other healthcare professionals, researchers will now work with three families in Vestfold, Norway who have children with ADHD or autism.
