Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a significant number of children worldwide. It represents learning challenges, profoundly impacting the child’s attention and behavior. Occupational therapies face these challenges by involving the child in mirroring activities of daily life. This article presents the creation and assessment of a mobile application that assists therapists in remotely observing children’s behavior during occupational therapy at home. This mobile application belongs to a smart-home environment designed to conduct occupational therapies for children with ADHD. It uses Firebase to acquire and manipulate data from this environment. Therapists can obtain clear details about the children’s behavior, better than in a conventional clinical setting. The 16-week experiment reveals that therapists find the application useful for decision-making in therapeutic matters and lets parents be more involved in the therapy. This leads to new ideas on how to use the app.
