BARUCH COLLEGE— During Open Data Week, the CUNY Public Interest Technology Lab hosted a series of student projects at the Oculus from March 23-27. While several projects explored artificial intelligence and accessibility, one stood out for its focus on ADHD and how technology can support attentiveness and everyday tasks.
The ADHD-focused project was built around the idea that many digital systems are difficult to use because they expect people to remember too much, switch between tools and manage several steps at once.
For people with ADHD, this can make basic tasks difficult to perform.
The creator, Alex Conner, was diagnosed with ADHD and used his own experience to design the project.
