Flourish: Requirements and Design of an Android Application Prototype for Various Symptoms Management in ADHD Patients

With the advancement of technology, we continue to discover new ways of providing technological solutions in a variety of fields. Healthcare is one of those fields that can benefit from technology. With the assistance of technology, the healthcare field can perform new discoveries, collect more data on symptoms of diseases, and provide greater support and care to their patients.[1][2] ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopment disorder that is typically identified during childhood and lasts into adulthood. Lack of focus, inability to sit still for long periods of time, forgetfulness, impulsivity, time management difficulties and disorganization, and emotional dysregulations are some of the early indications of this illness. Currently, pharmaceutical and nonpharmacological therapies are used to treat ADHD patients [3]. However, in addition to medical diagnosis and treatment, it is one of the diseases in which patients can benefit from technological solutions such as time management, task management, mindfulness, etc. In this paper, we propose the requirements and design of a mobile application called "Flourish," which is aimed at individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to help them better manage their symptoms and understand how they behave. This application will be divided into sections to assist users in dealing with the various symptoms experienced by ADHD patients. It includes time management and organization, mindfulness and relaxation, a platform for communicating with other ADHD patients and specialists, habit tracking, and behavioral patterns. In the future, we intend to develop a fully working real-time Android application that will be available to assist patients in managing their symptoms.
