Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurological condition that affects the brain’s executive functions, caused by low levels of norepinephrine and dopamine. These neurotransmitters radically affect the brain functions that are, responsible for regulating and controlling behavior, motivation and perception. These can be also identified by a combination of difficulties such as restlessness, impulsivity and inattentiveness among others.
Whilst there is an effective treatment for this disorder, people like myself, who suffer from ADHD are often, by the very nature of the condition itself, quite forgetful and chaotic.
This means that most people with ADHD either completely forget to take their medication or sometimes double the dose unintentionally.
Hyperkinetic explores the possibility of a transdermal method of drug administration, it proposes a system within a watch to ensure sufferers receive the medication they require throughout the day. Challenging the status quo of how wearable tech is designed, Hyperkinetic strives for a more holistic approach looking for a more human-centered solution in which the sufferer doesn’t feel like a patient whilst also creating an emotional attachment to it.
