The project developed a smartwatch that helps children with ADHD concentrate better on their schoolwork. With a prevalence of 5-7% among children, the technology offers an innovative alternative to medication and therapy, addressing a significant need in the health and education sectors.

The project was funded in the first Founder Call. To further exploit the potential of the focus watch, the AttentionLab association was founded to continue the project. A patent application for the developed technology is currently pending.
