The “Focus Watch” project has shown that smartwatches can effectively support children with attention problems. The DiKo project builds on these findings and is aimed at children, parents, and professionals.
DiKo has three objectives: Lectures teach digital skills for using concentration aids. Workshops provide a space to discuss and try out the specific use of digital tools such as the Focus Clock. At the same time, a sustainable community is being built up to support long-term exchange between those affected, experts, and researchers.
