Designing a Voice-Bot to Promote Better Mental Health: UX Design for Digital Therapeutics on ADHD Patients

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) child patients face difficulty in maintaining focus of and completing daily tasks due to their impaired executive function. Failure in such aspects leads to the formation of negative self-images as well as sub-optimal relationships with parents. This investigative research presents a voice-bot and conversational agent design intervention supporting both the ADHD child patients and their parents in dealing with daily tasks. We conducted patient's parent interviews, created voice-bot scenario designs and conducted prototyping. Potential therapeutic benefits and assistive technology user experience perspectives are discussed in this paper.
