The users that we will focus on will be people with neurodivergent diseases, specifically ADHD and autism with low spectrum, mainly so that users can tolerate the use of the device in their ears.
Statistics
It is estimated that only in Mexico, around 1.6 million boys and girls live with ADHD, but most are not diagnosed and the WHO reports that 5% of the world population suffers from ADHD. A study on the prevalence of autism has been carried out in Mexico (2016). The figure indicates that 1 in 115 children would be in this condition, and It is estimated that, worldwide, one in 100 children has autism. This estimate represents an average figure, as the observed prevalence varies considerably between different studies.Other users
Despite focusing on specific users, we are open to the fact that this product can be used by anyone else who suffers from hearing impairment. The objective of focusing on these users is to create a product that is as efficient and above all as comfortable.Stress factors
People with ADHD can be very susceptible to everyday problems or situations that require a little more concentration or mental capacity.
Among the stress factors we can find:- School demands or homework
- Unpredictable situations
- Relationship problems
- Another factor to take into account is that if the blood relatives also have this disorder, it is very likely that the individual suffers from the same disorder
Autism
Sensory and social exhaustionHow it manifests itself:
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Self-harm
