Project delivery is guided by two research advisory groups (RAGs), one made up of people with lived experience of ADHD (LE-RAG), and one made up of healthcare professionals (HP-RAG).
Research development is guided by an extended group of people with diverse experiences of living with ADHD, which we call our working group. They contribute flexibly in many ways, including during workshops, focus groups and one-to-one engagement meetings, to collaboratively develop the app and chatbot. This includes refining the content for the app, exploring the potential features of the app and chatbot, and getting messy and creative with design.
This project is part of the wider Science of ADHD and Neurodevelopment (SAND) research collaboration at the University of Exeter.
We are working closely with the Digital Futures team, who are part of the Torbay and South Devon trust, to develop the AI chatbot.
