Scent of Time

Treating children with ADHD through smells People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are deficient in temporal processing abilities and struggle to manage tasks. In the world of research and therapy, smells are often used to influence the ability to concentrate, to increase motivation, and to inspire calm. Alongside these, smells have a special ability to grab our attention. All of these put the sense of smell at the heart of the project. SoT includes a wearable smart accessory that delimits time frames with the help of smell, creating a multi-sensory mode that associates scents with time and action. An app completes the process of constructing the actions and connects between the parent/caregiver and the child. Advisor: Hadar Shapira
