Background

This project focuses on helping neurodivergent individuals with ADHD optimize personal space for productivity. Through UX design, we researched key pain points, synthesized data, and developed tailored solutions. Continuous user testing and design iterations led to an innovative, user-centric design that makes optimizing personal space for productivity effortless.

Process

Our process started with research on college students’ focus and workspace challenges. We brainstormed interfaces and wearables, then developed wireframes and 3D models to shape the product. Prototyping and user testing provided insights that refined the design, resulting in a final solution tailored to support effective workspace management and focus.

Identifying the problem

In today's fast-paced world, young adults, particularly college students aged 18-25, struggle with maintaining productivity and managing their workspaces effectively. Disorganized environments, distractions, and inefficient task management contribute to decreased productivity and increased stress. Existing solutions often fail to provide personalized, real-time recommendations for optimizing workspaces and enhancing focus. There is a critical need for an innovative solution that leverages advanced technology to help students create and maintain optimal work environments, ultimately improving their productivity and well-being.

Young adults, especially college students aged 18-25, struggle with productivity due to disorganized spaces, distractions, and poor task management. Existing solutions lack personalized, real-time recommendations for optimizing workspaces. There’s a need for an innovative, tech-driven solution to help students create efficient environments that boost productivity and well-being.

Understanding the users & research

Our target audience was students, aged 18 - 24, who have ADHD/ display symptoms of ADHD. Our research on the target audience centered on college students with ADHD symptoms. We explored their challenges with focus, workspace organization, and task management, identifying common pain points like distractions and difficulty maintaining productivity. This insight shaped our solution to offer tailored, real-time support that directly addresses their needs.

Ideation

We brainstormed different interface designs and wearables that assist users in optimizing their workspaces. The focus was on wearables that track user behavior and offer real-time feedback to improve productivity, along with interfaces that provide personalized workspace organization and task management suggestions.

Development

In the development phase, we created wireframes and 3D models of the product. This process helped visualize the interface and functionality, ensuring the design aligned with the goal of enhancing workspace organization and productivity.

Prototyping & Testing

In the prototyping and user testing phase, we developed functional prototypes based on our wireframes and 3D models. We conducted user testing with college students, including those with ADHD symptoms, to gather feedback on usability and effectiveness. The insights gained helped refine the product, ensuring it addressed the specific needs of the target audience, particularly in enhancing focus and workspace management.

Solution

Our product, equipped with integrated cameras, offers real-time insights and personalized recommendationsto help users scan, analyze, and optimize their surroundings. By providing actionable feedback andsuggestions, we empower students to enhance their focus, reduce distractions, and create productiveworkspaces, helping them become the best versions of themselves. Our ultimate goal is for users to improvetheir productivity to the point where they no longer need our solution, truly embodying our tagline:"Meant to be Deleted.
