In recent years, there has been an increased awareness of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among the general population, leading to an improved understanding of the associated symptoms and difficulties faced by individuals with ADHD. Consequently, society has developed a more accepting and supportive attitude towards the condition and its consequences. However, many individuals with ADHD still encounter challenges in obtaining a proper diagnosis and receiving the necessary support.
This study aimed to investigate the business potential of an app dedicated to attention deficit, specifically focusing on the degree to which people would adopt such an app for detecting and overcoming ADHD symptoms. The objectives of the study were to identify relevant previous work, gather knowledge about user experience (UX) satisfaction and its causal effect on app adoption intentions from selected publications, and generate new insights into the potential adoption of an ADHD app.
To achieve these objectives, a mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques and analysis methods. Quantitative data were analysed using statistical methods to gauge the prevalence of opinions among the sample of participants, while qualitative data provided the underlying reasons behind those opinions.
The results of the study indicated that overall, the participants expressed satisfaction with the app idea and demonstrated a willingness to adopt it. However, it was noted that some users had not previously encountered such an application, although they acknowledged the existence of similar ones. Furthermore, participants emphasized the importance of ensuring the app's security, as well as the involvement and guidance of healthcare professionals in supporting and monitoring users throughout their journey with the app.
In conclusion, this research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the potential business value of an ADHD app. The findings suggest that there is a positive reception among individuals for such an app, highlighting the need to address the challenges faced by individuals with ADHD in accessing appropriate diagnosis and support. By providing insights into user preferences and requirements, this study can guide the development and implementation of an effective and user-friendly app for addressing ADHD symptoms and improving the lives of individuals with ADHD.
