Detailed Description

Restlessness is a common symptom exhibited by those with both ADHD and anxiety disorders. This often results in them showing these symptoms and fidgeting in a public situation, which might be misunderstood as this often happens subconsciously and is the result of wanting to keep moving. And when they can’t do it worsens their anxiety or makes them frustrated. While people have found ways around this and have different things they use to fidget. This project aims to understand the problem space and design a product that might fit the user’s needs better. I conducted user research and drew upon my own experiences to get a deeper understanding and used that to arrive at a design brief, which I used to work on ideation and conceptualization and come up with the final product.
