SUMMARY
Between 2020 and 2022, adhd diagnosis have doubled in women between the ages of 30 to 49. Woman with ADHD have not received the attention that they need because of gender biases and different symptom presentation than men. A womans hormone cycles are also vastly different than a mans and causes their ADHD symptoms to be much more intense. Femme Focused is an app design for women with ADHD as they are navigating theit symptoms and how it interacts with their hormonal cycle while giving them a sense of control over their mind.
challenge
Women who have diagnosed/undiagnosed ADHD that did not find out until adulthood. They need guidance and understanding in how their ADHD interacts with their bodies and their hormonal cycles. more and more woman are finding out that they have ADHD well into adulthood and don't know how to navigate this diagnosis that they've had majority of their life. Because of gender biases and symptom presentation, women with ADHD have not received the attention that they’ve desperately needed.
Outcome
It shaped into a mental health platform for women with ADHD. It addresses the needs of my stakeholders because its difficult to find guidance on how to navigate having ADHD as a woman diagnosed later in life.
