Description
Around the world, individuals are diagnosed with neurodivergent disorders that affect their daily lives and some even go undiagnosed which can cause confusion and stress. Through Pod, neurodivergent individuals, especially those with ADHD or ASD, can create routines and make task completion easier, especially when they have a lot on their mind already.
Overview
This was a junior-level class and we are working groups of 4-5 to create an app or product that targets those with neurodivergent or neurotypical disorders to help them navigate the world around them. Neurodivergent and neurotypical are different categories, so we decided to focus on those with neurodivergent disorders, such as ADHD, as that tended to be the most common disorder both diagnosed and undiagnosed.
After conducting primary and secondary research, we found that avoidance of tasks, anxiety when completing a task, and having a routine were at the route of those with ADHD disorder. At the end of 10 weeks, we created an app that is designed with neurodivergent individuals in mind.

Solution
After the conclusion of 10 weeks, we created an application that not only is a typical task manager, but it allows those with neurodivergent disorders, especially ADHD, to build up the confidence to complete tasks and create a routine to follow in their daily lives. Although this application is made with those who are diagnosed with a neurodivergent disorder, it can also assist those who are undiagnosed and use the application to its full potential in the same way.
