tiimo

tiimo is like a friend on your wrist. The app gives children with ADHD, autism, brain damage and other diagnoses resulting in special needs more structure in their everyday life. “The smartwatch is a good platform because it accompanies the child throughout the day, and it vibrates when it’s time for a new activity,” says Melissa Azari, co-founder of tiimo. “Furthermore, there is a visual countdown ahead of the next activity, which helps the children understand how much time they have left of the current activity. This makes them more independent, because they don’t always have to ask an adult.”
