Co-designing Wearable Neuroimaging for Neurodivergent Children with Families and Industry

This study explores the use of wearable neuroimaging combined with virtual reality to identify early biomarkers in neurodivergent children, focusing on improving participation through co-design with families and industry. The research involved 54 children aged 3 to 7 across neurotypical, ADHD elevated likelihood, and autism groups, revealing high engagement in neurotypical and ADHD groups but variable engagement in autistic children due to equipment-related hypersensitivities. The findings highlight the importance of personalized approaches to wearable neuroimaging for young neurodivergent populations.
