SWEAT RESISTANCE BIOMARKER FOR ADHD CHILDREN BASE ON ARDUINO (SRADA) TO MITIGATE UNTREATED ADHD
Description: SRADA is a wearable, Arduino-based device designed to detect stress in children—particularly those with ADHD—by measuring changes in sweat resistance (Electrodermal Activity or EDA). Using an ESP32-C3 microcontroller, the device captures skin resistance data in real time, displays it through a connected mobile app, and stores it in Firebase for remote monitoring and analysis. The system provides early indicators of ADHD-related stress responses during rest, cognitive, and physical tasks, making it a powerful tool for non-invasive behavioral assessment.
This research presents SRADA, a real-time, cloud-connected wearable device that leverages sweat resistance (EDA) as a biomarker for detecting stress responses in children with ADHD. Built using an Arduino-compatible ESP32-C3 and integrated with Firebase, the system records and analyzes skin resistance variations during different activity states. Experimental trials with ADHD and non-ADHD participants showed significant differences in resistance values, confirming SRADA's potential as a precise and efficient early-detection tool for untreated ADHD. The device’s portability, low power consumption, and fast response make it highly suitable for home or clinical monitoring.
