About

Scandu is a prompting and monitoring app intended to help young adults with autism and attention disorders achieve more independence with the help the of their caregivers.

Unique features

There are many reminder / alarm apps. Scandu is a time management app that can ensure that a set of tasks is complete before a deadline. Scandu is geared toward users that are “prompt dependent” and/or easily distracted due to autism or attention disorders, and require a higher degree of interaction than a typical alarm or reminder app will provide. Scandu can verify that tasks were completed by requiring the user to scan an NFC tag or QR code.

Some tasks, such as taking medicine on time or consistent hygiene are critical

There are many location tracking apps. Many apps can notify you when someone arrives at a location. Scandu can alert you when a user does not leave a location on time.

Scandu allows caregivers to receive notifications if a user is running late (completing tasks or changing locations)
