OFFIS was founded in 1991 as the first Institute of the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg. It researches new forms of computer-supported information technologies for application-oriented hardware and software systems. OFFIS conducts research and development within the health sector and focuses especially on systems to support users during their day-to-day life. As one of Germany’s largest groups in human-machine interaction research with around 25 members, OFFIS works on multiple regional, national, and international research projects. One of the main goals is to develop new interfaces that fulfill user needs and improve accessibility, usability, and user experience. To meet user needs for new technologies, our work is based on a human-centered design process, which includes methods to gain requirements and contexts of use, the development of prototypes, and the evaluation of interaction concepts using formal and informal methods.

The University Hospital Bonn is one of the maximum care clinics in NRW. The core competencies of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University of Bonn (UKPP) under the new leadership of Prof. Dr. med. Alexandra Philipsen are in the neurobiology of emotion regulation and impulse control as well as in the investigation of new pharmacological and non-pharmacological studies. In addition to a stationary diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in adulthood, the UKPP offers an ADHD special outpatient clinic since May 2018. Prof. Dr. Philipsen has been working scientifically on ADHD for years (see, for example, the current scientific program in 3Sat "ADHD for a lifetime"). After many years working at the University Clinic of Freiburg and her habilitation on "On aetiology, clinic and therapy of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder in adulthood", she first moved in 2014 to the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University of Oldenburg as W3 professor and director. In 2018 she then followed a call to the University of Bonn and is now leading the UKPP Bonn since February 2018. The UKPP represents the clinical application partner in the project and brings its clinical and scientific ADHD expertise into the project. In particular, this includes the clinical and scientific expertise regarding the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD as well as national and international scientific networking. Furthermore, as a member of the scientific advisory board, there is a close link to the self-help network (ADHS Germany e.V.).
