THERAPEUTIC

Unlike pills (red dotted line) that peak and wear off, the steady trans-dermal levels of medication delivered through the patch will help you focus all day, everyday!

This graph shows that, with oral medication, that there are peaks when the medication works well and then it wears off between doses. The "minimum therapeutic level" and the "maximum therapeutic level" mark when the ADHD medicine is the most effective.  If you get below the therapeutic level then it is very hard to pay attention and the medicine isn't working.  The patch would help people with ADHD have more constant levels of medication.  The watch would be able to turn off the medicine in time for meals and bed. 

DRAWBACKS

The primary drawback to the watch is site irritation.  

To reduce inflammation and irritation, the patch can be placed in many places around the wrist, both on the top and bottom.  The watch can be worn on either arm.  This will allow for many potential sites for the patch application and regular rotation would help to decrease any irritation or inflammation from the device.
