ADxS.org is supported by the non-profit organization ADxS e.V.
We would be delighted if you would like to take part and support us in helping people with ADHD.
Here are some ideas of what would be helpful.
All activities can be carried out from home.
Just send us an email to info@adxs.org.
1. International Adaptation¶
Information on medicines and sources of insolation is very country-specific.
We are looking for supporters who can help us to adapt ADxS.org to the conditions in their country with regard to available medications and information sources.
2. English native speakers¶
ADxS.org is mainly written in German and translated into English. To improve the translation, we are looking for native English speakers to help us use English idiomatic expressions correctly.
3. Contributing technical texts / Technical review¶
Are you very familiar with a topic related to ADHD? Do you enjoy writing?
We welcome text contributions, corrections or additions to existing texts.
A prerequisite for text additions is a very tightly meshed reference to freely available specialist sources.
The text must be self-created and free of third-party copyrights.
You will be named as the author of your text contribution, but you can also contribute anonymously.
4. Online tests¶
4.1. Participate in ADxS online tests as a non-affected person¶
The online tests offered by ADxS.org are online screenings, not medically validated diagnostic tests.
Nevertheless, we are constantly working to improve the quality of the tests.
To do this, we need test participants who are definitely (important!) not affected by the respective disorder (ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder).
It therefore helps us if you complete as many online tests as possible for disorders that definitely do not affect you and indicate this when you do so.
You can find the tests and surveys in the Test area.
4.2. Encourage non-affected people to take ADxS online tests¶
It would be great if you could ask friends or people with ADHD to take part in our online test for those disorders (ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder) that they are definitely (important!) not affected by and indicate this when taking the test.
You can find the tests and surveys in the Test area.
4.3. Participate in SCT/CDS test as SCT/CDS diagnosed person¶
For the Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) / Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) test, we are looking for participants who have a medical diagnosis of SCT / CDS.
You can find the tests and surveys in the Test area.
4.4. Take part in the ADHD medication effectiveness survey¶
We ask all people with ADHD who take or have taken ADHD medication to take part in the Medication effect survey To take part in the medication effects survey. This experience can be very helpful to other people with ADHD.
5. Advisory board¶
We welcome experts who support us with their expertise.
This can also affect a very small specialist area.
6. IT/Programming¶
ADxS.org is pursuing various IT projects.
6.1. Content management using PHP/Laravel¶
ADxS.org uses a self-built content management system created with the Laravel framework in PHP.
If you know how to use Laravel and would like to support us in adding to and expanding the CMS, we would be delighted to hear from you.
6.2. Web/document search with word graph / cooccurrence graph¶
We would like to open up the specialist information/source texts available to us by means of co-occurrence graphs (word graph/word cloud) in order to make content-related connections visible via the overall search result.
From advice on whether (and if so how) this can be implemented with existing tools to the programming of a corresponding display, everything would be welcome.
Example of a word graph
6.3. Solver application for neurophysiological processes (MATLAB?)¶
We would like to experiment with mapping neurophysiological processes in a solver structure.
It would be interesting to see to what extent MATLAB or another existing solver could be suitable for this. We would like to talk to someone who is familiar with MATLAB or other solver software.
Knowledge: MATLAB or other solver software.
7. Donation acquisition¶
ADxS.org is supported by the non-profit organization ADxS e.V. and is financed 100% by donations.
The more donations we receive, the more offers and tools we can build for people with ADHD.
We are looking for someone who wants to approach organizations such as health insurance companies or foundations.
For this task, experience with the acquisition of donations would be an advantage, but not a requirement.
Time required: Project-related
8. Donations¶
Donations help us to build new projects to provide information and support for people with ADHD and interested parties
ADxS.org is supported by the non-profit organization ADxS e.V.. Donations are therefore tax-deductible.
We do not accept donations from pharmaceutical companies.
Here you can donate.
If you would like to support us, simply send an email to info@adxs.org.
Thank you very much and see you soon :-)
