Smart Monitoring System for Autistic Patients

Abstract: This paper reports on a wearable IoT monitoring system which can be used for the collection of quantified data of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by which the parent or the guardian can monitor easily. The objective of the project is to monitor the children with Autism by a self-updating monitoring system. Autism is referred to behavioural disorder because of the repeated and non-functional activities of the patients. The long-term objective of the project is to use this system for data-driven detection, therapy, intervention, and progress monitoring for children with Autism. This project consists of accelerometer sensor, GPS module, Wi-Fi Module, Audio sensor, Temperature sensor connected to Arduino UNO. The accelerometer is used to detect the child’s activity continuously. The data is transferred to the mobile phones of the guardian or the parent by which the needs can be fulfilled or accidents may be prevented. Using the data collected over a period of time, intervention of this disorder can be developed in a vast manner.
