Application of IoT in Autism
and temperature sensors to classify and monitor an autistic child’s physical activities. The
IoT-based wearable sensors framework is generally assembled on a three-tier structure.
According to Lidwina and Jayanthy (2016), the first is wearable sensors that accumulate
the health particulars; the second is communication gadgets that constitute a wireless networking which facilitates the process. The third is a cloud-based online repository for
continuing storage of a child’s activities to further assist concerned parents or guardians
with their monitoring information. A number of control sensors are used for collecting
the physical activity signals and uploading. Furthermore, a lot of sensors are operated for
detecting the emotional status of the child by comparing the sensor data with the predefined normal scenario values.
The representation of wearable technologies shows the changes from digital replication
and separation (simulation) to digital connectivity and responsiveness (augmentation) and
follows the three-tier system architecture as explained in Figure 14.4. The wearable gadgets are very sensitive to adapt and recognize their users, identify their place and positions, followed by the specific activities being carried out. In recent years (Viseu 2003),
a great increase has been noticed in the variety of wearable technologies available in the
