Application of IoT in Autism
environment and related gadgets could have extraordinary potential for conveying and
filling in as method for assistive advances for autistic individuals and their families too.
Besides, the low expenses for such advancements could make them accessible for locales
with low wages, potentially helping enhancing the lives of individuals with a mental
imbalance and their families in underserviced and financially tested provinces of the
world. With the massive advancement in smart technologies and improvement in digital
communication methods, the “Internet of Thing” has turned into another standard for the
plan and improvement of associated gadgets and smart environments.
The smart device can help to alert and clarify the needs of children, and also they and
their parents may feel less pressure as it provides ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system.
We analyzed the commitment of every arrangement of IoT toward enhancing the efficiency
and effectiveness of autistic children for their way of life and also of society. Unmistakably
more and more wearable IoT solutions will advance their life easier over the coming years.
We accept that further research that addresses open difficulties will help extend more IoT
arrangements to strengthen the present IoT solutions. This chapter is projected to emphasize the prospective benefits of the IoT serving as a means of distributing services and
improving the value of living of autistic children and supporting their families.
