IoT based health monitoring system for autistic patients

Abstract

The transition towards the field of Internet of Things is occurring exponentially and with the advent of sensors and automation, a revolution in the healthcare sector is certain. A persistent deficit in social communication and the social interaction among people, especially children is termed as Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Our system provides an automatic monitoring framework, using sensors, for persons affected by autism. The system keeps track of the sensor readings that are obtained from the brain signals of affected persons. The analytics are performed on the collected data and a notification is constantly sent to their care-takers.
