Leveraging Mobile Sensing to Provide Early Detection of Meltdowns in Children with Autism
Are you interested in contributing to research exploring early detection of meltdowns in kids with autism? ðŸ’
A research team collaboration between Singapore Management University (SMU) and Duke-NUS Medical School is leading an exploratory study aimed at using existing sensor-based devices to detect meltdowns. A meltdown is an intense outburst, typically when a person with autism experiences overwhelming emotions. They are recruiting 8-12 years old participants with autism, enrolled in Pathlight or Saint Andrew's Mission School, and their caregivers for a home-based research study. To be eligible, participants must experience meltdowns and be comfortable wearing a child-friendly smartwatch for 4-6 hours a day in flexible intervals. Reimbursement for transport, time and inconveniences will be provided. More information can be found in the poster above.
