| Résumé : |
Background Wearable devices have been utilized to detect real-time physiological changes, allowing for a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying behavioral and cognitive processes in humans. However, little is known about the efficacy of wearable devices in measuring emotional processes in youth with autism, who may experience challenges with social communication and emotion dysregulation. Method This systematic review analyzed 14 peer-reviewed journal articles published over the past 10 years. Search terms were categorized into “wearable,” “emotion,” “autism,” and “youth.” Body-worn wearable devices, such as smartwatches and wristbands, were the most frequently used, while cardiovascular signals were the most measured. Results Findings from the reviewed articles indicate the potential of interventions using wearable technology to improve emotion recognition, decrease emotional outbursts, and reduce stress or anxiety levels. Based on wearable data, machine learning approaches were also utilized to predict challenging behaviors or aggressive episodes before they occurred in autistic youth. Conclusion This review discusses clinical implications and ethical considerations for improving socio-emotional development and emotion regulation in autistic youth. Future research should include more studies using wearable technology in naturalistic settings, such as homes or schools, to better understand emotion regulation strategies across diverse autistic populations. |
