Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 118 (October 2024) . - 102483 Titre : Have information and communication technologies research for neurodevelopmental disorders improved overtime? A systematic meta-review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carlotta BETTENCOURT, Auteur ; Salvatore ANZALONE, Auteur ; Mohamed CHETOUANI, Auteur ; David COHEN, Auteur ; Charline GROSSARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102483 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Metareview  ICT  Neurodevelopmental disorders  Design  Methodology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The significant increase of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) use for individuals with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD) has created an urgent need to examine the implications of both the design and the research methodologies used to study them. Methods We searched four databases (PubMed, IEEXplore, Scopus, and ACM Digital Library) to find relevant reviews on clinical applications of ICTs with individuals with NDD. We extracted all studies (n = 1879) from 301 reviews, and classified them into categories: robots, serious games (SG), video modeling (VM), Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). We randomly assessed 182 studies (45 per ICT category) stratified by years of publication using the Connolly methodology scale and design ICT inventory (DICTI). We also described the best papers per ICT (most cited or highest impact factor journals). Results Our assessments have indicated that the overall research methodology quality of ICT studies is poor. Serious Games (SG) studies have the best research methodology and ICT design quality scores. Studies on robots, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and video modeling (VM) have shown improved research methodology over the years, though only SG design shown improvement consistently. Autism is the most prevalent NDD in terms of clinical focus in ICT therapeutic and educational interventions. Currently, no ICT has been approved as a prescription treatment in NDD, with the notable exception of EndeavorRx?, a SG for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The literature also emphasizes that meeting the main research methodology criteria is essential for evidence-based medicine, Personalization, adaptability, positive feedback, human interaction and affordability are among the most important features to take into consideration in ICT design for NDD. Conclusion The review highlights the need for higher-quality studies, user-friendly technologies, personalization, positive feedback, and accessibility. ICTs are not detrimental to learning and demonstrate potential benefits for individuals with NDD. However, more evidence-based studies are needed to reach treatment prescription recommendation.
