A systematic literature review on the internet of things applications used by people with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we provide a systematic literature review that explores the Internet of Things (IoT) application to support people affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This disorder represents several limitations to learning, interacting with others, and communicating. Research has shown the great potential of the IoT in providing approaches that target individuals with ASD and help them in learning and their daily activities. Several studies on the topic of IoT were reviewed. The main aim of this review is to recognize relevant studies about the use of IoT to support people affected by ASD, particularly children. In addition, a classification is presented to classify the existing papers.
