Autobiographical memory, central in human cognition and every day functioning, enables past experienced events to be remembered. A variety of disorders affecting autobiographical memory are characterized by the difficulty of retrieving specific detailed memories of past personal events. Owing to the impact of autobiographical memory impairment on patients' daily life, it is necessary to better understand these deficits and develop relevant methods to improve autobiographical memory. The primary objective of the present systematic PRISMA review was to give an overview of the first empirical evidence of the potential of wearable cameras in autobiographical memory investigation in remediating autobiographical memory impairments. The peer-reviewed literature published since 2004 on the usefulness of wearable cameras in research protocols was explored in 3 databases (PUBMED, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar). Twenty-eight published studies that used a protocol involving wearable camera, either to explore wearable camera functioning and impact on daily life, or to investigate autobiographical memory processing or remediate autobiographical memory impairment, were included. This review analyzed the potential of wearable cameras for 1) investigating autobiographical memory processes in healthy volunteers without memory impairment and in clinical populations, and 2) remediating autobiographical memory in patients with various kinds of memory disorder. Mechanisms to account for the efficacy of wearable cameras are also discussed. The review concludes by discussing certain limitations inherent to using cameras, and new research perspectives. Finally, ethical issues raised by this new technology are considered.
自传体记忆在人类认知和日常生活中至关重要，它能让人回忆起过去经历过的事件。多种影响自传体记忆的障碍表现为难以提取过去个人事件的具体细节记忆。由于自传体记忆受损会对患者日常生活产生影响，因此有必要更好地理解这些缺陷，并开发相关方法来改善自传体记忆。本系统的PRISMA综述的主要目的是概述可穿戴相机在自传体记忆调查中修复自传体记忆障碍潜力的首批实证证据。在3个数据库（PubMed、PsycINFO和谷歌学术）中检索了自2004年以来发表的关于可穿戴相机在研究方案中有用性的同行评审文献。纳入了28项已发表的研究，这些研究使用了涉及可穿戴相机的方案，要么是为了探索可穿戴相机的功能及其对日常生活的影响，要么是为了调查自传体记忆处理过程或修复自传体记忆障碍。本综述分析了可穿戴相机在以下两方面的潜力：1）在无记忆障碍的健康志愿者和临床人群中调查自传体记忆过程；2）在患有各种记忆障碍的患者中修复自传体记忆。还讨论了可穿戴相机有效性的机制。综述最后讨论了使用相机固有的某些局限性以及新的研究视角。最后，考虑了这项新技术引发的伦理问题。
