Wearable technology (WT) to measure and support social and non-social functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been a growing interest of researchers over the past decade. There is however limited understanding of the WTs currently available for autistic individuals, and how they measure functioning in this population.
This scoping review explored the use of WTs for measuring and supporting abilities, disabilities and functional skills in autistic youth.
Four electronic databases were searched to identify literature investigating the use of WT in autistic youth, resulting in a total of 33 studies being reviewed. Descriptive and content analysis was conducted, with studies subsequently mapped to the ASD International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core-sets and the ICF Child and Youth Version (ICF-CY).
Studies were predominately pilot studies for novel devices. WTs measured a range of physiological and behavioural functions to objectively measure stereotypical motor movements, social function, communication, and emotion regulation in autistic youth in the context of a range of environments and activities.
While this review raises promising prospects for the use of WTs for autistic youth, the current evidence is limited and requires further investigation.
在过去十年中，用于测量和支持自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者社交和非社交功能的可穿戴技术（WT）一直是研究人员日益关注的领域。然而，目前对于可供自闭症患者使用的可穿戴技术，以及它们如何测量该人群的功能，人们的了解有限。
本范围综述探讨了可穿戴技术在测量和支持自闭症青少年的能力、残疾和功能技能方面的应用。
检索了四个电子数据库，以识别研究可穿戴技术在自闭症青少年中应用的文献，共对33项研究进行了综述。进行了描述性和内容分析，随后将研究映射到《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》自闭症核心集以及《国际功能、残疾和健康分类儿童与青少年版》（ICF-CY）。
研究主要是针对新型设备的试点研究。可穿戴技术测量了一系列生理和行为功能，以客观地测量自闭症青少年在一系列环境和活动中的刻板运动行为、社交功能、沟通和情绪调节。
虽然本综述为可穿戴技术在自闭症青少年中的应用带来了有前景的前景，但目前的证据有限，需要进一步研究。
