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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
