“…As far as the population is concerned, MAR studies were widely conducted with children rather than adolescents. This agrees with Marto et al [41], who conducted the research on applying AR for autist patients with 16 studies. Their parents tend to provide intensive treatment for them at younger ages, which may be related to the golden period of the intervention; however, it has no evidence.…”

“…Several literature reviews have been published about the use of augmented reality technologies in interventions with children and adolescents with ASD. Marto et al have conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) of 16 primary studies on the use of AR for the rehabilitation of people diagnosed with ASD [41]. However, only eight studies on MAR were included.…”

Over the past decade, enhanced computing capabilities and mobile technologies have begotten the upsurge of innovative mobile health (mHealth) solutions, and many research efforts have occurred recently in the area of technology-based interventions (TBI) for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Mobile augmented reality (MAR) refers to AR systems that use the handheld mobile device medium (mobile phones, tablets or smart glasses). This article reports the results of a systematic review undertaken on the use of MAR for ASD-related skills learning from the year 2010. It aims to provide an insight into the current state of research on MAR interventions and to provide guidance to relevant designers and researchers. We searched seven databases and retrieved 625 articles initially. After exclusion and screening, 36 articles were reviewed reporting on using MAR to improve various skills of children and adolescents with ASD, and 10 research questions related to PICO (P: Population, I: Intervention, C: Comparison, O: Outcomes) were addressed. This study identifies challenges that still exist in the research efforts towards the development of applications exploiting the MAR for ASD interventions: technology issues, research design consideration, subjective assessment etc. The studies examined suggest researchers should focus on users and improve the quality of the MAR app. In addition, more effective research methods and evaluation methods could be involved in future studies to facilitate the development of MAR intervention applications.

“…Despite the promising results of the application of AR in interventions in children and adolescents with ASD, at present time, only two previous reviews [ 15 , 16 ] about ASD and AR have been carried out. A recent review focused on the use of AR for intervention in people with ASD [ 15 ]. Only 16 studies were identified, and many of them were presentations to congresses.…”

Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent difficulties in communication and social interaction along with a restriction in interests and the presence of repetitive behaviors. The development and use of augmented reality technology for autism has increased in recent years. However, little is known about the impact of these virtual reality technologies on clinical health symptoms. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the impact of augmented reality through social, cognitive, and behavioral domains in children and adolescents with autism. This study is the first contribution that has carried out an evidence-based systematic review including relevant science databases about the effectiveness of augmented reality-based intervention in ASD. The initial search identified a total of 387 records. After the exclusion of papers that are not research studies and are duplicated articles and after screening the abstract and full text, 20 articles were selected for analysis. The studies examined suggest promising findings about the effectiveness of augmented reality-based treatments for the promotion, support, and protection of health and wellbeing in children and adolescents with autism. Finally, possible directions for future work are discussed.

“…Auch hier ermöglicht die Technologie zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, so wie sie beispielsweise gegenwärtig im Bereich der augmentierten Realität zur Verbesserung der Teilhabe von Menschen mit psychiatrischen Beeinträchtigungen erforscht werden. Dabei kann unter anderem in spielerischer Form das Interesse an menschlichen Gesichtern in der Umgebung belohnt werden oder die Erkennung von Emotionen aus Gesichtsausdrücken durch entsprechende Markierungen erleichtert werden [ 9 ]. Natürlich birgt dieser Ansatz auch Risiken, man denke beispielsweise an die Perpetuierung und Vergröberung von Stereotypien über psychische Erkrankungen im Zusammenhang sozialer Netzwerke.…”

ZusammenfassungIn dieser Übersicht werden Chancen und Risiken der digitalen Transformation in ihrer Bedeutung für die Diagnostik und Therapie psychischer Erkrankungen unter dem Aspekt der Konvergenz neuer digitaler Technologien thematisiert. Die Möglichkeiten Smartphone-basierter Technologien für die Erfassung des lebensweltlichen Kontextes werden erläutert und anhand zweier aktueller Forschungsergebnisse die Anwendung dieses Ansatzes auf die Untersuchung von Resilienzmechanismen zur Verbesserung der psychischen Befindlichkeit dargestellt. Im Anschluss wird die zunehmende Vernetzung des Umweltkontextes selber vor dem Hintergrund des sog. „internet of things“ (IoT) in den Blick genommen. Diese konvergierenden Technologien ermöglichen in Kombination mit neuen Entwicklungen in der künstlichen Intelligenz eine neue Generation von Interventionen in der Lebenswelt („ecological momentary interventions“, EMI), die sich auf innovative Sensoren, lokale Berechnungen des lebensweltlichen Kontextes und deren Bewertung mithilfe der künstlichen Intelligenz stützen.
