First Claim
1. A system for providing monitoring of and analysis related to a wearer of a wearable data collection device, the system comprising:
- a wearable data collection device comprisingprocessing circuitry, anda non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon; and
one or more input capture elements connected to and/or in communication with the wearable data collection device;
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry of the wearable data collection device, cause the processing circuitry to;
collect, via at least one of the one or more input capture elements, sensor data, wherein the sensor data includes at least one of image data, audio data, and motion data,analyze the sensor data to identify at least one socially relevant behavior of the wearer that is responsive to at least one socially relevant event involving an interaction between the wearer and at least one other participant, whereinthe at least one socially relevant behavior includes a gesture of the wearer, andidentifying the at least one socially relevant behavior comprises determining a threshold difference between the at least one socially relevant behavior of the wearer and a conventional response to the at least one socially relevant event, whereinthe at least one socially relevant event occurs prior to or concurrently with the at least one socially relevant behavior,using the threshold difference, identify whether the behavior of the wearer varies from the conventional response,store, upon a non-transitory computer readable storage device, information related to the at least one socially relevant behavior,responsive to identifying that the behavior of the wearer varies from the conventional response,present, to the wearer via one or more output features of the wearable data collection device, feedback directed to modifying the socially relevant behavior,analyze sensor data captured subsequently to a timeframe of presenting the feedback to identify a subsequent gesture of the wearer responsive to the feedback,determine whether the subsequent gesture more closely matches the conventional response, andpresent, via at least one output feature of the one or more output features of the wearable data collection device, subsequent feedback to the wearer, wherein the subsequent feedback comprises at least one of i) indication of success or failure in performing the conventional response, and ii) progress feedback comprising at least one of a) an ongoing score, b) a comparative score comparing a prior session to a present session, c) a competitive score comparing a score of the wearer to a score of one or more additional individuals, and d) a level completion status.

Abstract
The systems, environment, and methods, described herein support evaluation of an individual for ASD while in the home environment. Through data collected by a wearable data collection device donned by the individual, eye contact with the caregiver, verbal interaction, and repetitive verbalizations and motions of the head and body may be tracked and objectively quantified during evaluation. Further, the wearable data collection device may support monitoring of brain activity and other physiology which, in turn, may be analyzed by the systems and environment described herein during evaluation to recognize patterns that predict evaluation outcome and other clinical features. Various software modules and tools supported by the wearable data collection device provide training, ongoing progress tracking, and management solutions for individuals living with ASD.

16. A method for assisting a wearer of a wearable data collection device in responding to socially relevant events, the system comprising:
-
collecting, via at least one of one or more input capture elements connected to and/or in communication with the wearable data collection device, sensor data, wherein the sensor data includes at least one of image data, audio data, and motion data; analyzing, via processing circuitry, the sensor data to identify a gesture made by the wearer in response to at least one socially relevant event involving an interaction between the wearer and at least one other participant, wherein the at least one socially relevant event occurs prior to or concurrently with the gesture; identifying, by the processing circuitry, at least one conventional response to the at least one socially relevant event; determining, by the processing circuitry, a measured difference between the gesture and the at least one conventional response; using the measured difference, determining, by the processing circuitry, whether the gesture of the wearer varies from the conventional response by at least a threshold amount; storing, upon a non-transitory computer readable storage device, information related to the gesture; responsive to determining that the gesture of the wearer varies from the conventional response by at least a threshold amount, selecting, by the processing circuitry based at least in part on the gesture, feedback directed to modifying or encouraging a socially relevant behavior of the wearer to produce a subsequent conventional response, presenting, to the wearer via one or more output features of the wearable data collection device, the feedback, analyzing, by the processing circuitry, sensor data captured subsequently to a timeframe of presenting the feedback to identify a subsequent gesture of the wearer responsive to the feedback, determining, by the processing circuitry, whether the subsequent gesture corresponds to the subsequent conventional response, and presenting, via at least one output feature of the one or more output features of the wearable data collection device, subsequent feedback to the wearer, wherein the subsequent feedback comprises at least one of i) indication of success or failure in performing the subsequent conventional response, and ii) progress feedback comprising at least one of a) an ongoing score, b) a comparative score comparing a prior session to a present session, c) a competitive score comparing a score of the wearer to a score of one or more additional individuals, and d) a level completion status.
