MONITORING, TRACKING, AND MANAGING SYMPTOMS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to monitor repetitive motion exhibited by a user on the autism spectrum;
a processor connected to the plurality of sensors, the processor configured to determine whether a repetitive motion exhibited by the user exceeds an autism episode threshold to determine that the user is experiencing an autism episode;
memory configured to store an autism episode alleviation action associated with the user, wherein the autism episode alleviation action is accessed by the processor upon determining that the user is experiencing an autism episode; and
an output interface configured to present materials from the autism episode alleviation action to the user, the autism episode alleviation action configured to reduce the severity or duration of the autism episode.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention describe mechanisms configured to monitor, track, and manage symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. According to particular embodiments, a system includes sensors configured to monitor repetitive motion exhibited by a user with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The sensors are connected to a processor that is configured to determine whether the repetitive motion exhibited by the user exceeds an autism episode threshold. Once the autism episode threshold has been reached, the processor can access from memory an autism episode alleviation action associated with the user. Materials associated with the autism episode alleviation action can be presented to the user through an output interface, such that presentation of these materials is configured to reduce the severity or duration of the autism episode.
