Autism Together – Biometrics Project Plan

Biometric wristbands to help care for those with severe autism

UK North-West charity centre in Wirral will provide wearable light-weight biometric wristbands to people with autism to measure minute physiological changes such as surface skin temperate, heart rate and swearing. The wristbands will be intended for those who may be non-verbal or unable to communicate how they feel. The real-time data provided by the wristbands could help carers identify periods of high anxiety, enabling them to step in and head off any dramatic behaviour changes.
