Safety Requirements for a Wearable Sensor Device

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges. People with ASD often have problems with social, emotional, and communication skills. Various challenging behavior events are a problem at the community and family levels, making life difficult for autistic people and their environment. Monitoring the physiological changes associated with negative emotions in people with ASD can support caregivers by giving them insights into the internal emotional changes in a real-time fashion. It makes it possible to act as early as possible to prevent the formulation of behavioral problems. In the current research phase, the design of the unique sensor device required for the preliminary data collection is taking place, for which we define the necessary minimum requirements in the safety area. When defining the requirements, we also consider their specific behavioral characteristics. The purpose of this document is to present the requirements identification method and the output of the process.
