Wearables and behavioral coding show promise for measuring and predicting severe emotional outbursts in children
Our results suggest that behavioral observation has the potential of predicting outbursts, and that wearable sensors are tolerable and feasible for children to wear. Overall, multiple methodologies should be studied concurrently and may be required to predict outbursts in the future.
