Monitoring Daily Mobility in Children With Autism
Sponsor: IRCCS San Raffaele Roma
Summary
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show motor abnormalities and sleep disturbances that affect behavior, learning, and family quality of life. Emerging technologies such as wearable devices and markerless systems provide accessible tools for gait and sleep assessment, with actigraphy recommended for long-term monitoring in natural settings. Evidence also suggests links between sleep problems and sensory processing differences. This project, aims to integrate these approaches in a clinical-translational framework.

The project integrates three complementary modules on the same participant: (A) monitoring with wearable sensors (primary objective), (B) laboratory-based gait analysis, and (C) sleep assessment using home video-EEG polysomnography (PSG). The reference wearable instrumentation follows the technical protocols established by the Politecnico di Milano, which already include the use of the AX6 device and F-Scan GO insoles among the wearable devices available within the research program.
