SIstema DOmiciliare di Rieducazione Espressiva del Movimento e dell'Interazione
In this project, the WNLab is tasked with developing an innovative and non-invasive system for monitoring sleep quality that is specifically tailored for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This novel approach to sleep monitoring holds significant promise for effectively addressing the sleep disorders often experienced by ASD patients.
The system utilizes a sensor matrix placed beneath the children's mattress to gather sleep-related data. Given that individuals with ASD frequently struggle with sleep disturbances, this solution offers a valuable means of tracking and analysing sleep patterns in a non-intrusive manner.
The experimentation phase of the project involved a group of children selected by Dr. Silvano Solari's team, a professor at Genova University and editor of the Autismi journal. The children who suffer from high-functioning ASD actively participated in the project with keen interest.
Furthermore, WNLab has been responsible for managing all aspects of telemedicine and remote monitoring associated with the project. This includes the development and implementation of technologies and protocols to enable remote monitoring of sleep quality and related parameters, providing healthcare professionals with valuable insights into the sleep patterns of children with ASD.
