If the manufacturers ofwearablesrather think of the general public when they develop their products whose objective is to convince as many potential buyers as possible, it happens that certain features actually become real assets for minority populations. Thus, more and more consumers are able to cope with their difference thanks to progress.
Today, we are interested in the concrete example of aApple Watchwhich allows an autistic Texan child to become more attentive while making his parents' lives calmer. Make yourself comfortable, have a nice tea, and enjoy your dose of positive news of the day!
Smartwatch and perseverative behavior
Sam is 21 years old. From a very young age, he manifests all the characteristics ofautism: stereotypical habits, social learning difficulties, etc. The most visible? His words, which flow at a volume too high to be tolerated by the ears of those around him.
His friends' repeated requests for him to tone it down don't change anything: if Sam calms down, he starts up again a few seconds later. Then comes a “miracle” for his family: thanks to the applicationNoiseon watchOS, you can measure the volume of your voice in real time. He then only has to receive the notification which alerts him that he is speaking too loudly to measure himself. Simple and effective!
To go further
Thanks to thischangedrastic, Sam can now spend more time with his Husky who no longer runs to the other side of the room afraid of his cries. He will also perhaps one day be able to attend Roland-Garros, or go see a golf competition, which is what he prefers. And of course, he'll know when to use his earplugs if he discovers Techno.
This is not the first time that this disorder has been attacked by a product ofApple:the iPhone is also affected. Moreover,Google Glass, too, wants to become an aid for autistic people.
