This $256,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support Products For Any Lifestyle, Inc. (PAL) in developing a wearable device and machine learning model to predict and prevent meltdowns in children with autism. The NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program aims to advance breakthrough technologies addressing national challenges.

PAL will create a prototype wearable that continuously monitors biometrics to predict meltdowns using individualized machine learning models. By detecting high-risk periods, the device will alert caregivers in time to intervene and potentially prevent destructive episodes. If successful, this technology could help reduce stigma and healthcare costs for children with autism and their families by decreasing meltdown frequency and severity. The award period runs from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2023, allowing PAL to develop a product incorporating physiological monitoring, machine learning customization, and meltdown prediction capabilities.
