Abstract: With the rapid growth in the technology, 'internet of things' takes an emerging step. The objective of the proposed paper is to monitor the mental states of autism patients. Autism is stated as neurological disorder where a patient is unable to express feelings and face communication difficulties. Doctor or family members of a patient face difficulties to understand the behaviour of autistic individual. The proposed paper highlights design idea to build a device which is embedded with skin temperature and body temperature sensors through which the mental states of an individual will be monitored. Monitoring mental status helps to understand the various behaviour of a patient and significant measure can be taken. Mental states give rise to different sentiments in an individual. Temperature changes in an individual body maps to different states of emotion. Continuous monitoring helps to analyse and streaming data will be collected from the sensor device. The proposed paper highlights the simulation through the sample sensor data.
