We argue the potential of recent widespread wearables, and more specifically smartwatches, to achieve this goal. Then, a smartwatch system that implements a wide range of self-regulation strategies and infers outburst patterns from physiological signals and movement is presented, along with an authoring tool for smartphones that is to be used by caregivers or family members to create and edit these strategies, in an adaptive way. We conducted an intensive experiment with two individuals with ASD who showed varied, representative behavioral responses to their emotional dysregulation. Both users were able to employ effective, customized emotional self-regulation strategies by means of the system, recovering from the majority of mild stress episodes and temper tantrums experienced in the nine days of experiment in their classroom.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17061359","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,12]],"date-time":"2017-06-12T10:27:59Z","timestamp":1497263279000},"page":"1359","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":117,"title":["Emotional Self-Regulation of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Smartwatches for Monitoring and Interaction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Juan C.","family":"Torrado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, Madrid 28049, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Gomez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, Madrid 28049, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7393-1226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Germ\u00e1n","family":"Montoro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, Madrid 28049, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"McDougle, C.
