Capturing symptom change as the disorder progresses is challenging. Wearable sensors offer a non-invasive and objective means of monitoring disease states in neurodevelopmental disorders. The goal of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review to critically appraise the literature on the use of wearable sensors in individuals with RTT. The PRISMA criteria were used to search four databases without time restriction and identified 226 records. After removing duplicates, the titles and abstracts of 184 records were screened, 147 were excluded, and 37 were assessed for eligibility. Ten (10) articles remained, and a further two were included after additional searching. In total, 12 articles were included in the final analysis. The sample size ranged from 7 to 47 subjects with an age range of 1 to 41 years. Different wearable biosensor devices were used across studies, with the Empatica E4 wearable device being most frequently used in 33% (4\/12) of the studies. All the studies demonstrated a high methodological quality with a low risk of bias. Evidence from wearable sensors, combined with machine learning methods, enabled the prediction of different sleep patterns and clinical severity in RTT. Given the small sample size and the limitations of available data for training machine learning models, we highlight areas for consideration. The review emphasises the need to enhance research on the application of wearable sensors in epilepsy and gastrointestinal manifestations\/morbidity in RTT. Increased electrodermal activity (EDA), % of maximum heart rate (HRmax%) and the heart rate to low-frequency power (HR\/LF) ratio were identified as physiological measures potentially associated with disease states. Based on the evidence synthesis, the role of physiological parameters and their association with symptom management in RTT is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s25216697","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,3]],"date-time":"2025-11-03T18:21:46Z","timestamp":1762194106000},"page":"6697","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A
