Family Support, Caregivers, Artificial Intelligence , Parenting, Autism Spectrum DisorderAbstract
The objective was to identify scientific studies on technological tools based on artificial intelligence designed to support family members and caregivers of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This is an integrative, descriptive review, conducted through searches in the PubMed, SciELO, and Lilacs databases. Three studies were selected. One study evaluated ChatGPT-4, showing high clarity, conciseness, and comprehensibility, but low actionability and precision of references. Another tested a sensor system with machine learning, demonstrating effectiveness in detecting attention and stress in children with ASD, as well as good acceptance by caregivers. The third analyzed a parental training program via mobile application, which reduced problematic behaviors and promoted adaptive gains. It is concluded that tools based on artificial intelligence can effectively support family members and caregivers of people with ASD. However, it is essential that their development be based on scientific research, as well as periodic adjustments and updates by developers/programmers to ensure the safety of their use. Also highlighted is the importance of promoting broad access to these technologies on a global scale.
