Technologies and techniques for detecting and alerting onset Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), where a device receives sensor data including heart rate data, accelerometer data and audio data. the device is configured to activate the collection of accelerometer data and extract accelerometer data features comprising frequency components if the heart rate exceeds a first threshold, activate the collection of audio data and extract audio data features comprising frequency components if the heart rate data meets or exceeds a second predetermined threshold, determine if the audio data meets or exceeds a predetermined audio threshold comprising frequency characteristics, and transmit an alert indicating the detection of an onset ASD episode, based on the extracted audio data features, the extracted accelerometer data features and the heart rate data.
