Project Details

Description

This project addresses the issue of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Ecuador, a condition that significantly impacts the academic and personal development of children and youth. Currently, diagnosis based on the EDEPAC scale is performed manually, which carries risks of subjectivity and human error, while also limiting access to specialized services in rural or marginalized areas. The proposed solution involves developing a mobile and web application that digitizes the EDEPAC scale, integrating cloud services for authentication, storage, and data analysis. This approach seeks to automate result processing, allowing for faster and more accurate interpretation by healthcare professionals. The methodology includes a phase of qualitative and quantitative research, followed by agile software development and pilot testing with specialists. The implementation of this tool is expected to improve diagnostic efficiency, reduce waiting times, and facilitate access to mental health care, contributing to early intervention and improving the quality of life for patients and their families.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>Digitally transform the evaluation processes for diagnosing ADHD in children and youth in Ecuador using cloud services. The goal is to improve accessibility, efficiency, and diagnostic accuracy to facilitate early intervention.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Telematics
