Resumen

Objetivo. El objetivo del estudio es mejorar la eficiencia de la comunicación para individuos con patologías neuromusculares avanzadas, específicamente aumentando el número de letras escritas por segundo a través de un software híbrido de Comunicación Aumentativa y Alternativa (AAC).


Métodos. La metodología utilizada implica el desarrollo de un software híbrido AAC que puede activarse a través de eventos acústicos, físicos o selección codificada. Además, se implementó este sistema en una aplicación de Android y se realizó un estudio del grupo objetivo para evaluar su usabilidad y accesibilidad.


Resultados. Los resultados indican que el teclado propuesto supera muchas de las limitaciones de los sistemas AAC tradicionales, proporcionando mayor usabilidad y eficiencia en la comunicación para personas con enfermedades neuromusculares.


Conclusiones. En conclusión, el estudio demuestra que el teclado propuesto ofrece una solución alternativa para mejorar la comunicación de personas con patologías neuromusculares, lo que les permite acceder a la inclusión educativa y laboral mediante el uso de cualquier tipo de computador.
