Resumen

La dislexia es un trastorno del aprendizaje de origen neurológico que afecta significativamente a las habilidades de lectura y escritura de los niños, a pesar de que su inteligencia sea normal, y su identificación tardía puede acarrear consecuencias académicas y psicosociales a largo plazo. Los métodos actuales de detección de la dislexia se basan en gran medida en evaluaciones realizadas por expertos que requieren mucho tiempo, son subjetivas y difíciles de aplicar a gran escala en entornos no clínicos. Aunque estudios recientes han explorado enfoques basados en la inteligencia artificial (IA) para la detección de la dislexia, muchos siguen limitándose a datos de una sola modalidad, análisis sin conexión o implementaciones no móviles, lo que restringe su aplicabilidad práctica para la detección precoz. El objetivo de este estudio fue desarrollar una aplicación móvil basada en IA para la detección precoz de la dislexia, aprovechando datos secuenciales de texto y voz mediante una arquitectura de red neuronal recurrente (RNN), concretamente la unidad recurrente con compuerta (GRU). Se empleó una metodología de investigación y desarrollo (I+D) que abarcó el análisis de requisitos, el diseño del sistema, el entrenamiento del modelo GRU, el desarrollo de la aplicación móvil con Flutter y la integración del sistema con un backend RESTful y una base de datos MySQL. El modelo GRU se entrenó con texto de lectura preprocesado y grabaciones de voz para captar los patrones temporales asociados a los comportamientos de lectura relacionados con la dislexia. Los resultados experimentales indican que el modelo propuesto alcanzó un rendimiento de clasificación fiable en la identificación de patrones relacionados con la dislexia, mientras que la aplicación móvil proporcionó con éxito resultados de detección en tiempo real y mantuvo registros de evaluación longitudinales. Los resultados demuestran que la integración de modelos ligeros de aprendizaje profundo secuencial en plataformas móviles ofrece una solución escalable y accesible para la detección precoz de la dislexia, lo que permite su uso independiente por parte de padres y educadores fuera de entornos clínicos.
