Abstract

The diagnosis of attention disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common in school-age children, however, the figures vary depending on the children's country of residence, and in some cases, Mexico does not have official figures of how many children suffer from it, this is believed to be due to the fact that current diagnostic instruments do not take into account all the factors that influence the mechanisms of attention, for example, the concept of childhood in society could be influencing the growing number of ADHD cases, among other factors.

In this work, a proposal for a technological tool supported by various disciplines is presented that contributes to the objective of understanding how the attention process is in children to measure the levels of attention, using eye tracking tools. In conjunction with cognitive load tests and neuropsychological assessments.
