Abstract

Student dropout represents one of the major challenges for higher education institutions specializing in technology. The objective of this research was to design and evaluate a predictive analytics model capable of timely identification of students at risk of dropping out, using academic variables recorded on institutional platforms. A quantitative, correlational study was conducted using a simulated dataset of 185 students.

Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Logistic Regression algorithms were compared to estimate dropout risk. The simulated results showed that Random Forest achieved the best predictive performance, with an accuracy of 93.4%, enabling the early identification of students with a higher probability of dropping out. It is concluded that incorporating predictive models into university digital ecosystems can strengthen institutional decision-making and support preventive academic support strategies.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a priority public health issue due to its rising prevalence and the complications associated with sustained hyperglycemia. Early detection enables the implementation of preventive interventions and reduces the risk of cardiovascular, renal, neurological, and visual damage.

The objective of this study was to design and evaluate—through a simulated experimental exercise—an intelligent web platform for estimating diabetes risk based on clinical variables and machine learning algorithms.

A synthetic dataset comprising 1,250 records was created, and the performance of Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, and XGBoost was compared. The simulation results indicated that XGBoost achieved the best performance, with an accuracy of 96.3%, precision of 96.1%, sensitivity of 95.8%, and an F1 score of 95.9%.

Fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and body mass index were the variables that contributed most to the predictions. The study concludes that integrating web-based systems with classification models can support initial screening, provided the tool undergoes clinical validation, ensures personal data protection, and remains under professional supervision.

Evaluation indicators are established to assess speech recognition accuracy, usability, accessibility, performance, data protection, and the alignment of activities with therapeutic objectives.

The findings of the technological analysis identify the functional components of the application, appropriate technologies for implementation, and criteria for future technical and clinical validation. The study concludes that Linguo represents a technological innovation proposal with the potential to complement pediatric speech-language therapy, support continuity of supervised activities, and facilitate structured progress monitoring without replacing professional assessment or intervention.

Abstract

Psychological assessment is a fundamental process for understanding the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics of individuals. Currently, mental health professionals use different psychometric tests to obtain relevant information about a patient's psychological condition; however, interpreting large amounts of data can require significant time and specialized expertise.

This article proposes the development of PsychoAI Insight, an artificial intelligence-based application designed to support mental health professionals in the analysis and interpretation of psychometric assessments. The system uses machine learning techniques, data analysis, and intelligent recommendation models to identify patterns, generate clinical support reports, and suggest suitable therapist profiles according to the detected needs.

The proposed tool aims to optimize psychological evaluation processes, assist therapists in decision-making, and improve patient referral to specialized professionals while maintaining human expertise as the central element of the therapeutic process.
