Abstract
Las aplicaciones móviles para personas sordas les permiten superar barreras comunicativas. La investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las principales producciones científicas sobre aplicaciones móviles diseñadas para mejorar la comunicación y accesibilidad de las personas con discapacidad auditiva. Mediante un análisis bibliométrico descriptivo, se examinaron 84 publicaciones indexadas en Scopus, publicados entre 2003 y 2024. Los resultados evidencian un incremento del 94,05 % en la producción científica desde 2016. Malasia, India y Estados Unidos lideran la producción científica, mientras que las Ciencias de la Computación (30 %) e Ingeniería (20 %) dominan las áreas temáticas. Las revistas International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies y Assistive Technology son las más relevantes, con cinco publicaciones cada una. Se concluye que las aplicaciones móviles han demostrado ser herramientas clave para mejorar la comunicación, la educación y la inclusión social, aunque se requiere mayor enfoque en diseños centrados en el usuario y evaluaciones de usabilidad.
