Chronic pain reduces quality of life and affects patients' emotional well-being. When technologies for monitoring and reporting emotions are applied to people suffering from chronic pain, mental health problems may be detected, allowing health professionals to improve patients' treatments and understand their patients in real contexts. However, older patients with chronic pain are limited by their knowledge about technology. Our work aims to understand how to design wearable devices that allow older adults to input complex information such as pain levels and emotional states.

XXXVI Conferencia Latinoamericana en Informática (CLEI)

This article presents a bibliometric analysis aimed at mapping scientific output on gender gaps and women’s participation in STEM between 2023 and 2025. The methodology is grounded in the PRISMA model for systematic reviews and the Science Mapping Workflow for bibliometric analysis, employing tools such as Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny within the R environment. The search was conducted exclusively in the Web of Science database, retrieving a total of 2,117 records. After removing duplicates and applying thematic filtering, 1,400 articles were included in the final analysis.
Among the main findings, an annual growth rate of 56% was observed between 2023 and 2024. The most frequent keywords were gender equality, STEM education, and inclusion. The United States, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, and China led scientific production. Academic collaboration networks showed high density in Latin America, Western Europe, and East Asia. However, only 26.4% of authorship corresponded to women, highlighting persistent gender inequality. Conceptual, intellectual, and social maps revealed five thematic clusters focused on digital inclusion, higher education, and technological ethics. This study provides empirical evidence to strengthen institutional strategies that promote gender equity in technology-related fields. Furthermore, it proposes a replicable approach for assessing the evolution of gender-focused scientific agendas in Latin American contexts.
