The users that we will focus on will be people with neurodivergent diseases, specifically ADHD and autism with low spectrum, mainly so that users can tolerate the use of the device in their ears.

Statistics
It is estimated that only in Mexico, around 1.6 million boys and girls live with ADHD, but most are not diagnosed and the WHO reports that 5% of the world population suffers from ADHD. A study on the prevalence of autism has been carried out in Mexico (2016). The figure indicates that 1 in 115 children would be in this condition, and It is estimated that, worldwide, one in 100 children has autism. This estimate represents an average figure, as the observed prevalence varies considerably between different studies.
