This research addresses the impact that technologies, particularly the Internet of Things, have when facing -directly or indirectly -the current panorama of a pandemic due to COVID-19. First, we review the literature and propose a context that allows for efficient clarification regarding two concerns: where should we insert this project? What are the implications and scope of such a decision? Secondly, we present experiences of implementation of IoT prototypes, which -in context -consider the education of the population of an apartment building, the mitigation and detection of COVID-19 symptoms, and the ability to obtain data from these experiences.
This paper presents the results of a study seeking to understand users' attitudes regarding their consumption and use of the Internet, IoT devices, and related technologies. The framework of the study reviews the concept of Smart City, presents the position of Santiago (capital of Chile) within a world index of Smart Cities, and draft the status of three housing complexes located in highly vulnerable areas in Santiago in light of such an index. Further, we discuss what is missing to solve the gap between current trends and the image of Santiago as a real Smart City in Latin America.
