Due to the large number of elderly people with physical and cognitive issues, there is a strong need to provide indoor location systems that help caregivers monitor as many people as possible and with the best quality possible. In this paper, a fuzzy indoor location methodology is proposed in a smart environment based on mobile devices and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons where a set of Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI) is received by mobile devices worn by the inhabitants. The use of fuzzy logic and a fuzzy linguistic approach is proposed to deal with the imprecise nature of the RSSI values, which are influenced by external factors such as radio waves, causing significant fluctuations. A case study carried out at the Smart Lab of the University of Jaén (UJAmI Smart Lab) is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, where our proposal is compared with a non-fuzzy logic approach, obtaining an accuracy of 91.63%, approximately 10 points higher than the methodology without using fuzzy logic. Finally, our theoretical proposal is accompanied by a description of the UJAmI Location system, which applies the theory to the functionality of locating elderly people in indoor environments.

“…The SDGs adopted by the UN in 2015 provide a roadmap and ambitious plan for 17 key areas of international development and balancing the three pillars of sustainable development: social, environmental, and economic (Di Vaio & Varriale, 2020 ; Verdejo Espinosa et al, 2021 ). The 17 SDGs are interlinked and consolidated recognizing that work in one field would impact others.…”

This study is intended to afford a comprehensive overview of the implications of COVID-19 on progress toward achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) set out in the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda and the state of related research activities on COVID-19 linked to the SDGs. Bibliometric techniques and visual mapping are proposed as methodological tools to better approach the objectives of the present work. This includes: retrieving related publications from Scopus database, investigating the trends and growth trajectories of research works, and analyzing the scenarios post-COVID-19 either optimistic or pessimistic outlooks. The national and international contributions and collaboration toward this theme of research are further analyzed at countries, institutions, and sources levels. This analysis indicates that research works conducted on the impacts of COVID-19 on the achievement of the SDGs are still in the immaturity level. The global research productivity on this topic was just 160 documents (0.19% of total global research productivity in all fields of science with relevance to COVID-19). The implications of COVID-19 on good health and well-being, SDG-3, have attracted considerable attention. It is followed by SDG-13 that concerned with climate changes. The post-COVID-19 scenarios showed deep and justified worries in relation to achieving the SDGs by 2030. This study figures the major issues debated in the literature with respect to COVID-19 and its implications on the SDGs. The study, furthermore, attempts to assess the required actions to advance the SDGs post-COVID-19.

“…Sharma and Tripathi (2020) [33] deduce that the devices used in monitoring people's health are essential in developing an effective means through which their quality of life improves. Verdejo et al (2021) argue that the smart technology has been an essential factor in the healthcare sector since there are many different factors that can be used to communicate various issues regarding the patient needs [52].…”

The internet of things is becoming a new sensation in the medical and healthcare field. Healthcare is one of the sustainable development areas across different regions. This study aims at developing an analysis of Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare sector for the purposes of achieving sustainable development. The study took a direction of applied descriptive research. The methodology applied was Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). This is a single cross- section survey research. After data gathering, the agreed paired comparison matrices, allocated to weighted criteria and the priority of internet of things usage were determined. The two criteria, quality of life and economic prosperity had the highest priority for internet of things sustainable development in the healthcare system. Fall detection, dental health, and ultraviolet radiation wereamong the areas where IoT was found to be applied prominently.
