“…There is evidence of the effort made by the Spanish industrial sector in the implementation of the Triple Bottom Line: Social, Environmental and Financial. The results are translating into a significant change in business culture, and the benefits of incorporating SDGs into business strategies are beginning to be recognised (Verdejo et al, 2022). Szymańska and Zalewska (2021) consider education to be a key element for the implementation of EU strategies concerning the SDGs.…”

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require the implementation of 167 targets aimed at eradicating poverty, protecting the planet and improving the quality of life of humankind. The United Nations calls for uniform sustainable development at the global, local and individual levels. This research pursues a twofold objective: first, to obtain evidence on the extent to which the achievement of the (SDGs) may be uniform across territories; second, to identify the socioeconomic characteristics that contribute to sustainable development. The empirical analysis has been carried out using clustering, cross efficiency and contingency tables applied to statistical information from 101 municipalities in Spain and Italy. The results provide evidence of inequalities between territories, revealing that only in the dimensions People (SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Prosperity (SDGs 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11) has the desired homogeneity been attained. Notable differences are found in the degree of compliance with the other SDGs. Furthermore, it is shown that the socioeconomic characteristics associated with the geographical location contribute substantially to the gap between municipalities. In order to ensure countries' sustainable development, there is a need for environmental policies adapted to the specific features of each region.

“…These devices range from simple fitness trackers to advanced gadgets capable of monitoring vital signs like heart rate, blood glucose levels, and oxygen saturation. They have become instrumental in facilitating real-time health tracking and proactive management of chronic conditions (Cimperman et al, 2016;Jia et al, 2019;Verdejo et al, 2022).…”

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030. The 17 SDGs have been designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS and discrimination against women and girls. Despite the clear SDG framework, there is a significant gap in the literature to establish the alignment of systems, projects or tools with the SDGs. In this research work, we assess the SDG alignment of an activity recognition platform for healthcare systems, called ACTIVA. This new platform, designed to be deployed in environments inhabited by vulnerable people, is based on sensors and artificial intelligence, and includes a mobile application to report anomalous situations and ensure a rapid response from healthcare personnel. In this work, the ACTIVA platform and its compliance with each of the SDGs is assessed, providing a detailed evaluation of SDG 7—ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. In addition, a website is presented where the ACTIVA platform’s compliance with the 17 SDGs has been evaluated in detail. The comprehensive assessment of this novel platform’s compliance with the SDGs provides a roadmap for the evaluation of future and past systems in relation to sustainability.
