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\u2014ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. In addition, a website is presented where the ACTIVA platform\u2019s compliance with the 17 SDGs has been evaluated in detail. The comprehensive assessment of this novel platform\u2019s compliance with the SDGs provides a roadmap for the evaluation of future and past systems in relation to sustainability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23073563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,29]],"date-time":"2023-03-29T02:03:53Z","timestamp":1680055433000},"page":"3563","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Evaluation of the Impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on an Activity Recognition Platform for Healthcare Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2583-8638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 L.","family":"L\u00f3pez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, University of Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas s\/n, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1118-7782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Macarena","family":"Espinilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, University of Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas s\/n, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7998-553X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1ngeles","family":"Verdejo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical Engineering Department, University of Ja\u00e9n, Campus Las Lagunillas s\/n, 23071 Ja\u00e9n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2023, January 28).
