We live in complex times in the health, social, political, and energy spheres, and we must be aware of and implement new trends in intelligent social health systems powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). Sustainable development, energy efficiency, and public health are interrelated parameters that can transform a system or an environment for the benefit of people and the planet. The integration of sensors and smart devices should promote energy efficiency and ensure that sustainable development goals are met. This work is carried out according to a mixed approach, with a literature review and an analysis of the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on the applications of the Internet of Things and smart systems. In the analysis of results, the following questions are answered about these systems and applications: (a) Are IoT applications key to the improvement of people’s health and the environment? (b) Are there research and case studies implemented in cities or territories that demonstrate the effectiveness of IoT applications and their benefits to public health? (c) What sustainable development indicators and objectives can be assessed in the applications and projects analyzed?

Abstract To date, there is a need to improve the energy efficiency of Russian industry, which is due to the main aspects of the state of domestic energy. World experience demonstrates that it is. Among such tools, automated control systems can be distinguished, which allow for accurate and fast monitoring of energy consumption, as a result of which the reliability of accounting becomes higher, energy costs are optimized. Accounting for energy resources is a strategically important task, on which the economy of any country directly depends. Currently, energy occupies a central place in the efforts of the international community to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which is related to ensuring international energy security. Currently, energy occupies a central place in the efforts of the international community to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which is related to ensuring international energy security. The strategic guidelines for improving energy efficiency are the directions of development of digitalization mechanisms and optimization of the functioning of environmental policy in the energy sector. Digitalization and automation of production processes is one of the most effective tools for changing the current situation.
