7 Conclusions: Requirements for ICT implementation
and integration with the SSC platform

The analysis in the previous sections indicates that the following (Figure 9) ICT infrastructure, based
in the Reference framework of a smart city platform Recommendation ITU-T Y.4201 (02/18), is
engaged in the implementation of the proposed smart public health framework:

1. City IoT infrastructure: This includes cameras, environmental sensors, new types of sensors (e.g.,
for sewage analysis) and biosensors. It collects information from the urban space (process step
1.2.4 and process step 2.2.2 in Figure 6) and feeds into the public health threat analysis system
(process step 1.4 e.g., the SIR functions) and the crisis curves (process step 2.2.1).

2. City Apps: These collect information from the community (outbreak tracing; public space use
etc.) and submits location-based notifications (e.g., to the Corona App) (process steps 1.2.5,
1.2.6 and 2.2.5).

3. City dashboard and public website: They visualize outbreak data and other indices that measure
the size of the crisis, while a central point of access by the public is launched to post information
for public consumption (e.g., guidelines) (process steps 2.1.1 and 2.2.3).

4. Smart services: This involves ICT-based services (custom-triggered, AI-based etc.) that generate
alerts when needed (e.g., call the social or the security services in the city to respond to an
incident), which can be location-based or focused on specific groups (e.g., social services to
elderly people to avoid visiting specific areas) (process steps 2.2.6 and 2.3.1).
