Implementing TinyML in Internet of Things devices: A systematic literature review
2026-01-22 - Solis Pino, Andrés Felipe; Moran Pizarro, Daniel Steven; Ruiz, Pablo H.; Agredo-Delgado, Vanessa; Collazos, Cesar Alberto; Moreira, Fernando
The Internet of Things is at the heart of society and is experiencing rapid expansion. Its integration with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has led to the emergence of Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML), which enables data processing directly on the device, improving efficiency, reducing latency, and increasing data privacy. Despite the growing relevance of TinyML in the Internet of Things, there is a lack of systematic literature reviews providing a holistic understanding of its implementation, advances, and challenges, which hinders a clear understanding of the available empirical evidence and best practices. To bridge this gap, this study presents a systematic literature review, adhering to the PRISMA protocol and employing a multi-database search strategy, identifying 114 primary studies. The review reveals that TinyML is consolidating as a transformative paradigm for the Internet of Things, experiencing significant research growth since 2020. Applications are diverse, with healthcare and environmental monitoring being the most notable examples. Deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks, are frequently employed in this context. The main challenges identified include security vulnerabilities, the need to address ethical considerations like algorithmic bias, and hardware limitations related to memory and processing power. Ultimately, this review offers valuable insights into the current state and prospects of TinyML in the Internet of Things, providing a valuable resource for researchers, developers, and decision-makers in this rapidly evolving field.

The Importance of E-Commerce and Customer Relationships in Times of COVID-19 Pandemic

A digital transformation in the world, the purchase of products, or possible services, is just a click away through e-commerce. The online consumer is increasingly knowledgeable and demanding. That’s why in online shopping it is important to maintain the good relationship between the company and the customer. This investigation aims to study the importance of the e-commerce in the context of a COVID-19 pandemic and relationship with customers. In terms of methodology, the questionnaire was used, with the sample consisting of 306 individuals who shopped online at least once. The results show that, since the quarantine of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the individuals have started to use e-commerce more often. Data also show a positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of the e-commerce scale and the relationship with customers. It is expected that this study will contribute to the increase in the scientific knowledge of retailers, and a better identification of products purchased online, the type of actions valued by consumers, as well as the relationship of customers with the e-commerce. This knowledge can be essential for the definition and the implementation of policies and management strategies for the e-commerce platforms that enhance better organizational results.
