Abstract

Allerlei apparaten op en in het lichaam leveren, via sensoren en draadloze verbindingen, een schat aan persoonlijke gegevens op. Dit ‘Internet van Lichamen’ vereist een zorgvuldige regulering van de eigendoms- en gebruiksrechten van de gegevens.

All kinds of devices on and in the body provide a wealth of personal data via sensors and wireless connections. These data collected via the Internet of Bodies (IoB) can contribute to joie de vivre and well-being, and can also generate cost savings so that there are positive external effects. But when using the data, there are also privacy problems and negative external effects. Safeguarding these public interests requires careful regulation of property rights and of user rights of the data. For example, the designer must ensure that the internet or Bluetooth connection cannot be broken into. Restrictions on user rights should ensure that risk solidarity in healthcare is maintained. In addition, as with biometric data, the dystopia of a surveillance society must be avoided when setting up a worldwide standard for digital identity.
