The book Internet of Bodies (IoB). The Human Body, Node in the Digital Network was conceived as an interdisciplinary reference work, located at the intersection of technology, computer science, medicine, law, ethics and psychology. This work starts from the observation that digitalization is no longer just a phenomenon external to the human body, but has literally begun to penetrate our bodies. Thus, the body becomes a nodal point in a global network of data, algorithms and technological infrastructures, with profound implications for identity, privacy and personal autonomy.
The writing of this book was motivated by the acute need to understand and critically analyze the accelerated transformations generated by the Internet of Bodies (IoB), a natural but radical extension of the Internet of Things (IoT). If smart objects have redefined the interaction with external space, the IoB promises and sometimes threatens to redefine our very relationship with our own bodies. This paper comprehensively maps the phenomenon, covering theoretical foundations, emerging applications, ethical and legal risks, and future challenges.
The main objectives of the paper are:
To define and conceptually clarify the field of Internet of Bodies (IoB);
To explore the types of technologies involved and their impact on health, performance and social life;
To identify critical issues related to privacy, security, bodily autonomy and digital equity;
To outline possible evolution scenarios and directions for public policies and sustainable ethical practices;
To analyze, in depth, the applications and implications of IoB in the field of psychology, as a fundamental discipline for understanding human adaptation in the era of digital augmentation.
This book is addressed to researchers, professionals, students and decision-makers interested in critically understanding how technology shapes the human body and society as a whole. Each chapter has been designed to provide both a solid informative basis and points of reflection for further debate and research.
Special thanks go to all the contributors who contributed their expertise in ethics, psychology, and digital law. We also express our gratitude to the academic and research institutions that supported the development of this complex and ambitious project.
I hope that this work will stimulate a deep and responsible debate about the place of the human body in the digital architecture of the future and about the acceptable limits of our integration into intelligent networks.
