The essays in this book clarify the technical, legal, ethical, and
social aspects of the interaction between eHealth technologies and
surveillance practices. The book starts out by presenting a
theoretical framework on eHealth and surveillance, followed by an
introduction to the various ideas on eHealth and surveillance
explored in the subsequent chapters. Issues addressed in the
chapters include privacy and data protection, social acceptance of
eHealth, cost-effective and innovative healthcare, as well as the
privacy aspects of employee wellness programs using eHealth, the
use of mobile health app data by insurance companies, advertising
industry and law enforcement, and the ethics of Big Data use in
healthcare. A closing chapter draws on the previous content to
explore the notion that people are 'under observation', bringing
together two hitherto unrelated streams of scholarship interested
in observation: eHealth and surveillance studies. In short, the
book represents a first essential step towards cross-fertilization
and offers new insights into the legal, ethical and social
significance of being 'under observation'.
