The Internet Of Bodies – Legal Implications

Nowadays we expect our TV to know which episode from our favourite series we have yet to see, or that the refrigerator writes our shopping list or that our vacuum cleaner notifies our smartphone when it has vacuumed the whole house while we were at work.

All this is possible thanks to the Internet of Things – IoT, which, simply put, is the interconnection between the Internet and the objects in our daily lives, such as our telephones, televisions, watches or vehicles.

Now that we have become used to living with gadgets invented to improve our daily lives, we will have to get used to being connected to the Internet.

This new interconnection is called the Internet of Bodies – IoB. It is already a reality. IoB are those smart devices with wifi connection or others such as bluetooth which are inside our body.
