Abstract
This chapter focuses on the use of human bond communication (HBC) for health applications, in particular on the ethical and legal issues that arise. For many years, the use of ICT in medicine was limited to allowing communications between remote patients and doctors (telemedicine). In the last years, there has been a rapid evolution in the use of ICT in health. The IoT framework allows a pervasive monitoring of anything around and eventually inside us and this could really open the way to novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
