Watan: It is expected that the global "IOT" market in the field of health care will grow to 446.52 billion dollars by 2028, according to the "Fortune Business Insights" platform recently.
The Internet of Bodies is an integral part of the Internet of Things;It helped the emergence and development of this new term. The presence of many devices specially prepared for the human body, such as devices used to monitor physical fitness such as hand watches, heart rate monitoring, blood pressure measuring devices, and microscopic drums planted in the body to monitor the work of the digestive system, brain stimulation devices, and othersMany tools and devices specifically designed to monitor the movement of the human body and its performance, which is dealt with as a monitoring and recreational computer system.
And the Internet of objects - with a definition that is going to - is the link between the devices inside and around the human body by providing a safe connection between them, and this communication transmits extremely important information and data about the condition of the human body and its current and future health, which contributes to the treatment of many diseases or predicting their occurrence before they occur,In addition to following up and diagnosing them immediately and with extreme accuracy, as mentioned by the IOT IOT ALL platform recently.
These floods flowing from data from everything - starting from diets to social interactions - can help improve preventive health care, increase employee productivity, and encourage people to become active participants in maintaining their health and the health of their community.
And the artificial pancreas, for example, can automate and regulate insulin doses for diabetics. It can also give "Brain-Compater Interfaces" amputated toxins the ability to control the artificial extremities through their minds, and smart diapers can alert parents via a special application whenTheir little child needs change.
But despite its ability to revolutionize almost everything in improving our lives, health and ways of living, the Internet Internet can put our most private personal information at risk, but can threaten our life itself with death.
The Wild West has recently revealed a study - leased by the Rand Foundation (Rand) - that this type of technology has the ability to improve human life in countless ways, but it also contains many risks as the study called for the need for firm legal policies and legislation to regulate the work of this technology,Even glorify from the positive side and reduce the risks and negatives that it can occur.
"When it comes to organizing the work of the bodies and the possibilities he possesses, it is the wild West," said Mary Lee, a mathematician at the institution and the main author of the study..
"There are many benefits of these technologies, which some consider to be greater than being slowed down because of politics, but we need a greater discussion about the cost of these benefits, and how we can avoid some risks completely.".
"Huge amounts of data are collected, and the regulations of this data are really vague..There is not a lot of clarity about who has this data, how it is used, and even for those who can be sold..
Mary's mathematician Mary Lee and her colleagues studied the risks that the Internet of Things can pose across 3 areas: data privacy, cybersecurity, and ethics.
The peculiarity of data, the Internet -used internet devices - which are still under development - can track, record and store the places of users and their physical functions, and what they see and hear and even what they think about, and according to researchers at the Rand Foundation, there are many questions that have not been resolved about who has access authorityTo these data, and how they can use it.
The data collection process can pose a latent threat to privacy, depending on what is collected, and the number of times collected, and if users have submitted prior approval of this process, and if they can easily cancel the subscription or prevent companies from selling their data.
In this context, Mary Lee said, "There is a mixture of regulations in the United States, for example, making it unclear how safely these devices are...There are no national regulations on data brokers, and therefore these brokers may be able to sell your information to external parties, which then can create a profile for you, based on those data sold ".
For example, modern -cultivated heart attack devices can provide continuous information about patient fluctuations in patients, and these devices can also regulate the heart rate in patients, and can help in treating heart failure, as these devices are planted in the chest with insulating wiresConnect to the heart, and the transmission device in the patient's home is transferred wirelessly to the doctor or hospital.
But it is also possible to use these devices to spy on the patient and use these data against him in the courts, as happened in one of the famous American cases that occurred with one of the heart patients who were accused of his home fire in the hope of insurance. In that case, the data from the cardiac system was used.The cultivated in the accused's chest for his conviction in court.
Security risks can be subject to body Internet devices subject to the same security defects faced by the Internet of Things, or any other technology that stores information in the cloud, but due to the nature of the bodybuilders and data that they collect, the risks are much greater, as security gaps can allow the unauthorized partiesIt has a leakage of private information, tampering with data, or preventing users from accessing their accounts.
In the case of some cultivated medical devices, pirates can manipulate devices to cause serious physical injuries that may reach death, and the national security of the countries is also a source of concern, as it is possible through these devices to collect data on leaders and leaders of the cultivated countries of these devices in their bodies, and use them against themOr knowing their whereabouts with extreme accuracy, in preparation for their liquidation or targeting them with terrorist operations.
Medical bracelets, watches and smart phone applications can also follow steps, heart rate, sleep patterns and other physical data, such as the rate of alcohol consumption, and many devices also provide easy -to -use analyzes, which gives individuals a more comprehensive vision of their health, and may help users to identify potential health problems and search for themIn advance, and avoid it before it happens.
However, the size of the personal data collected by these devices, security weaknesses, and the possibility of an error on the part of the user may create problems that cannot be imagined how serious they are, as companies, infiltrators and even foreign opponents can exploit user data to achieve financial or political gains.
Digital pills in 2017, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed to the first digital tablet equipped with compact sensors that recorded that the drug was taken on time, and these pills succeeded in treating schizophrenia and depression and some other mental and neurological disorders, which are cases in which it isPatients ’commitment to treatment at the date is very important to prevent relapse.
Patients can grant care and doctors access to this information through a special portal on the Internet, as this helps health care providers to ensure that patients adhere to their treatment plans, but this comes at the expense of exposing health care providers networks to piracy and electronic attacks.
The data collected by digital pills also helps insurance companies to monitor the extent of patients ’commitment to take their medications, and reject the financial coverage of those who do not follow their career, accurately described..
Ethical concerns are the risks of privacy and safety in essence, ethical issues for individuals whose data are penetrated, but body Internet raises more moral concerns, including inequality between humans and the threats of personal independence..
There are many people who do not have health insurance or even the ability to access the Internet, or they do not have the money needed to buy these devices to treat themselves, and this means that the benefits of this technology will be confined to the rich people only.
There are billions of dollars that are wealthy, such as Amazon, Jeff Bezos, and Tesla President (Tesla), Elon Musk, in startups or to finance scientific and medical research aimed at "piracy" of the human body by dealing with it as a system A computer can be changed, as it is seen for various diseases, pyramids, and even death as a fabricated imbalance, and the results of this research and applications that are produced will be limited to these rich people who seek to prolong their ages, and renew their biological devices whenever they are damaged at a time when millions of people do not find The price of treatment is valid or chronic diseases that affected their suffering.
And because this technology is still in its infancy, there are still many basic questions about whether individuals have their personal data or have the right to cancel the subscription to collecting data or ensure that these data and information against them are not used in the future, especially by countries and regimes, especially inAuthoritarian countries.
