Digital Health and the Gamification of Life: How Apps Can Promote a Positive Medicalization
Maturo, Antonio (University of Bologna, Italy)
This book analyzes the role of health apps to promote medicalization. It considers whether their use is an individual matter, rather than a political and social one, with some apps based on a medical framework positively promoting physical activity and meditation, or whether data-sharing can foster social discrimination.
