Digitization of the human body, philosophically is "mating" with technology, and it represents the fusion of electronic technology with human biology, which reduces the barriers of physical, digital and biological life. The Internet of Bodies, that is the imminent development of the field of digitization of the human body on a large scale, is the inevitable future of technology at this moment. Instead of devices being connected to the Internet as in Internet of Things (IoT), human bodies can be connected to a network, with the potential to be controlled and monitored remotely and tracked for important information.

This book ties together research on the Internet of Bodies with fundamental explorations into the fields of military, education, business, and health. It is a critical resource for discussing the implementations of this new technology, the advantages and challenges, and the future outlook for it's use in different fields in a variety of ways.
