HYPERCONNECTION IN THE AGE OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE TECHNOLOGIES: RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HEALTH, DATA PRIVACY, AND EDUCATION

Abstract

The objective of this essay is to problematize the healthy lifestyle technologies universe beyond the uses and implications at the individual level, revealing ethical-structural implications specific to the logic of platformization. The Actor-Network theory is used, in addition to concepts such as platformization and datafication to shed light on a specific case of application of digital technology as an illustration of a broader movement. In the end, four resistance strategies are suggested for the area of Physical Education in the face of the hyperexposure of subjects using such applications.
