The essays in this book clarify the technical  legal  ethical  and social aspects of the
interaction between eHealth technologies and surveillance practices. The book starts out by
presenting a theoretical framework on eHealth and surveillance  followed by an introduction to
the various ideas on eHealth and surveillance explored in the subsequent chapters. Issues
addressed in the chapters include privacy and data protection  social acceptance of eHealth 
cost-effective and innovative healthcare  as well as the privacy aspects of employee wellness
programs using eHealth  the use of mobile health app data by insurance companies  advertising
industry and law enforcement  and the ethics of Big Data use in healthcare. A closing chapter
draws on the previous content to explore the notion that people are ¿under observation¿ 
bringing together two hitherto unrelated streams of scholarship interested in observation:
eHealth and surveillance studies. In short  the book represents a first essential step towards
cross-fertilization and offers new insights into the legal  ethical and social significance of
being ¿under observation¿.
