Abstract: The Internet of Bodies(IoB) refers to an embodied technology that treats the physical body as a network interface and embeds technological objects into the human body,aiming to colect massive body data. As an emerging technology,the widespread application of IoB in the field of smart healthcare willbring both advantages and disadvantages. It poses ethical risks in terms of physicality,psychology,and sociability, primarily manifested in the uncertainty of technology that may harm patients’bodies,the easy restriction of patients’autonomy by external technologies,and issues of fairnessand equality caused by the technology gap. Faced with the realistic ethical dilemmas arising from IoB technology empowering smart healthcare,solutions were proposed across several levels.On the ethical mechanism level,an interdisciplinary and multi-field expert allance should be established to promote the optimization of ethical governance mechanisms.In terms of ethical governance methods,a governance strategy prioritizing“pre-control” should be adopted to front-load ethical risks.On thepracticalapplicationlevel,it was vital to clarify the reasonable application boundariesof technology in practiceand integrate ethical morality into technologyapplication behavior.Regarding social justice in technology resources,a dual approach of strengthening grasroots investment and educational guidance should be implemented to ensure ethical justice and accessibility in medical practice,thereby guiding the development of IoB technology to align with the fundamental principles of bioethics.
