-> Mobile devices are increasingly being used to measure and monitor health and body functions. This is fuelled by a trend towards self- optimisation and increased efficiency.-> Such tracking devices can contribute to greater autonomy and allow more independence outside of traditional institutions.-> At the same time, they can also lead to continuous surveillance and heteronomy. Consequently, health apps should be used with caution.-> Government and politicians should ensure appropriate legal frameworks and support fundamental rights-friendly technology.Authors: Astrid Mager, Katja Mayer
