Abstract

This essay offers a theoeretical debate about the change in the healthcare systems, due to the technologic massive invasione that has been increasing since the last decade, and that places such a Paramount welfare's pillar into a wider social phenomenon which is described as web society. The abovementioned technological development could push citizens towards two diametrically opposite patterns: either an increment of medicalization, or a development of self-care. Currently, it seems that the discriminant point would not be the technological tool itslef, but an undergoing understanding related to health commodification, both theoretically speaking and concretely implemented by several stakeholeders of the healthcare universe. However further research for better comprehension of the matter will be necessary.
