To conclude this overview of digital communication in health from the point of view of ICS, we would like to reiterate that the digital is itself considered a major health issue, especially at work [BOU 15a]. The idea here could be similar to the perspectives opened up by Bernard Stiegler in his pharmacology of the digital world [STI 06], where online practices are both a remedy for many informational and relational deficiencies, as well as a social poison. The aim here is to understand the psycho-sociological risks linked in particular to what we could define as “connective burn-out”. Some researchers in the field therefore favor the term techno-sociological risks (TSR) such as

all the physical and psychological disorders incurred by an employee, as soon as he or she becomes part of a work situation where information and communication technologies (ICT) play a central role in the accomplishment of his or her missions. [OLI 19]

In the case of a strong dematerialization of the activity in what is commonly today called digital labor [CAR 15], workers, whether they are members of the “pronetariat” according to the terminology of the futurologist Joël de Rosnay [DER 06] or representatives of a hyper-connected management [CAR 17a, CAR 19], suffer from the impossibility of extracting themselves from the platformized digital pressure (e.g. in the case of self-employed workers who have been uberized and enslaved by the uninterrupted process of online orders) or managerial (e.g. the obligation for a community manager to remain on the lookout for posts that negatively affect the image of his or her employer on social networks) [HAS 19].
