Abstract
Hobbes' Leviathan symbolizes state sovereignty. In public health, this concept now extends to the prevention and promotion of health and the fight against non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This article explores the evolution towards an i-Leviathan, utilizing health data for more effective health surveillance. Precision public health, grounded in a personalized law approach, relies on the collection, availability, and use of these health data. This article analyzes the legal challenges of this precision, such as stigmatization, discrimination, and repression. It addresses the balance between public interests and individual freedoms, outlining state measures to monitor, control, and discipline healthy individuals.
