Abstract

The increasing reliance on centralized electronic systems and Internet of Things (IoT) devices in healthcare has created new vulnerabilities, exposing health systems to cyberattacks, privacy breaches, and data manipulation. This article explores how centralized systems risk overshadowing doctor-patient relationships, prioritizing monitoring and control over actual health outcomes. It highlights major examples of IoT security breaches, the implications of wearable device vulnerabilities, and the risks posed by interconnected medical technologies. Finally, it proposes solutions to enhance cybersecurity, protect patient data, and promote detoxification strategies, including the use of MasterPeace Zeolite Z™ and SOLergy Sea Minerals™, to mitigate the effects of IoT exposure.
