# Epistemological and Bibliometric Analysis of Ethics and Shared Responsibility Health Policy and IoT Systems

## TL;DR

This paper analyzes the ethical and epistemological aspects of shared responsibility in healthcare policies concerning IoT systems, highlighting cyber risks, ethical concerns, and barriers to adoption in integrated healthcare environments.

## Contribution

It provides an epistemological and bibliometric analysis of ethical issues and shared responsibility in IoT healthcare systems, emphasizing cyber risks and organizational barriers.

## Key findings

- IoT introduces significant cyber risks to healthcare systems.
- Many healthcare organizations lack cyber skills and face adoption barriers.
- Ethical concerns arise from shared responsibility in cyber risk management.

## Abstract

The focus in this paper is placed on shared responsibility and ethics in health policy, specific to Internet of Things (IoT) devices in healthcare systems. The article assesses how the introduction of IoT brings risks to the security of medical systems. The justification for this research emerges from the opportunities emerging from digital technologies for medical services, but also creating a range of new cyber risks in the shared healthcare infrastructure. Such concerns are often not visible to individual departments in an integrated healthcare system. In addition, many healthcare organisations do not possess cyber skills and are faced with barriers to the adoption of smart manufacturing technologies, e.g., cost. These barriers trigger ethical concerns related to responsibility of cyber risks in shared healthcare systems.
