Abstract

This study highlights ethical, security, and privacy barriers to IoMT adoption in developing countries and proposes strategies like regulatory frameworks, data encryption, AI transparency, and professional training to address these challenges. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling real-time patient monitoring, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and supporting personalized treatments. However, significant privacy, security, and ethical challenges hinder its widespread adoption, particularly in underdeveloped nations. This study employs the PRISMA methodology to systematically review existing literature and identify key barriers to IoMT implementation in healthcare systems, with a focus on developing countries. Through a rigorous selection process, 80 studies were included in the analysis, revealing critical challenges such as inadequate data protection frameworks, ethical concerns around artificial intelligence (AI) in decision-making, and risks of patient data exploitation. The findings provide actionable recommendations for policymakers, including the establishment of robust ethical guidelines, implementation of strong security measures, and use of advanced encryption techniques. Addressing these challenges is crucial to fostering the ethical and secure adoption of IoMT, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes globally Key recommendations for IoMT adoption include the implementation of advanced encryption techniques to safeguard patient data, the establishment of clear informed consent protocols, and the development of ethical guidelines to manage AI’s role in medical decision-making, ensuring transparency and patient autonomy.

Abstract

This research explores the influence of social media on the decision-making mechanisms of Generation Z, particularly in the context of political engagement and voting behavior. With social media platforms becoming increasingly central to how Gen-Z interacts with information, this study investigates the frequency and patterns of social media use among university students in Botswana, focusing on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. A mixed-methods approach, incorporating both surveys and interviews, was employed to gather data from 345 participants at the University of Botswana. Findings reveal that a significant proportion of Gen-Z students encounter political content regularly on social media, with Facebook being the most frequently used platform for political engagement. The study highlights the role of social media in shaping political opinions, with many respondents indicating that their voting decisions were influenced by online interactions and content. However, concerns about misinformation and the reliability of sources were prevalent. The results provide insights into how social media platforms are increasingly integrated into Gen-Z’s decision-making processes, offering valuable implications for educators, marketers, and policymakers in Botswana. This research contributes to understanding the broader impact of social media on youth engagement in the political sphere and lays the groundwork for further studies on digital influence in African contexts.

Abstract

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in higher education presents significant opportunities to enhance learning experiences and institutional operations. However, the adoption and effective utilization of IoT technologies among Generation Z (Gen Z) students in Botswana's higher education sector remain underexplored. This study investigates the factors influencing IoT adoption and usability among Gen-Z students in Botswana's higher education institutions, with a specific focus on the role of social media in shaping perceptions and decision-making processes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected quantitative data through surveys from one hundred participants and qualitative insights through semi-structured interviews with twenty participants. Quantitative analysis revealed that entertainment and information gathering are primary motives for social media engagement, while trust in online content varies across demographics, and encounters with misinformation are common. Qualitative findings highlighted the role of peer validation and algorithm-driven content in shaping opinions. The findings reveal that social media significantly influences students’ awareness, trust, and attitudes toward IoT technologies, with exposure to misinformation and peer validation playing critical roles. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of digital literacy and ethical content moderation in fostering responsible IoT engagement. The results underscore the need for targeted strategies to promote IoT acceptance and digital literacy, ultimately enhancing the quality and effectiveness of technology-enabled learning in Botswana’s higher education sector. This research provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and technology developers aiming to facilitate the responsible integration of IoT in higher education.
