It aligns with posthumanist philosophy, which challenges narratives of human identities by emphasizing technologys role in human existence and progress. Contextually, the exemplary technological advancements in healthcare services have challenged popular belief systems nurtured by religious perspectives. It has shifted the focus of healing prayers from seeking miraculous healing to praying for reception and efficiency of treatments, thus encouraging people to embrace scientific remedies unconsciously. This chapter explores the uses of IoT sensors, devices, and procedures from a sociocultural posthumanist lens that includes Donna Haraways Cyborg Manifesto, " Katherine Hayles How We Became Posthuman, " and Bruno Latours Actor-Network Theory. It also examines the initial religious resistance to IoMT applications and their eventual success against the pastoral power fostered by religious narratives. In addition, the chapter contests the normalization of pseudoscientific faith healing as opposed to embracing scientific solutions, which can be hazardous to public health and lead to the exploitation of the ignorant masses. The chapter advocates for normalizing a progressive scientific temper that endorses and employs effective, ethical, equitable, and democratized access to scientific healthcare solutions. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Balakrishnan C, Jayapriya J, Vinay M, Sanjeev Kumar Singh, Nadarajah Manivannan individual chapters, the contributors.
