Abstract: The integration of cutting-edge technologies into health literacy and medical practice presents unprecedented opportunities and ethical challenges. Guided by a posthumanist framework, this chapter delves into the technoethical considerations crucial for navigating this new landscape. Embracing this framework encourages us to reevaluate traditional boundaries, inviting a more inclusive understanding of humanity's relationship with technology. The chapter also explores the intricate relationship between technology and ethics, advocating for a technoethical framework that ensures technological advancements in healthcare are employed ethically, responsibly, and with a deep understanding of their societal impact. By doing so, this chapter serves as a guiding beacon for healthcare professionals, technologists, ethicists, and policymakers, urging a future where technology and human values coalesce to foster a healthcare ecosystem that is not only advanced but also compassionate, equitable, and ethically grounded.
