Pascale Lehoux brings a fresh perspective on the use and dissemination of health technology by examining what technology does and what humans expect out of it. Drawing on two established interdisciplinary fields - Health Technology and Assessment (HTA) and Science and Technology Studies (STS), Lehoux develops an alternative framework to think about the implications of health technology. This timely and significant text will appeal to scholars and researchers of health studies and medical sociology.
Health technology is a pivotal locus of change and controversy in health care systems, and The Problem of Health Technology offers a comprehensive and novel analysis of the topic. The book illuminates the scientific and policy arguments that are currently deployed in industrialized countries by addressing the perspectives of clinicians, health care managers, scholars, policymakers, patients, and industry. And by establishing a dialogue between two interdisciplinary fields--Health Technology Assessment and Science and Technology Studies--Pascale Lehoux argues for re-centering the debate around social and political questions rather than questions of affordability, thereby developing an alternative framework for thinking about the implications of health technology.
