Women, Health, and Medical Technology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
New medical technologies are often developed and diffused in health care without societal assessments or setting of priorities. This article discusses the driving forces behind the development of new technologies and asks how women as users and providers of health services can gain influence on the process. Technologies used in pregnancy and childbirth are discussed to reveal different interests in their development and use and to discuss the role of industry in the development of new medical technologies in general.
