Hacia una concepción teórico metodológica de Tecnología de la Salud (I)
Keywords:
innovación, tecnología, tecnologías de la saludAbstract
El presente artículo se encamina hacia la conformación de un paradigma convergente con las respuestas que desde la ciencia se le dan a los procesos donde están involucrados las tecnologías de la salud y que, en el propio acierto y desacierto epistémico de sus construcciones teóricas, han devenido en oportunidades para perfilar, desde lo teórico y lo metodológico, una concepción auténtica de los que son estas tecnologías. En él, se revela la coherencia lógica interna que se infiere a partir del reconocimiento de los acuerdos y consensos que alcanza el pensamiento colectivo de los profesionales de la salud encargados de las tecnologías y constituye puente socializador para nuestra comunidad científica, ya que se muestra el camino tomado por los autores y el resto de especialistas de la Facultad de Tecnología de la Salud (FATESA) para agrupar y sistematizar los esfuerzos científicos y resultados en la definición de qué es Tecnología de la Salud con vista al necesario posicionamiento de una cultura tecnológica y de innovación, que trascienda en los niveles de salud y de calidad de vida.
ABSTRACT
The present article is oriented to the conformation of a convergent paradigm based on the attained results as well as the processes in which Health Technology is involed. Thus, the epistemiological approval and disapproval of its theoretical backgrounds has offered opportunities to profile from the theoretical- methodological level, an authentic conception of this branch of health. The study highlights the logical internal coherence that can be infered from the health professionals´recognition of the agreements and consensus revealed during the research. Besides, it constitutes a reference source for our researchers because it does not only shows authors and specialist`viewpoints on the topic, but also helps gather and systematize the scientific efforts and achievements to define the term: Health Technology, with the purpose of creating a technological and innovation culture beyond the health standars and life quality.
Key words: innovation, technology, health technology.
