Resumo: The relationships between health and socioeconomic development are diverse. These relationships find in the health economic complex a privileged ground for expression. The importance of health technologies increased exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, affecting health systems in terms of both, quality of care and economic aspects. In fact, the predominant model of care is based on fragmented, symptomatic therapy practices that encourages the use of products and services and promotes a passive participation of users rather than humanization of care. Overcoming this model requires changes in the health technology standards which, in turn, require changes in the technology standard of society. The critical theory of technology helps to understand the evolution of the industrial civilization. It enriches the discussion by suggesting the health economic complex be more sensibly adjusted to the requirements of comprehensive health care, and to inclusive and sustainable development.

Estas relaciones tienen el complejo económico de la salud como el espacio privilegiado de su expresión. La importancia de las tecnologías de salud aumentó exponencialmente desde mediados del siglo XX, con efectos sobre los sistemas de salud, tanto en la calidad de la atención, como en aspectos económicos. En realidad, predomina un modelo de atención caracterizado por prácticas fragmentadas, que enfatizan tratamientos sintomáticos, estimulan el consumismo de productos y servicios, y promueven, en vez de la humanización, una participación pasiva de los usuarios. La superación de ese modelo pasa por el cambio del padrón tecnológico de la salud, que, a su vez, exige la transformación del padrón tecnológico de la sociedad. La teoría crítica de la tecnología ayuda a comprender la evolución de la civilización industrial. Enriquece el debate, sugiriendo una conformación del complejo económico de la salud más sensible a las exigencias de la atención integral a la salud y del desarrollo inclusivo y sostenible.As relações entre a saúde e o desenvolvimento socioeconômico são múltiplas.
