Zusammenfassung
The term technology assessment was first used by the Subcommittee on Science, Research and Development of the House Science and Astronautics Committee of the US Congress in 1965. After hearings and discussions, the Subcommittee defined technology assessment as a comprehensive form of policy research that examines the shortand Iong-term social consequences (e. g. societal, economic, ethical, legal) of the application or use of technology. Later, beginning with reports of the Office of Technology Assessment (1976), this general definition was appfied to the health field.
