TITLE:

DATAFICATION TECHNOLOGIES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEOLIBERALISM IN BRAZILIAN HEALTH

PAGES: 150
BIG AREA: Ciências Humanas
AREA: Sociologia
SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates, through a dialectical examination of economics, politics, and society, how the use of digital data collection technologies, processing, analysis, and classification is linked to the deepening of capitalism in its current neoliberal stage within the Brazilian health-care sector. To address the central question of the thesis, which pertains to how this linkage has evolved in recent decades, a literature review is initially conducted on the theories of neoliberalism and its development, as well as on the emergence and evolution of digital technologies and their data-driven structures, particularly in relation to their applications in the health-care sector. Subsequently, an analysis of the historical process of the creation, development, and implementation of proposals and public policies by Brazil’s Ministry of Health (MoH) is undertaken using methods such as literature review, documentary research, and semistructured interviews. This analysis focuses on the construction of a digital health framework, which initially involves processes of sectoral digitization and computerization, followed by the application and utilization of datafication technologies. Furthermore, using the same methodologies, an examination of the perspectives of stakeholders in the Brazilian Supplemental Health Care sector, such as insurance companies, is presented regarding the use of datafication technologies within their structures and the significance of (meta)data for the advancement of the private health-care industry in Brazil. Finally, this thesis provides an organizational chart depicting the current landscape of datafication technology applications and usage in the health-care sector. It analyzes the impacts of these technologies on the field and on the Brazilian society, while also presenting the trends that are emerging in the interaction between the deepening of neoliberal capitalism and data-driven technologies.
