And if we want to collect health data when no one's wearing a device? Engineers at MIT have modified a WiFi-like box so it can capture vital signs and sleep patterns of several people in the same residence.

如果我們想在沒有人佩戴設(shè)備的情況下收集健康數(shù)據(jù)呢？麻省理工學(xué)院的工程師已經(jīng)研發(fā)出一種類似WiFi裝置的儀器，可捕捉在同一棟住宅中數(shù)個(gè)人的生命征象和睡眠模式。

As new sensing technologies emerge, they'll yield more biomedical data and insights -- and these can be paired with growing stores of genomic data. In combination, they'll lead us to new ways to optimize wellness, understand disease, and select the most patient-specific preventives and interventions.

當(dāng)新的感測技術(shù)出現(xiàn)，將產(chǎn)生更多關(guān)于生物醫(yī)學(xué)的數(shù)據(jù)與洞見，這些可與不斷增長的基因組數(shù)據(jù)庫結(jié)合。結(jié)合后的新數(shù)據(jù)將引導(dǎo)我們找到改善健康的新方法、了解疾病，并選擇最適合患者的預(yù)防與介入方式。

The widening array of digital tools paired with AI analytics almost certainly will boost diagnosticians' accuracy and speed, improving disease detection at early stages and thus raising the odds of successful treatment or cure. Many likely will be phone-based.

越來越多數(shù)字工具與人工智能分析結(jié)合，幾乎一定會(huì)提高診斷人員的準(zhǔn)確性和速度，改善疾病初期的偵測率，從而提高成功治療或治愈的機(jī)會(huì)。其中有許多任務(wù)可能都是安裝在手機(jī)上。

With smartphone otoscopes, parents can look in kids' ears and share the view with a pediatrician. Apps and sensors can enable a phone to take electrocardiograms to check for dangerous arrhythmias; software and a microphone can equip it to "listen" to a cough and diagnose pneumonia. To improve treatment of hypertension -- a leading risk factor associated with early death—sensors now in development would take continuous blood pressure readings (no cuff needed).

通過智能型手機(jī)的耳鏡，父母可以觀察孩子的耳朵，并與小兒科醫(yī)師分享耳道內(nèi)的影像。手機(jī)里的應(yīng)用程序和傳感器可以記錄心電圖，以檢測是否有危險(xiǎn)的心律不整；安裝軟件和麥克風(fēng)后，可用手機(jī)“聆聽”咳嗽并診斷肺炎。高血壓是早逝的主要風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因子，為了改善高血壓的療法，目前開發(fā)中的傳感器將連續(xù)記錄血壓讀數(shù)（不需要壓脈帶）。
