限时测试(16) 专题特训(阅读理解——推理判断) 体裁：说明文 话题：视频护理 时间：10分钟 －year－old grandmotherhome in Oceanside，near San Diego.Three or four times a day，Ilnicki talks to her grandmother via VideoCare，a video conferencing system for seniors and their family members and caregivers that was developed by a Menlo Park－based startup of the same name. February，we were talking on VideoCare and Grandma was sitting on the couch.I watched her fall over and，to be honest，I thought she'd had a mini－strokeer house.I could hear them beating on the door.”When they arrived，Ilnicki was able to explain via VideoCare what had happened，as well as discuss what medication(药物治疗) her grandmother was on.“The medical assistants were thrilled been the most amazing thing for our family.Compared with just having a phone call，talking on VideoCare makes a huge difference.” The development of VideoCare is based on a simple fact.Today's 80 and 90 year olds retired from the workforce before the Internet and smart phones were a necessity of daily living，and they are the generation least enthusiastic to explore the new technology.VideoCare's technology basically strips down the operating system to make it as simple as possible for the senior.All of the management of the device happens remotely，by the caregiver or family member. |
