Wearable tech aids stroke patients 可穿戴“电子皮肤”助中风病人康复 本集内容 Wearable tech aids stroke patients 可穿戴“电子皮肤”助中风病人康复 学习要点 有关“health 健康”的词汇 边看边答 What was the challenge for the scientists when creating the device which monitors the patient's recovery? Technology you can wear. Skin displays developed by Japanese researchers that show your vital signs. It's to put on patients, so that doctors can monitor their progress. The displays are among a new wave of wearable electronics finding medical applications. In the US, Lizzy McAninch had a stroketwo years ago. She couldn't move or speak or swallow for several weeks. Lizzy is testing out wearable sensors that might speed her recovery. They send information wirelessly to the medical team. The doctors here can continuously monitor Lizzy, wherever she goes using these devices. They can follow her muscle activity, her heart rate, even her speech - track whether she's showing signs of improvement. Kristen Hohl, Physiotherapist Do we see that they're walking more at home or do we see that they’re engaging in conversations? Those are the types of things I can get feedback from the sensors, where currently I only have their report. The challenge for the scientists was to pack a lot of electronics into a small flexible material. |
