Smart Watches Can Flag Illness? 智慧手錶能預警你的健康？ Smart watches and similar portable devices are commonly used for measuring steps and physiological parameters, but have not generally been used to detect illness. Stanford researchers found that smart watches and other biosensor devices can help flag when people have colds and even signal the onset of complex conditions like Lyme disease and diabetes. 智慧手錶及類似的可攜裝置通常用於計步及記錄生理參數，但尚未廣泛地被運用於檢測疾病。史丹福大學的研究人員發現，智慧手錶及其他生物感測器裝置可以幫助預警感冒初期，甚至複雜的疾病也可以，像是萊姆病及糖尿病。 “We want to tell when people are healthy and also catch illnesses at their earliest stages,” said Michael Snyder, PhD, Professor and Chair of Genetics at Stanford and senior author of the study. Snyder’s team took advantage of the ease of using wearable devices to collect a myriad of measurements from participants for up to two years. They detected deviations from their normal baseline for measurements such as heart rate and skin temperature. 史丹福大學的遺傳學系教授兼系主任史奈德博士說：「我們希望能夠知道是否健康，也希望能在疾病的最初期就發現。」他是這項研究的主要作者。史奈德博士的團隊利用穿戴型裝置的方便性，以長達2年的時間大量收集參與者的測量數據。研究團隊從參與者的正常測量數據，像是心率及皮膚溫度的數據中測出偏差數值。 Because the devices continuously follow these measures, they potentially provide rapid means to detect the onset of disease that change your physiology. Many of these deviations coincided with times when people became ill. Heart rate and skin temperature tends to rise when people become ill, said Snyder. This research paves the way for the smart watch to serve as a health dashboard, monitoring health and sensing early signs of illness. 因為這些裝置持續地追蹤這些標準值，因此能夠提供最即時的方式以檢測到改變我們生理的疾病初期。多數的偏差數值與參與者開始生病的時間相符。史奈德博士說：「當人開始生病，心率及皮膚的溫度往往會升高。」智慧手錶有望成為監測健康及警示疾病初期的健康儀表板，而這項研究正為此鋪路。 |
