互聯智能時代：標準化醫療

　　在電子監控進展是革命性的醫療保健，但真正的好處不到這些新設備可以無縫連接到。

　　你能想象一個沒有手機、互聯網或筆記本電腦的世界嗎？如何將我們的世界是不同的？

　　數十億的電子郵件發送每日。每天都有成千上萬的電腦在使用。你家里有多少手機？為了使事情更令人興奮，許多以前沒有連接的設備都被“插入”：冰箱、電視機、相框、烤箱、洗衣機和醫療設備。

　　What is the value of connecting healthcare devices？

　　You might ask yourself， “Why would we want to connect medical devices？” Picture an elderly person resting at home after years of hard work. Suddenly， that person receives an appointment reminder from their mobile phone indicating that they are to perform a routine health check. The person goes to their living room where a small， easy-to-use， portable blood pressure monitor assists in executing the test. The data is transmitted automatically to the preferred health repository where an algorithm is executed to evaluate the patient‘s status. There is no need to call the physician. In other cases， the automated diagnosis could set up a patient-physician video conference for further evaluation. As you can probably already imagine， the technology is available to do this now.
