3.获取数据来改善结果
Data is critical for improving our understanding of disease and illness.
数据对于提高我们对疾病的理解至关重要。
The more we understand, the better the chances of preventing, diagnosing, and curing.
我们了解得越多，预防、诊断和治疗的机会就越大。
But currently,only about 5% of medical data is used effectively
但是现在 只有5％左右的医疗数据得到了有效利用
We had a problem of generating so much data,
我们的问题在于产生的数据太多
Terabytes（万亿字节） of data for each person,
每位患者都会产生万亿字节的数据量
but we didn’t have a way to analyze it.
但我们却没有好好分析数据的方法
We didn’t have a way to extract(v. 提取，提炼) the juice,the distillate(n. 馏出物，馏出液) of this.
就像找不到提纯果汁的方法一样,过去我们无法提取关键信息
Now we do,and that’s what artificial intelligence is really about.
但现在有办法了 就是让人工智能来做这些事情
Harnessed to wireless devices,AI could oversee(vt. 监督；审查) every facet(方面) of people’s health data,
人工智能可以利用无线设备监管人们各方面的健康数据
from family history to food intake（n. 摄取量） to exercise.
从家族病史到摄取何种食物 再到锻炼行为
People will have the opportunity to have this real,integrated（adj. 综合的；完整的） view of themselves
人们将有机会获得属于自己的真实的综合报告
to help prevent（vt. 预防，防止） illness, to help guide them for better management of conditions.
这个报告能帮助他们预防疾病指导他们获得更好的健康状况管理
Over time,we’ll see this virtual coach for promoting(促进；提升) health.
随着时间的进展我们将看到能提高健康水平的“虚拟教练”
Constant（adj. 不变的；经常的） AI monitoring（n. 监视） could transform the most prolific（adj. 多产的；丰富的） diseases that demand the most care, such as diabetes（n. 糖尿病）.
持续的人工智能监控可以改变那些需要大量护理的最常见疾病，比如糖尿病。
This would empower（vt. 授权，允许；使能够） people to take charge of（接管，负责） their own health.
它让人们能够管理自己的健康情况
Another way that AI will kick in over time（随着时间的推移） is to get rid of hospital rooms
随着时代发展 人工智能可以实现另一个作用让诊疗摆脱医院病房
We can monitor patients in the comfort of their own home,
我们可以在病人舒适的家中监控他们，
because they can have the sensors that would provide the same type of monitoring as if（犹如，好似） someone was in the intensive care unit（重症监护病房）
因为他们可以拥有传感器，可以提供与重症监护病房相同类型的监测。
Caring for people outside of medical settings
在医疗机构外照顾病人
would not only prevent hospital-acquired disease,it could also save money.
不仅可以预防被医院里的疾病感染还可以省钱
All these things favor this shift of reliance on a patient’s bedroom,rather than the hospital room.
把关注重点从病房转移到病人的卧室这些设想都能够实现
We’re talking about a whole lot of people that don’t need to be employed in the hospital setting;
我们设想的这种情景下医院将不再需要那么多员工
that is a great way to reduce the burden（负担） in the future.
对于减少未来的负担 这的确是个好办法
In the United States a hospital costs $5,000 a night,
在美国 每间病房每晚要5000美元
so you could get a lot of data plans that would go for years for that cost.
省下的这笔钱足够用来做很多年的数据研究了
If the clinical community stands up for patients
如果临床团队全力支持病人
and say all the power, efficiency, productivity,workflow(n. 工作流) from AI
人工智能也能同时贡献一切力量 提升效率和产值
is going to be used to give the gift of time to doctors and nurses and patients,
省下来的时间就可以造福医生 护士和病患
That’s where we flip(翻转；颠覆 ) this thing and achieve a rescue mission for healthcare.
这样就可以彻底颠覆目前的医疗现状 解决问题
