Does anybody know when the stethoscope was invented?
0
0
5000
有人知道聽診器是什麼時候發明的嗎?
00:20
Any guesses? 1816.
1
5000
3000
猜猜看? 答案是1816年。
00:23
And what I can say is, in 2016,
2
8000
3000
我預測到2016年，
00:26
doctors aren't going to be walking around with stethoscopes.
3
11000
2000
醫生就不會再帶聽診器了。
00:28
There's a whole lot better technology coming,
4
13000
2000
未來科技將更加精良，
00:30
and that's part of the change in medicine.
5
15000
3000
醫療科技的變革亦然。
00:33
What has changed our society
6
18000
3000
在過去，無線設備
00:36
has been wireless devices.
7
21000
2000
改變了我們的社會，
00:38
But the future are digital medical wireless devices, OK?
8
23000
5000
而未來，數位醫療無線設備是必然趨勢。
00:43
So, let me give you some examples of this
9
28000
2000
我可以用一些例子
00:45
to kind of make this much more concrete.
10
30000
3000
來具體說明。
00:48
This is the first one. This is an electrocardiogram.
11
33000
3000
首先，這是一張心電圖。
00:51
And, as a cardiologist, to think that you could see in real time
12
36000
3000
身為一位心臟專科醫師，試想不論在世上任何地方，
00:54
a patient, an individual, anywhere in the world
13
39000
3000
你都能在第一時間，用智慧型手機，
00:57
on your smartphone,
14
42000
2000
判讀病患的心電圖，
00:59
watching your rhythm -- that's incredible,
15
44000
2000
這是多麼不可思議，
01:01
and it's with us today.
16
46000
2000
今天我們辦到了，
01:03
But that's just the beginning.
17
48000
3000
但這只是個開始。
01:06
You check your email while you're sitting here.
18
51000
3000
坐在這裡的同時你也在檢查電子郵件，
01:09
In the future you're going to be checking all your vital signs,
19
54000
4000
未來你可以檢查你的生命徵象，
01:13
all your vital signs: your heart rhythm,
20
58000
2000
所有生命徵象，包括心跳、
01:15
your blood pressure, your oxygen, your temperature, etc.
21
60000
4000
血壓、血氧量及體溫等等。
01:19
This is already available today.
22
64000
2000
這些數據現在垂手可得。
01:21
This is AirStrip Technologies.
23
66000
2000
這是遠端醫療監測服務(AirStrip Technologies公司提供)。
01:23
It's now wired -- or I should say, wireless --
24
68000
4000
目前是有線的，如果從彙集醫院，
01:27
by taking the aggregate of these signals
25
72000
2000
加護病房裡的訊號，
01:29
in the hospital, in the intensive care unit,
26
74000
2000
再匯入醫生的智慧型手機這一點來看，
01:31
and putting it on a smartphone for physicians.
27
76000
3000
那我應該說它是無線的。
01:34
If you're an expectant parent,
28
79000
2000
如果你即將為人父母，
01:36
what about the ability to monitor, continuously,
29
81000
3000
要是能夠持續觀察監測
01:39
fetal heart rate, or intrauterine contractions,
30
84000
3000
胎兒的心跳或子宮收縮，
01:42
and not having to worry so much that things are
31
87000
3000
不用太過擔心懷孕的過程，
01:45
fine as the pregnancy,
32
90000
2000
一直到生產的那天，
01:47
and moving over into the time of delivery?
33
92000
3000
那會如何呢?
01:50
And then as we go further,
34
95000
3000
我們再來看看，
01:53
today we have continuous glucose sensors.
35
98000
2000
現有的連續式血糖感應器，
01:55
Right now, they are under the skin,
36
100000
2000
目前是植入在皮膚底下的。
01:57
but in the future, they won't have to be implanted.
37
102000
4000
但是未來不再需要植入體內了。
02:01
And of course, the desired range -- trying to keep glucose
38
106000
2000
理想的狀況是把血糖值控制在
02:03
between 75 and less than 200,
39
108000
4000
75 到 200 之間，
02:07
checking it every five minutes in a continuous glucose sensor --
40
112000
3000
每五分鐘檢查一次血糖感應器。
02:10
you'll see how that can impact diabetes.
41
115000
2000
可以想見這對糖尿病患影響有多大。
02:12
And what about sleep?
42
117000
2000
那麼在睡眠方面呢?
02:14
We're going to zoom in on that a little bit.
43
119000
2000
現在來稍微深入看看睡眠。
02:16
We're supposed to spend a third of our life in sleep.
44
121000
2000
我們一生中有三分之一都在睡覺，
02:18
What if, on your phone,
45
123000
2000
要是接下來的幾個禮拜
02:20
which will be available in the next few weeks,
46
125000
2000
你每分鐘的睡眠狀況
02:22
you had every minute of your sleep displayed?
47
127000
3000
都可以顯示在手機上呢?
02:25
And this is, of course, as you can see, the awake is the orange.
48
130000
3000
如您所見，橘色代表清醒狀態。
02:28
The REM sleep, rapid eye movement,
49
133000
2000
綠色是REM，快速動眼期，
02:30
dream state, is in light green;
50
135000
2000
也就是夢發生的時期。
02:32
and light is gray, light sleep;
51
137000
2000
灰色是淺眠期。
02:34
and deep sleep, the best restorative sleep,
52
139000
2000
還有，最有助於恢復精神的深眠期
02:36
is that dark green.
53
141000
2000
是深綠色。
02:38
How about counting every calorie?
54
143000
2000
那麼，計算卡路里呢?
02:40
And this is ability, in real time, to actually take
55
145000
3000
藉由類似OK蹦的東西就可以
02:43
measurements of caloric intake
56
148000
2000
即時測量所攝取
02:45
as well as expenditure, through a Band-Aid.
57
150000
3000
及消耗的卡路里。
02:48
Now, what I've talked about are physiologic metrics.
58
153000
3000
到目前為止，我所談的都僅只於生理指標。
02:51
But what I want to get to, the next frontier,
59
156000
3000
接下來我要談談新的領域，
02:54
very quickly, and why the stethoscope
60
159000
2000
我也會說明為什麼聽診器
02:56
is on its way out,
61
161000
2000
正快速的被淘汰，
02:58
is because we can transcend listening to the valve sounds,
62
163000
4000
奇異公司研發的手持超音波掃描儀，
03:02
and the breath sounds, because now,
63
167000
2000
讓聽診不再僅侷限於
03:04
introduced by G.E. is a handheld ultra-sound.
64
169000
3000
辨識心臟瓣膜音及呼吸音。
03:07
Why is this important? Because this is so much more sensitive.
65
172000
3000
這項技術為什麼如此重要? 因為它非常的敏感。
03:10
Here is an example of an abdominal ultrasound,
66
175000
3000
來看看幾個例子，腹部超音波，
03:13
and also a cardiac echo, which can be sent wireless,
67
178000
4000
可以無線傳送的心臟超音波，
03:17
and then there's an example of fetal monitoring on your smartphone.
68
182000
4000
及使用智慧型手機進行胎兒監測。
03:21
So, we're not just talking about physiologic metrics --
69
186000
3000
現在談的不只是測量重要生命徵象、
03:24
the key measurements of vital signs,
70
189000
3000
生理指標數據、
03:27
and all those things in physiology -- but also all the imaging
71
192000
3000
生理機能，而是同時能
03:30
that one could look at in your smartphone.
72
195000
2000
在智慧型手機上看到影像。
03:32
Now, this is an example of another obsolete technology,
73
197000
4000
這是另一個會被淘汰的科技，
03:36
soon to be buried: the Holter Monitor.
74
201000
2000
很快將被遺忘的24小時心電圖。
03:38
Twenty-four hour recording, lots of wires.
75
203000
2000
可以全天候監測紀錄，有很多電線。
03:40
This is now a little tiny patch.
76
205000
2000
現在這小小的貼片將取代它。
03:42
You can put it on for two weeks
77
207000
2000
這貼片可以貼在身上兩周。
03:44
and send it in the mail.
78
209000
3000
記錄的數據可以透過email傳送。
03:47
Now, how does this work? Well,
79
212000
2000
這是如何辦到的?
03:49
there is these smart Band-Aids or these sensors
80
214000
2000
病人在鞋子裡或手腕上穿戴
03:51
that one would put on, on a shoe or on the wrist.
81
216000
3000
這些智慧型OK蹦或感應器
03:54
And this sends a signal
82
219000
3000
它們會發出訊號。
03:57
and it creates a body area network to a gateway.
83
222000
4000
這讓病人的身體成為一個連接到網路通信閘道器的訊息網路
04:01
Gateway could be a smartphone or it could be a dedicated gateway,
84
226000
3000
閘道器可以是智慧型手機，或專用的閘道器，
04:04
as today many of these things are dedicated gateways,
85
229000
2000
現在專用閘道器仍普遍使用，
04:06
because they are not so well integrated.
86
231000
2000
因為兩者尚未整合好。
04:08
That signal goes to the web, the cloud,
87
233000
3000
訊號傳到網路，也就是雲端，
04:11
and then it can be processed and sent anywhere:
88
236000
2000
這些數據會被處理
04:13
to a caregiver, to a physician,
89
238000
2000
並傳送給護士、醫生
04:15
back to the patient, etc.
90
240000
2000
或是病人自己…，等等。
04:17
So, that's basically very simplistic technology
91
242000
3000
基本上這一項技術的運作方式
04:20
of how this works.
92
245000
2000
其實很簡單。
04:22
Now, I have this device on.
93
247000
2000
現在我身上就貼了這個感應器。
04:24
I didn't want to take my shirt off to show you, but I can tell you it's on.
94
249000
3000
我不會把襯衫脫下來給各位看，但是我身上真有一個。
04:27
This is a device that not only measures cardiac rhythm,
95
252000
4000
這個裝置不只能夠測量心律，
04:31
as you saw already,
96
256000
2000
如同您已經看到的，
04:33
but it also goes well beyond that.
97
258000
3000
它可以做的事情遠超過這些。
04:36
This is me now. And you can see the ECG.
98
261000
3000
您現在看到的是我的心電圖。
04:39
Below that's the actual heart rate and the trend;
99
264000
3000
下方是我的心跳速率及模式，
04:42
to the right of that is a bioconductant.
100
267000
2000
右邊的是生理參數，
04:44
That's the fluid status,
101
269000
2000
它反映的是體液的狀態，
04:46
fluid status, that's really important
102
271000
2000
對於監測心臟衰竭的病患
04:48
if you're monitoring somebody with heart failure.
103
273000
2000
體液狀態尤其重要。
04:50
And below that's temperature,
104
275000
2000
下方是體溫、
04:52
and respiration, and oxygen,
105
277000
2000
呼吸、及血氧量，
04:54
and then the position activity.
106
279000
2000
還有我的身體活動姿勢。
04:56
So, this is really striking, because this device
107
281000
3000
這真是非常了不起!
04:59
measures seven things
108
284000
2000
因為這個裝置可以同時
05:01
that are very much vital signs
109
286000
3000
監測心臟衰竭病患的
05:04
for monitoring someone with heart failure. OK?
110
289000
4000
七個重要生命徵象。
05:08
And why is this important? Well,
111
293000
2000
為什麼這很重要？
05:10
this is the most expensive bed.
112
295000
3000
這是一張費用最昂貴的病床，
05:13
What if we could reduce the need for hospital beds?
113
298000
3000
要是可以減少對病床的需求會如何呢？
05:16
Well, we can. First of all, heart failure
114
301000
2000
事實上辦不到。因為心臟衰竭
05:18
is the number one reason
115
303000
3000
是美國病患住院及
05:21
for hospital admissions and readmissions in this country.
116
306000
3000
再度住院的首要原因。
05:24
The cost of heart failure is 37 billion dollars a year,
117
309000
5000
每年花在治療心臟衰竭的費用高達370億美元，
05:29
which is 80 percent related to hospitalization.
118
314000
3000
其中80%與住院有關。
05:32
And in the course of 30 days after a hospital stay
119
317000
3000
醫療保險Medicare支付30天的住院療程，
05:35
for a Medicare greater than 65 years or older,
120
320000
3000
其65歲以上的病患出院後
05:38
is -- 27 percent are readmitted in 30 days,
121
323000
3000
30天內再住院率是27%。
05:41
and by six months, over 56 percent are readmitted.
122
326000
4000
6個月內再度住院率超過56%。
05:45
So, can we improve that? Well the idea is
123
330000
2000
這個狀況可以改善嗎？有個臨床實驗是
05:47
we take this device that I'm wearing,
124
332000
2000
把我身上的裝置隨機
05:49
and we put it on 600 patients with heart failure,
125
334000
4000
裝在600位心臟衰竭患者身上，
05:53
randomly assigned, versus 600 patients
126
338000
2000
與600位沒有裝感應器的
05:55
who don't have active monitoring,
127
340000
2000
心臟衰竭患者作比較，
05:57
and see whether we can reduce heart failure readmissions,
128
342000
3000
觀察是否可以降低病患的再住院率。
06:00
and that's exciting. And we'll start that trial,
129
345000
2000
這很令人興奮，這個實驗即將開始，
06:02
and you'll hear more about how we're going to do that,
130
347000
2000
您會聽到實驗進展的消息。
06:04
but that's a type of wireless device trial
131
349000
3000
這只是未來幾年改變醫療的
06:07
that could change medicine in the years ahead.
132
352000
3000
無線裝置實驗的其中一種。
06:10
Why now? Why has this all of a sudden become
133
355000
3000
為何是現在？為何這令人振奮
06:13
a reality, an exciting direction in the future of medicine?
134
358000
4000
的醫療發展新走向突然瞬間成真？
06:17
What we have is, in a way, a perfect positive storm.
135
362000
4000
這是因為一場積極正面的醫療變革，促成了
06:21
This sets up consumer-driven healthcare.
136
366000
2000
消費者導向醫療照護的形成，
06:23
That's where this is all starting.
137
368000
2000
一切就是由此開始的。
06:25
Let me just give you specifics about why this is
138
370000
3000
假如您尚未知悉，容我向各位報告
06:28
a big movement if you're not aware of it:
139
373000
2000
為什麼這是一場巨大變革的細節。
06:30
1.2 million Americans
140
375000
2000
有120萬美國人擁有
06:32
have gotten a Nike shoe, which is a body-area network
141
377000
3000
具身體訊息網路功能的Nike運動鞋，
06:35
that connects the shoe, the sole of the shoe to the iPhone, or an iPod.
142
380000
4000
鞋底的感應器可以連結到iPhone或iPod。
06:39
And this Wired Magazine cover article
143
384000
2000
這篇《連線》雜誌的封面文章
06:41
really captured a lot of this; it talked a lot about the Nike shoe
144
386000
3000
對此詳盡報導，文中對Nike運動鞋著墨甚多，
06:44
and how quickly that's been adopted to monitor exercise physiology
145
389000
3000
談到它快速的被用於監測運動生理狀態
06:47
and energy expenditure.
146
392000
2000
及能量消耗。
06:49
Here are some things, the principles
147
394000
2000
有些該銘記於心的
06:51
that are guiding principles to keep in mind:
148
396000
2000
指導原則：
06:53
"A data-driven health revolution
149
398000
2000
「一場由數據主導的健康革命
06:55
promises to make us all
150
400000
2000
承諾藉著密切掌控數據，
06:57
better, faster, and stronger. Living by numbers."
151
402000
3000
將使我們活的更好、更快、更強壯。」
07:00
And this one, which is really telling,
152
405000
2000
《連線》雜誌的七月號刊的
07:02
this was from July, this cover article:
153
407000
3000
封面文章說：
07:05
"The personal metrics movement goes way beyond
154
410000
3000
「這場生理指標數值個人化的變革
07:08
diet and exercise. It's about tracking every facet
155
413000
3000
將遠超越飲食、運動的用途，它可以365天，
07:11
of life, from sleep to mood to pain,
156
416000
2000
24小時，全年無休追蹤睡眠、
07:13
24/7/365."
157
418000
3000
情緒、疼痛等身體的各個面向。」
07:16
Well, I tried this device.
158
421000
3000
我試用過這個裝置。
07:19
A lot of you have gotten that Phillips Direct Life.
159
424000
3000
大部分的人用的是飛利浦的 Direct Life，
07:22
I didn't have one of those,
160
427000
2000
我用的不是Direct Life，
07:24
but I got the Fitbit.
161
429000
2000
而是Fitbit（隨身生活記錄器）
07:26
That looks like this.
162
431000
2000
就是這個，
07:28
It's like a wireless accelerometer, pedometer.
163
433000
3000
它像是無線的加速度計或計步器。
07:31
And I want to just give you the results of that testing,
164
436000
2000
我要測試一下讓大家看看結果，
07:33
because I wanted to understand about the consumer movement.
165
438000
3000
我想要了解消費者運動。
07:36
I hope the, by the way, the Phillips Direct Life works better --
166
441000
2000
喔，我希望飛利浦的Direct Life比較好用，
07:38
I hope so.
167
443000
2000
我說真的。
07:40
But this monitors food, it monitors activity and tracks weight.
168
445000
4000
Fitbit可以監測食物、活動、體重。
07:44
However you have to put in most of this stuff.
169
449000
2000
但大部分你得自己輸入；
07:46
The only thing it really tracks by itself is activity,
170
451000
3000
它唯一自動追蹤監測的是活動，
07:49
and even then, it's not complete.
171
454000
2000
即便如此，它仍然不夠完善。
07:51
So, you exercise and it picks up the exercise.
172
456000
3000
你運動，它會記錄下來，
07:54
You put in your height and weight, it calculates BMI,
173
459000
3000
你輸入身高、體重，它會計算BMI，
07:57
and of course it tells you how many calories you're expending
174
462000
3000
運動時它會告訴你耗盡了多少熱量，
08:00
from the exercise, and how many you took in,
175
465000
3000
如果輸入你吃的所有食物，
08:03
if you go in and enter all the foods.
176
468000
1000
它會告訴你攝取了多少熱量。
08:04
But it really wants you to enter all your activity.
177
469000
3000
重點是要輸入你所有的活動，
08:07
And so I went to this,
178
472000
3000
我用了Fitbit，
08:10
and of course I was gratified that it picked up
179
475000
2000
也很滿意它記錄了
08:12
the 42 minutes of exercise, elliptical exercise I did,
180
477000
4000
我做的42分鐘的簡單的運動。
08:16
but then it wants more information.
181
481000
2000
但是它要求的更多，
08:18
So, it says, "You want to log sexual activity.
182
483000
3000
它說：「輸入你的性行為；
08:21
How long did you do it for?"
183
486000
2000
活動持續多久？」
08:23
(Laughter)
184
488000
3000
（觀眾笑聲）
08:26
And it says, "How hard was it?"
185
491000
3000
「有多困難？」（雙關語:有多硬？）
08:29
(Laughter)
186
494000
1000
（觀眾笑聲）
08:30
Furthermore it says, "Start time."
187
495000
3000
「開始時間。」
08:33
Now, this doesn't appear -- this just doesn't work,
188
498000
2000
我沒有輸入...這樣不行啊，
08:35
I mean, this just doesn't work.
189
500000
2000
這樣根本行不通啊。
08:37
So, now I want to move to sleep.
190
502000
2000
好，現在來談睡眠，
08:39
Who would ever have thought you could have your own EEG
191
504000
3000
誰想到過在自己家裡，
08:42
at your home, tagged to a very nice alarm clock, by the way?
192
507000
3000
可以有個附腦波監測器的鬧鐘。
08:45
This is the headband that goes with this alarm clock.
193
510000
3000
這是這個鬧鐘的頭帶，
08:48
It monitors your brainwaves continuously, when you're sleeping.
194
513000
3000
你睡覺的時候，它會持續監測你的腦波。
08:51
So, I did this thing for seven days
195
516000
2000
為了準備TEDMed的演講
08:53
getting ready for TEDMed.
196
518000
2000
我試了這個裝置七天。
08:55
This is an important part of our life, one-third you're supposed to be sleeping.
197
520000
3000
睡眠是人生的重要部分，一生中有1/3在睡覺。
08:58
Of course how many here
198
523000
2000
在座各位有多少
09:00
have any problems with sleeping?
199
525000
4000
有睡眠方面的問題？
09:04
It's usually 90 percent. So, you tell me you sleep better than expected.
200
529000
3000
通常是90%，所以在座各位都睡的不錯喔!
09:07
Okay, well this was a week of
201
532000
3000
好，這是我一個禮拜的
09:10
my life in sleeping,
202
535000
2000
睡眠狀況。
09:12
and you get a Z.Q. score. Instead of an I.Q. score,
203
537000
3000
這是睡眠商數，不是智力商數，
09:15
you get a Z.Q. score when you wake up.
204
540000
2000
一早醒來你會知道你的睡眠商數。
09:17
You say, "Oh, OK." And a Z.Q. score
205
542000
2000
你可能會想：「嗯，好。」
09:19
is adjusted to age,
206
544000
2000
睡眠商數隨年齡而易，
09:21
and you want to get as high as you possibly can.
207
546000
3000
得分越高越好。
09:24
So this is the moment-by-moment,
208
549000
2000
這個圖片顯示的是
09:26
or minute-by-minute sleep.
209
551000
2000
每分鐘的睡眠狀況。
09:28
And you see that Z.Q. there was 80-odd.
210
553000
3000
你可以看到我得了80幾分，
09:31
And the wake time is in orange.
211
556000
3000
橘色代表我醒著的時間。
09:34
And this can be a problem, as I learned.
212
559000
3000
我發現這樣有問題，
09:37
Because it not only helps you with quantifying
213
562000
2000
因為這樣一來它不僅幫助你
09:39
your sleep,
214
564000
2000
把睡眠狀況數據化，
09:41
but also tells others you're awake.
215
566000
3000
同時也告訴別人你醒著。
09:44
So, when my wife came in and she
216
569000
3000
當我太太走進房間
09:47
could tell you're awake.
217
572000
2000
她知道我是醒著的。
09:49
"Eric, I want to talk. I want to talk."
218
574000
2000
「艾瑞克，我有話要說，我有話要說。」
09:51
And I'm trying to play possum.
219
576000
2000
我還在裝睡。
09:53
This thing is very, very impressive.
220
578000
3000
這真的是非常的了不起！
09:56
OK. So, that's the first night.
221
581000
3000
好，這是第一個晚上，
09:59
And this one is now 67,
222
584000
2000
我的分數是67分，
10:01
and that's not a good score.
223
586000
2000
這個分數不是很好。
10:03
And this tells you, of course, how much you had in REM sleep,
224
588000
2000
這個裝置還告訴你在快速動眼期、
10:05
in deep sleep, and all this sort of thing.
225
590000
2000
深眠期和各個狀態的睡眠時間。
10:07
This was really fascinating because
226
592000
2000
這真的非常吸引人，
10:09
this gave that quantitation
227
594000
2000
因為它對睡眠的
10:11
about all the different phases of sleep.
228
596000
2000
各個階段作定量分析。
10:13
So, it also then tells you how you do compared to your age group.
229
598000
3000
同時也把你和同年齡的人比較一番，
10:16
It's like a managed competition of sleep.
230
601000
3000
好像睡眠大賽似的。
10:19
And really interesting stuff.
231
604000
4000
這個裝置真的很有趣。
10:23
Look at this thing and say, "Well, I didn't think I was a very good sleeper,
232
608000
3000
我看著它心裡想：「嗯，我睡覺睡得不怎麼樣嘛！
10:26
but actually I did better than average in 50 to 60 year olds." OK?
233
611000
5000
但是比起一般五、六十歲的人，我表現的還不賴喔！」
10:31
And the key thing was, what I didn't know,
234
616000
2000
我以前所不知道的是，
10:33
was that I was a really good dreamer.
235
618000
2000
我睡覺時作很多夢。
10:35
OK. Now let's move from sleep to diseases.
236
620000
5000
好，談完了睡眠，來看看疾病。
10:40
Eighty percent of Americans have chronic disease,
237
625000
3000
80%的美國人有慢性病，
10:43
or 80 percent of age greater than 65 have
238
628000
3000
65歲以上的美國人，
10:46
two or more chronic disease,
239
631000
2000
八成罹患兩種以上的慢性病。
10:48
140 million Americans
240
633000
2000
有1億4千萬的美國人
10:50
have one or more chronic disease,
241
635000
2000
罹患一種以上的慢性病。
10:52
and 80 percent of our 1.5, whatever, trillion
242
637000
5000
1.5兆美金的醫療開銷中
10:57
expenditures are related to chronic disease.
243
642000
2000
有80%與慢性病有關。
10:59
Now, diabetes is one of the big ones.
244
644000
2000
糖尿病是其中之一，
11:01
Almost 24 million people have diabetes.
245
646000
3000
大約有2千4百萬人有糖尿病。
11:04
And here is the latest map. It was published
246
649000
2000
這是《紐約時報》一星期前公布的
11:06
just a little more than a week ago in the New York Times,
247
651000
3000
最新糖尿病患分布地圖。
11:09
and it isn't looking good.
248
654000
2000
狀況看起來不妙。
11:11
That is, for men, 29 percent
249
656000
3000
在美國，60歲以上男性，
11:14
in the country over 60 have Type II diabetes,
250
659000
3000
29%患有第二型糖尿病。
11:17
and women, although it's less, it's terribly high.
251
662000
3000
女性雖然少一些，但仍是高得嚇人。
11:20
But of course we have a way to measure that now
252
665000
2000
現在有血糖感應器
11:22
on a continuous basis,
253
667000
2000
可以用它來
11:24
with a sensor that detects blood glucose,
254
669000
2000
持續監測血糖。
11:26
and it's important because we could detect
255
671000
2000
這很重要，因為我們可以
11:28
hyperglycemia that otherwise wouldn't be known,
256
673000
2000
檢查出現有技術檢查不到的
11:30
and also hypoglycemia.
257
675000
2000
高血糖症及低血糖症。
11:32
And you can see the red dots, in this particular patient's case,
258
677000
3000
以這個測量針刺血糖值的病人為例，
11:35
were finger sticks, which would have missed both ends.
259
680000
3000
其測量值兩側的數據被遺漏了，
11:38
But by continuous monitoring,
260
683000
2000
藉由持續監測血糖，
11:40
it captures all that vital information.
261
685000
2000
可以記錄所有重要的生命徵象數據。
11:42
The future of this though,
262
687000
2000
這一科技的未來，
11:44
is being able to move this to a Band-Aid type phenomenon,
263
689000
2000
正朝向OK蹦感應器的形式發展，
11:46
and that's not so far away.
264
691000
3000
不久的將來就可以實現。
11:49
So, let me just give you, very quickly,
265
694000
2000
現在我簡短的向各位報告
11:51
10 top targets for wireless medicine.
266
696000
2000
無線醫療科技的10大目標，
11:53
All these things are possible --
267
698000
2000
這些目標都是可以實現的，
11:55
some of them are very close,
268
700000
2000
有些很接近完成，
11:57
or already, as you heard,
269
702000
2000
或如您聽到的，
11:59
are available today, in some way or form.
270
704000
2000
已經被運用於臨床上。
12:01
Alzheimer's disease:
271
706000
2000
阿滋海默症：
12:03
there's five million people affected, and you can check
272
708000
2000
有500萬人罹患此病，我們可以檢查這些人的
12:05
vital signs, activity, balance.
273
710000
2000
生命徵象，活動，平衡感。
12:07
Asthma: large number, we could detect things like
274
712000
3000
氣喘：病患眾多，可以檢測
12:10
pollen count, air quality, respiratory rate. Breast cancer,
275
715000
3000
花粉量，空氣品質，呼吸頻率。
12:13
I'll show you an example of that real quickly.
276
718000
3000
乳癌：稍後我會給各位一個例子。
12:16
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
277
721000
3000
慢性阻塞性肺病。
12:19
Depression, there's a great approach to that in mood disorders.
278
724000
3000
憂鬱症：現在有很好的情緒障礙監測方法。
12:22
Diabetes I've just mentioned. Heart failure we already talked about. Hypertension:
279
727000
3000
我已經介紹過的糖尿病和心臟衰竭。
12:25
74 million people could have continuous blood-pressure monitoring
280
730000
3000
高血壓：7千4百萬人可以持續的監控血壓，
12:28
to come up with much better management and prevention.
281
733000
5000
幫助醫界找到更好的血壓管理和預防方法。
12:33
And obesity we already talked about, the ways to get to that.
282
738000
3000
我們也談過了處理肥胖及
12:36
And sleep disorders.
283
741000
2000
睡眠障礙的方法。
12:38
This is effective around the world. The access to smartphones
284
743000
3000
這一切可運用在全世界各地，因為手機、
12:41
and cell phones today is extraordinary.
285
746000
3000
智慧型手機已經非常普及了。
12:44
And this article from The Economist summed it up beautifully
286
749000
3000
這篇《經濟學人》的文章對開發中國家
12:47
about the opportunities in health across the developing world:
287
752000
2000
衛生保健發展的時機做了一個完美的總結：
12:49
"Mobile phones made a bigger difference to the lives of more people,
288
754000
3000
「相較於以往任何科技，行動電話正以更大的規模、
12:52
more quickly, than any previous technology."
289
757000
3000
更快速的影響更多人的生活。」
12:55
And that's before we got going on the m-health world.
290
760000
3000
而文章寫於無線醫療開始之前。
12:58
Aging: The problem is enormous,
291
763000
3000
老化：問題很嚴重。
13:01
300,000 broken hips per year;
292
766000
2000
每年有30萬個髖關節骨折病例。
13:03
but the solutions are extraordinary,
293
768000
3000
然而我們有絕佳的解決方案，
13:06
and they include so many different things.
294
771000
2000
包括許多琳瑯滿目的科技。
13:08
One of the ones I just wanted to mention:
295
773000
2000
其中我要特別一提的就是iShoe：
13:10
The iShoe is another example of a sensor that
296
775000
3000
這是個很好的例子，它的感應器可以
13:13
improves proprioception among the elderly
297
778000
3000
提高老年人的本體感覺
13:16
to prevent falling.
298
781000
1000
預防跌倒。
13:17
One of many different techniques using wireless sensors.
299
782000
3000
這是無線感應器科技的其中一個應用。
13:20
So, we can change medicine across the continuum of care,
300
785000
3000
醫療將大為改觀，包括持續性照護、
13:23
across the ages from premies or unborn children
301
788000
4000
從早產兒、胎兒到老年人
13:27
to seniors; the pharmaceutical arena changes;
302
792000
3000
各年齡層的醫療、整個製藥領域，
13:30
the full spectrum of disease -- I hope I've given you a sense of that --
303
795000
3000
整個疾病醫療過程。希望我說得夠清楚，
13:33
across the globe.
304
798000
2000
全球醫療也將改變。
13:35
There are two things that can really accelerate this whole process.
305
800000
3000
有兩件事更加快了這個過程。
13:38
One of them -- we're very fortunate -- is to develop a dedicated institute
306
803000
4000
第一，我們非常幸運成立了專門研究無線醫療的機構，
13:42
and that's work that started with the work that Scripps with Qualcomm ...
307
807000
6000
斯克利普斯研究院和高通公司是這方面的先驅；
13:48
and then the great fortune of meeting up with Gary and Mary West,
308
813000
3000
再者就是非常幸運的遇到蓋瑞和瑪莉威斯特夫婦，
13:51
to get behind this wireless health institute.
309
816000
3000
他們大力襄助這個無線醫療研究機構。
13:54
San Diego is an extraordinary place for this.
310
819000
2000
聖地牙哥是個絕佳的地點，
13:56
There's over 650 wireless companies,
311
821000
3000
有650家無線技術的公司，
13:59
100 of which or more are working in wireless health.
312
824000
3000
其中100多家專攻無線醫療領域。
14:02
It's the number one source of commerce, and interestingly
313
827000
3000
有最豐富的無線醫療商務資源，
14:05
it dovetails beautifully with over 500 life science companies.
314
830000
3000
天衣無縫的搭配500多家生命科學公司。
14:08
The wireless institute,
315
833000
3000
威斯特無線健康研究院
14:11
the West Wireless Health Institute,
316
836000
2000
是這兩位卓越非凡的人
14:13
is really the outgrowth of two extraordinary people
317
838000
4000
努力的成果，
14:17
who are here this evening:
318
842000
2000
今晚他們也來到了現場 —
14:19
Gary and Mary West. And I'd like to give it up for them for getting behind this.
319
844000
3000
蓋瑞和瑪莉威斯特夫婦，在此我要感謝威斯特夫婦的鼎力相助。
14:22
(Applause)
320
847000
4000
（觀眾鼓掌）
14:26
Their fantastic philanthropic investment made this possible,
321
851000
3000
威斯特夫婦慷慨的慈善投資使這一切能夠實現，
14:29
and this is really a nonprofit education center
322
854000
3000
就是這所即將開幕營運的
14:32
which is just about to open. It looks like this,
323
857000
3000
非營利教育中心，這是它的外觀。
14:35
this whole building dedicated.
324
860000
3000
威斯特研究院將完全致力於無線醫療的研究。
14:38
And what it's trying to do is accelerate this era:
325
863000
2000
也正嚐試加速無線醫療時代的發展：
14:40
to take unmet medical needs, to work and innovate --
326
865000
3000
針對有待解決的醫療需求，研發創新。
14:43
and we just appointed the chief engineer, Mehran Mehregany,
327
868000
3000
我們在星期一剛宣布任命了
14:46
it was announced on Monday --
328
871000
2000
首席工程師 Mehran Mehregany。
14:48
then to move up with development,
329
873000
2000
我們自許要與時俱進，
14:50
clinical trial validation and then changing medical practice,
330
875000
3000
進行臨床試驗，改善醫療現況。
14:53
the most challenging thing of all,
331
878000
3000
最大的挑戰在於，
14:56
requiring attention to reimbursement, healthcare policy, healthcare economics.
332
881000
3000
喚起大眾對醫療賠償、健保政策及財政的關注。
14:59
The other big thing, besides having this fantastic
333
884000
3000
有這所研究機構催化醫療變革之外，
15:02
institute to catalyze this process
334
887000
3000
另一件重要的事是 —
15:05
is guidance,
335
890000
3000
發展方向的指引，
15:08
and that's of course relying on the fact that medicine goes digital.
336
893000
3000
這有賴於醫療數位化。
15:11
If we understand biology from genomics and omics
337
896000
4000
我們從基因組學和體學來了解生物學，
15:15
and wireless through physiologic phenotyping, that's big.
338
900000
4000
透過無線科技了解生理表型分析是重大的進展。
15:19
Because what it does is allow a convergence like we've never had before.
339
904000
3000
因為這是人類知識史無前例的大匯集。
15:22
Over 80 major diseases have been cracked at the genomic level,
340
907000
5000
超過80%重大疾病的基因已被破解，
15:27
but this is quite extraordinary: More has been learned about
341
912000
3000
這是非凡的成就— 在過去這兩年半
15:30
the underpinnings of disease in the last two and a half years
342
915000
2000
我們對於疾病發生的根本成因的瞭解
15:32
than in the history of man.
343
917000
2000
超越了歷史的任何一個時期。
15:34
And when you put that together with, for example,
344
919000
2000
把這一切搭配iPhone的
15:36
now an app for the iPhone with your genotype
345
921000
3000
應用軟體，針對個人遺傳基因
15:39
to guide drug therapy ...
346
924000
2000
來引導選擇藥物治療。
15:41
but, the future -- we can now tell who's going to get Type II diabetes
347
926000
4000
現在我們可以根據常見的基因變異，
15:45
from all the common variants,
348
930000
2000
預測誰會得到第二型糖尿病，
15:47
and that's going to get filled in more
349
932000
2000
而未來，我們對造成第二型糖尿病
15:49
with low-frequency variants in the future.
350
934000
2000
的較不常見的變異，會有更多了解。
15:51
We can tell who's going to get breast cancer
351
936000
2000
我們可以從各種基因
15:53
from the various genes.
352
938000
2000
預測誰會得到乳癌，
15:55
We can also know who's likely to get atrial fibrillation.
353
940000
3000
也可以預測誰有可能罹患心律不整（心房纖維顫動），
15:58
And finally, another example: sudden cardiac death.
354
943000
3000
以及心因性猝死。
16:01
Each of these has a sensor.
355
946000
2000
針對每項疾病我們研發出感應器。
16:03
We can give glucose a sensor for diabetes to prevent it.
356
948000
4000
糖尿病患者能夠運用血糖感應器來事先防範。
16:07
We can prevent, or have the earliest detection possible,
357
952000
3000
我們可以用超音波掃描儀
16:10
for breast cancer with an ultrasound device
358
955000
3000
來預防或儘早
16:13
given to the patient.
359
958000
2000
驗出乳癌，
16:15
An iPatch, iRhythm, for atrial fibrillation.
360
960000
3000
讓心律不整患者配戴iRhythm，
16:18
And vital-signs monitoring to prevent sudden cardiac death.
361
963000
4000
藉由監測生命徵象預防心因性猝死，
16:22
We lose 700,000 people a year in the U.S. from sudden cardiac death.
362
967000
3000
每年美國有70萬人死於心因性猝死。
16:25
So, I hope I've convinced you of this,
363
970000
3000
我希望傳達給各位的是 —
16:28
of the impact on hospital clinic resources is profound
364
973000
4000
無線裝置對醫療院所資源的影響極其深遠，
16:32
and then the impact on diseases is equally impressive
365
977000
3000
對於疾病也同樣將帶來巨大、深遠的影響，
16:35
across all these different diseases and more.
366
980000
3000
包括剛剛談過的，及其他更多的疾病。
16:38
It's really taking individualized medicine to a new height
367
983000
4000
醫療無線裝置將把個人化醫療帶向更高的水平、
16:42
and it's hyper-innovative,
368
987000
3000
一個空前創新的境界。
16:45
and I think it represents the black swan of medicine.
369
990000
4000
我認為它將引發醫藥界的黑天鵝效應。
16:49
Thanks for your attention.
370
994000
3000
感謝各位的聆聽。
16:52
(Applause)
371
997000
