21、 Smart speakers have proven to be handy devices in hospitals, allowing patients to control independently . And now, researchers from the University of Washington have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables these devices to monitor heartbeats.
Using technology to remotely monitor heart rates isn't new. These days most smartwatches and fitness trackers are capable of it. The good thing here is that researchers have figured out a way to use the microphones in smart speakers to do it without requiring physical contact.
In a study published in Communications Biology, the researchers had the smart speakers send out signals that couldn't be heard which were then reflected off a person's body. They then analyzed these signals to identify small chest wall motions related to heartbeats, as well as separate those signals from surrounding noise and breathing.
For this particular proof — of — concept setup, the researchers tested this smart speaker on 26 healthy participants and 24 hospitalized patients with various heart conditions, including atrial fibrillation (心房颤动)and heart failure. In both cases, the smart speaker was within 28 - 30 milliseconds of an ECG (心电图),the gold standard used in hospitals to discover arrhythmia (心律不齐).
Like smartwatches with advanced heart features, using smart speakers in this way opens up the possibility for passive, remote heart monitoring. ECGs, while highly accurate, require a visit to the doctor and several electrodes (电极)to be placed on the body. They, re not capable of continuous monitoring so you're limited to what it picks up at that exact moment in time ——one reason why heart arrhythmia can be so hard to discover.
Smartwatches are capable of passive, remote, continuous monitoring, but they require you to wear the device at all times to be effective. It's not something that's comfortable for everyone, especially when it comes to sleep and for those with highly sensitive skin. Another issue is that these advanced smartwatches are expensive, while smart speakers are much cheaper.
“If you have a device like this, you can monitor a patient on an extended basis and then develop corresponding care plans that satisfy the patient' s needs,“ said Dr. Arun Sridhar, co — senior author on the study. "And the beauty of using this kind of devices is that they are already in people's homes.”
【1】What does the author focus on in Paragraph 3?
A.How the smart speaker works.
B.Why the smart speaker is useful.
C.The advantages of smart speakers.
D.The importance of the study.
【2】Why is heart arrhythmia difficult to find?
A.ECGs are not highly accurate.
B.ECGs can't monitor continuously.
C.Doctors know little about heart arrhythmia.
D.An ECG test is hard to operate and expensive.
【3】Which statement best explains the characteristics of smartwatches?
A.They are comfortable to wear.
B.They are friendly to sensitive skin.
C.They are effective and cheap.
D.They are able to monitor remotely.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.We need to invent more smart devices.
B.Care plans are vital to patients with heart failure.
C.Smart speakers could be contactless heart monitors.
D.Different devices are needed to meet patients, demands.
