If you’re in a hospital and your doctor wants to monitor you without being in the room, there’s an app for that. There are also wireless pacemakers(起搏器)that allow doctors to keep track of your health over the Internet, as well as all types of sensors that check your vital signs and can be transmitted to a smart phone or laptop. The use of wireless-enabled devices is happening in hospitals across the country and, according to a report out this week by ABI Research, "this multibillion-dollar market is poised for even faster growth as more and more medical equipment is shipped WiFi-enabled. "
Depending on wireless-enabled health-care services could prove to be useful for several reasons. The biggest is that it allows doctors and hospitals to deal with the crush of aging patients who require regular checkups. For example, if a doctor can check your vitals via his BlackBerry, he avoids the time and cost of bringing you in to do the exact same thing. The idea is that these small changes will make health care more efficient and overall service better and even cheaper. Of course, we can’t forget the financial benefit to this sector, which grew more than 60 percent over the past 12 months in both wireless local area network and Wi-Fi real-time location system deployments. Not bad for a relatively nascent(新生的)market.
But there are some concerns about getting wired in the name of health. Like what happens if the equipment goes kaput(故障的)or misreads signs of a heart attack? ABI Research principal analyst, Jonathan Collins, told me that the adoption of wireless by the health-care sector will focus on noncritical applications for now. "It will measure things that are routinely monitored, where a change in a patient’s status won’t result in a life-or-death situation, but rather if a patient has an uptick in blood sugar, a doctor can call them up and see how they’re feeling. "
The Food and Drug Administration and Federal Communications Commission are scheduled to meet next month to discuss how to promote investment and innovation in health technology so it sounds like there’s little that will get in the way of this boom. If all of this sounds scary, consider it a normal reaction. Even a few patients who are on board and happy about this tech shift were freaked out once upon a time. Carol Kasy-janski, who wore a traditional pacemaker for 20 years for a heart condition, became the first American to be fitted with a wireless pacemaker last year. At the time, Kasyjanski told Reuters that her initial "fears have slowly been replaced by a sense of relief, knowing that her heart is under constant surveillance(监视). "
What is the passage mainly about?
选项
A、The traditional health-care devices are out of date.
B、A new wireless health-care technology is under research.
C、Patients are looking forward to new health technologies.
D、The new wireless health-care market will boom.
答案
D
解析
主旨大意题。第一段引出话题,指出各种无线医疗设备遍布各地医院。第二段介绍了无线医疗服务的优势。第三段指出无线医疗设备的应用现状。第四段总结无线医疗会不断发展,并为人们所接受。由此可知本文想要说明的是新型无线保健市场很有前景。故[D]项正确。
