我很榮幸,能用我祖母的 名字艾莉西亚来命名。 |
| She dedicated her life to women's health as an obstetrician , in a time when women were rarely allowed to obtain medical degrees. |
她是妇产科医生, 一生奉献给女性的健康, 那个年代,很少有女性 能取得医学学位。 |

|
| When one of my cofounders , Monica, was 12, she was waiting at school for her mom to pick her up. |
我的其中一位共同创办人 莫妮卡十二岁时, 在学校等她母亲去接她。 |
| Only that didn't happen, because her mom, a 44-year-old physician , had suddenly passed away from a stroke . |
却没有等到, 因为她母亲,四十四岁的医生, 因为中风突然去世。 |
| Unfortunately , our stories are common. |
不幸的是,我们的故事很常见。 |
| Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide . |

| And for women, it is not only harder to recognize , diagnose and treat , but after a heart attack or a stroke, women also face higher mortality . |
对女性而言,不仅比较难 发现、诊断,及治疗这些疾病, 在发生心脏病或中风之后, |
| There are about 44 million women living in the US with heart disease, and the incidences for women under 65 are on the rise. |
在美国有大约四千四百万名 女性有心脏疾病, 且六十五岁以下女性的发病率 |
| So what's going on? |
这是怎么回事？ |

| Let's look at data first, or the lack of it. |
咱们先来谈谈资料, 或者说,资料的缺乏。 |
| When I was doing cardiovascular research at MIT, |
我在麻省理工学院做心血管研究时, |
| I had access to huge data sets. |
我能取得大型资料集。 |
| Realizing that women were one of the largest subgroups underrepresented was eye-opening . |
发现女性是未被充分代表的族群当中 最大的子族群之一,让我大开眼界。 |
| In fact, women were basically excluded from cardiovascular clinical trials until the NIH mandated inclusion in 1993. |
事实上,基本上心血管临床试验中 几乎没有女性, 直到 1993 年国家卫生研究院 强制要求纳入女性。 |

|
| This is why existing technologies and therapies often fall short , because most of them have been designed using data primarily from male animals and men. |
这就是为什么既有技术和治疗通常都有所不足, 因为在设计它们时, 使用的主要都是 雄性动物和男性的资料。 |
| And as artificial intelligence helps turbocharge digital health, there's a danger that algorithms mostly trained with male data and biases will actually perpetuate the problem. |
当人工智慧开始协助 加速数位健康时, 有个危险的风险,演算法在训练时主要用男性资料和偏见, 这样,问题只会延续下去。 |

|
| Next, let's look at medical devices. |
接着,来谈谈医疗器材。 |
| The "one type fits all" approach doesn't even take into account the fact that heart disease and stroke can present differently in women. |
「一种方法适用于所有人」的方式 甚至没有考虑到事实上心脏病和中风 在女性身上的呈现可能不同。 |
| Way too often, female thresholds are not programmed. |
女性的门槛值通常未被写入程式中。 |
| Smaller arteries cannot be visualized , and poor clinical-grade monitoring systems cannot accommodate two different body shapes or stages in life. |
