Kids now grow up using mobile technologies, so digital health is not shying away from reaching out to the younger generation. Children tend to be a very open-minded audience, able to absorb useful information presented to them in compelling, innovative ways. Digital health strategies can engage them and help them develop healthy habits while habits are still forming. However, since this is a vulnerable and impressionable population, safety standards need to be considered, and parental support and involvement is beneficial.
现代儿童在使用移动技术中长大,所以数字医疗对年轻一代是无法避免的。儿童趋向成为思想开明的观众,他们能够在竞争和创新方法上吸收有用的信息。在习惯养成的阶段，数字卫生策略能帮助他们养成健康的习惯。然而,由于这是一个敏感、脆弱、易受影响的群体, 需要考虑一些安全标准，及父母的支持和参与对孩子们也是有益的。Some technologies and gadgets aimed at kids are adaptations of adult versions. The kid’s version establishes a reliable growth chart that gives parents information on their child’s growth and development simply by checking their smartphone.
专门针对孩子们的技术和设备，是成人技术和设备的改良版。孩子的版本，通过检查他们的智能手机，设置了一个可靠的增长图表,这个图表让父母知道他们孩子成长的信息。
Other health inventions allow children to more actively participate in the measuring and analyzing their own health, while at the same time enabling the sharing of their health information with parents. Kids can now measure their weight, activity levels and some parameters connected with certain chronic diseases. For instance, Ayogo’s Monster Manor App is a free game that encourages kids with type 1 diabetes to check their blood sugar regularly and helps them manage their disease better.
其他健康发明让孩子们更加积极地参与到测量和分析他们的健康状况上,并能分享他们的健康信息给家长。现在孩子们能测量体重、活动水平和某些慢性疾病的一些参数。例如怪物庄园的应用程序是一个免费游戏,这款游戏鼓励1型糖尿病儿童定期检查血糖,帮助他们更好地控制他们的疾病。
Since young children often suffer from food allergies and intolerances, so a device that would help them test their food for allergens might prove to be very useful.
因为儿童经常会患有食物过敏症,所以能有一款帮助测试他们食物过敏原的设备，可能是非常有用的。A UCLA research team has developed a way to examine food using a personalized food-testing platform on a cell phone. The lightweight device attaches to a common cell phone and offers the same accuracy as laboratory tests.
加州大学洛杉矶分校的一个研究小组已经开发了一种通过在手机上使用个性化食品检测平台来检测食品的方法。普通的手机连接上轻量级设备,就能提供与实验室测试相同的精确度。
