According to data from the International Social Security Association (ISSA), for employers, a healthy workforce is worth investing in. Preventive health measures taken by employees to ensure their physical and mental well-being at the workplace pay off big-time in terms of productivity, averaging yields of up to 220%.
根據「國際社會保障協會」數據指出,在職場上若從預防角度出發,在照顧員工身心健康部分,投資報酬率為2.2倍,因此對企業主而言,是絕對值得投資的項目。
take preventive measures 採取預防措施=take precautions=take precautionary measureswell-being(n.)福祉、幸福、安康productivity(n.)生產力、生產率
These days, psychologists and nutritionists have come to play increasingly important roles.
身心健康除了需要心理師之外,為病人、顧客提供飲食處方的營養師也變得日益重要,
psychologist(n.)心理學家;心理師nutritionist(n.)營養學家
Christopher A. Pissarides, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, predicts that psychologists and nutritionists will be at the forefront of the upcoming AI generation.
曾獲得諾貝爾經濟獎得主里斯多福‧皮薩里德斯就舉出,心理師和營養師將在AI世代嶄露頭角,
at or in the forefront of~最顯要的位置;最重要的地位
Currently, professionals in both fields are not able to serve patients 24 hours a day. What’s more, patients often do not accurately relay all of their health issues to the specialists whom they consult with.
不管是心理師還是營養師,他們都無法24小時全天候的為病患服務,再加上某些患有隱疾的病患,並不如實的告知自己的健康狀況,
What is more=moreover=furthermore 此外;更甚者relay A to B把…傳達給…consult with 徵詢某人的意見
This is where AI can be of major assistance. Information extracted on the patient via AI and big data will be instrumental in helping diagnose patients’ troubles more accurately.
因此為了掌控更精準的資訊以利診斷,AI大數據的合作,已是勢在必行的趨勢。
of major assistance~=of great help=very helpful很有幫助extract(v.)取出;提取;獲取=obtain=acquireinstrumental(adj.)起作用的、有幫助的=useful
In 2017, Alison Darcey, a clinical psychologist at Stanford University, applied “chat robot” technology in developing the “Woebot,” an auxiliary AI program specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy.
2017年,史丹佛大學臨床心理學家艾莉森.達西應用聊天機器人技術,研發出以「認知行為治療法」為導向的輔助機器人「Woebot」,
clinical psychologist臨床心理學家auxiliary(adj.)輔助的specialize in~專門從事cognitive behavioral therapy認知行為治療
The “Woebot” caused quite a stir at the time and began the debate as to whether or not AI could replace psychologists.
當時引起不少討論,甚至開始出現「AI將取代心理師」的言論。
cause a stir 引起軒然大波=cause controversy
Andrew Wu, the chairman of Woebot R&D, is confident that human psychologists and therapists will work with AI as opposed to being replaced by it. But he states that “robots still face enormous challenges in natural language processing (NLP).”
不過,現任Woebot研發公司董事長吳恩達也坦白地說,心理師學習與AI治療師攜手合作將是未來趨勢,「但是機器人在自然語言處理(NLP)仍面臨巨大挑戰。」
as opposed to~ 而不是=rather than~
Even as AI technology continues to progress, they lack human empathy and the ability to deal with complex emotions. As they can’t understand human emotions, they can’t make sense of pain and suffering.
即便是AI科技不斷進步,但它們依舊無法擁有人類的同理心與處理複雜情緒的能力,由於無法理解人的情感,自然無法苦人所苦、痛人所痛,
empathy(n.)同理心、同感、共鳴make sense of~=understand理解
Unlike humans, they can’t communicate outside of their programming to truly connect with the patients, let alone gain the patients’ trust to help them open up about their problems.
由於無法像人類一樣非公式化地交流談心,更遑說取得患者的信任,讓他們打開心防暢其所言。
unlike(prep.)不像是let alone更不用說=not to mention=much less=still lessopen up暢所欲言;吐露心聲
In the area of diet and nutrition, many companies have already launched apps or online services acting as AI nutritionists. However, AI still cannot provide customized services based on individual cases.
而在營養師方面,目前已有不少業者推出眾多AI營養師的App或線上服務,但是AI卻仍然無法依據不同個案,提出客製化服務,
customized(adj.)客製化的;量身打造的
This is because AI still needs to rely on a nutritionist’s input and expertise. In order for deep learning via big data to be really effective, AI needs to first know a patient’s preferences, lifestyle habits, physical condition, needs and personal background, then taking into account information relating to nutrition, biology, different types of food and even the local customs of different cultures, before deciding the best type of plan and treatment for each individual patient.
原因就是AI仍得靠營養師所回饋的資料,才能進行大數據的機器學習與深度學習,這些資料除了包括要了解病患的喜好、習性、病況需求以及生活背景後,還得再結合營養知識、人體結構、食物特性以及文化習性等多方面資訊,才能進一步決定的治療的方式與優先順序。
rely on~仰賴;依靠=depend on~=count on~expertise(n.)專業知識;專業技能take … into account 把…列入考量=take…into considerationrelating to~和…有關=related to~
Therefore, both psychologists and nutritionists need to learn to utilize AI effectively as an assisting tool.
因此,心理師及營養師都應該學習如何讓AI擔任好「類助理」的角色,
utilize(v.)利用effectively(adv.)有效地
By collaborating with their AI counterparts, psychologists and nutritionists will be able to learn a lot more about their patients, which in turn will enable them to preempt the onset of many illnesses, thus maintaining the health and well-being of an entire nation.
心理師、營養師與AI小老師三者密切合作,相互學習,讓預防重於治療,成為維護國民健康的鐵三角。
collaborate with~和…合作=cooperate with~=work hand in hand with~in turn 於是;因此preempt(v.)先發制人;即早發現而預防the onset of~開始;(疾病)發病
