Health Workers Aim to Save Lives of Mothers, Babies with Smartphone Data

A new project in India and Uganda is aimed at helping health workers save the lives of mothers and babies with information from electronic devices.

The $100 million project is 【1】 by the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and other groups. Officials plan to 【2】 the project to a total of 10 countries. The goal is to 【3】 the premature deaths of 6 million women and children by 2030.

Raj Shah is president of the Rockefeller Foundation, which leads the project. The group is providing $60 million of the $100 million 【4】 cost. Shah said the plan is to give health workers low-cost tools to help them gather the information they need to help communities and families most at risk.

The project will provide 【5】 such as real-time risk maps to help health workers reach mothers and children. Workers also will be able to study non-health data on climate or social media patterns to predict and prepare for local disease 【6】 or health emergencies.

Shah told Reuters, "A few years ago, these community health workers had no real technology ... today the vast majority of them have smartphones with data and software technologies in their hands --- and with those, we can help them do their work better."

A U.N. report published last week 【7】 that more women and newborn babies survive now than ever before. But the report said that a baby or a 【8】 woman still dies every 11 seconds somewhere in the world.

Deaths of mothers are nearly 50 times higher for women in sub-Saharan Africa than in 【9】 countries. The report also found that babies in Sub-Saharan Africa are 10 times more 【10】 to die in their first month of life.

Last week our class has a heated discussion on Earth Hour. Different students hold different opinion about this activity. About 60% of the students are in favor of it. Which is known to us all, global warming is a big problem in the world. Earth Hour can raise people’s awareness of global warming. However, turning off lights for an hour is energy-saving. Only through our joint efforts can we make it our earth a better place to live. However, about 40% of the students say this activity is not very meaningful. They think it is only a show or that it makes no difference. What’s more, turning off lights for an hour may cause inconvenient to people’s life, work and study. In our opinion, this activity is of great importance. But one activity alone is not enough if we want to save energy and protecting our earth. Let’s act through our day-to-day habits.

Go hi-tech this holiday

If you’ve been searching for a reason to pick up that latest gadget, then what better time than Christmas? There’s no shortage of innovative, forward-thinking and futuristic products on the market today, as technology takes center stage on many people’s festive wish lists. Here, we offer a festive gadget(小玩意)【1】 that will help you take a closer look at three of tech’s hottest categories.

Virtual reality

VR

Probably the most exciting tech development of recent times, virtual reality (VR) has arrived, with enough options 【2】 to the consumer who’s searching for an extra dose of high-tech fun this Christmas. The cheapest way to get a high-end VR experience comes courtesy of Sony. Its PlayStation VR doesn’t require a tricked-out PC or expensive phone - it works with the Playstation 4 console and comes with a few great games in its library. There are some accessories you can purchase to 【3】 the experience, but if you’ve already got a PS4 you can enter the world of VR for just $400 (2780 yuan). 2016 has been the year of VR and as such many 【4】 to Sony’s creation exist. High-end offerings like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, as well as mobile options like Samsung’s Gear VR, will get your head in the game.

Wireless headphones

【5】 ease of use with the ability to move freely around your home, gym or workplace, wireless headphones just make sense. And there are plenty of viable(可行的) options to 【6】 any budget. The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are definitely worth a test drive, though. The full-size, around-ear Bluetooth headphones 【7】 active noise cancellation and double as a headset for making phone calls. They’ve even earned the Editor’s Choice award at Cnet.com and can be snapped up for less than $400 online. Beats has worked its way firmly into the market and its Studio Wireless headphones are a popular choice, especially as you can now find them much cheaper than their 【8】 $379 asking price by searching around online.

Digital cameras

While your phone is a worthy sidekick, there’s no 【9】 for a real camera when it comes to taking the perfect picture. And these days you can get quality specifications in a package that’s almost as small as your smartphone. The sleek design of the Fujifilm X70, $699 (4,850 yuan), makes it the perfect companion, or you could go retro with the Olympus PEN-F ($1,200) that offers old school looks alongside cutting edge technology. Domestically, it’s worth checking out Xiaomi’s mirrorless Yi M1 for a more 【10】 option. With a high-end 20-megapixel sensor and the ability to host multiple lenses, it’s available from just 2,199 yuan.

Today, the events 【1】 in realistic-looking or-sounding video and audio recordings need never have happened. They can instead be 【2】 automatically, by powerful computers and machine-learning software. The catch-all term for these computational productions is “deepfakes”.

The term first appeared on Reddit, a messaging board, as the username for an account which was producing 【3】 videos. An entire community 【4】 up around the creation of these videos, writing software tools that let anyone automatically 【5】 one person’s face onto the body of another. Reddit shut the community down, but the technology was out there. Soon it was being applied to political 【6】 and actors.

Tools for editing media 【7】 have existed for decades—think Photoshop. The power and peril of deepfakes is that they make fakery cheaper than ever before. Before deepfakes, a powerful computer and a good chunk of a university degree were needed to produce a realistic fake video of someone. Now some photos and an Internet connection are all that is required.

The consequences of cheap, widespread fakery are likely to be 【8】, albeit slow to unfold. Plenty worry about the possible impact that believable, fake footage of politicians might have on civil society—from a further loss of trust in media to the 【9】 for electoral distortions. These technologies could also be deployed against softer targets: it might be used, for instance, to bully classmates by creating imagery of them in embarrassing situations. In a world that was already saturated with 【10】 imagery, deepfakes make it plausible to push that even further.
