Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: "I am so excited about this form of technology."Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. "I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was and signals a completely new example in the way we manage healthcare.The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.He found the technique forecast outcomes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. "This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient/9 Prof Young said, "Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.” 1、What does the underlined phrase “screen" in Paragraph2 mean?B. treat.A. comfort.C. spot.D. nurse.2、How do supercomputers help save lives?A.

Engineering teams from Shakopee East and West junior high schools designed models of several devices to make their disabled partners'lives easier. Some of the simplest ideas were the most useful, such as an adjustable chair to help a child put his or her shoes on. They also came up with special building blocks that can help blind babies learn by touch.In an education system driven by exams, engineering teacher TJ Hendrickson said the project gave students the chance to create something they could actually see fbr themselves. "Students stopped worrying about their grades and started worrying about failing their clients,said Hendrickson, a teacher at Shakopee West Junior High.Group projects encourage teamwork and motivate students differently from independent projects.
