文章阅读
这篇阅读没有前几篇那么吃力,但是在字里行间还是有很多“陷阱”,有很多乍看觉得理解的句子,结果发现都理解得不透彻,看了群里面小伙伴的讨论,我才有了更进一步的认识。
就如群里面的lucas所说,这篇文章着重探讨的是高新技术对于医疗行业的影响。而文末的一句,digital health care will be the patients who receive better treatment,and those who avoid becoming patients at all,则表明了作者对于高新技术在医疗方面应用的美好期待。
毫无疑问,身体是我们最关心的事物了,特别是在生病的时候,可是由于医疗行业的进入壁垒较大,而且有些过程并不完全公开透明。所以说消费者可谓是弱势状态,而高新技术的运用的确可以肩负起改变这一困境的使命。首先,当人们能够随时了解自己的身体状况的时候,人们可以提前重视,做出改变的计划,避免生病;其次,当人们不得已生病住医院的时候,也不用担心有些医院为了牟取药品的利润而开许多本没有必要开的药。
个人反思
对比了一下Annie老师的思维导图,发现老师的结构和上篇文章的一样,是抓住主要涉及的利益方,这样比较简洁明晰,而且也涵盖了有用的细节。而我则是大致跟着段落顺序,做出的归纳,细节较少,所以这是需要改进的地方。抓住主要的stakeholders也是一个需要训练的技巧。
