“我们希望通过AI应用延长人均健康预期寿命，提升医疗护理的可及性和质量，在医疗支出刚性增加下为制度财务可持续做好准备，最终打造世界上最智能的医疗保健系统之一。”4月17日，阿布扎比卫生局数字健康执行主任H.E.Ibrahim AI Jallaf在2025阿布扎比全球健康周（Abu Dhabi Global Health Week）描述了阿联酋首都的数字健康愿景。 阿布扎比全球健康周是由阿布扎比卫生局牵头的一项政府倡议，超过15000名参会者和300家企业前来寻觅投资机会。今年的会场内，不少AI医疗产品亮相。一款名为“Sahatna”的手机应用程序吸引不少与会者驻足。人们站在传感器面前，根据指示挥动双臂和双腿，姿势分析工具和生物识别扫描仪即可实时显示BMI、心率、血压等基础信息，并连接到Sahatna上，与患者在医院完成的其他检查内容共同组成健康档案。 Sahatna由阿布扎比政府在去年10月推出，服务范围包括远程咨询、访问健康记录和基因组报告等。一方面，当前100%的医院和诊所被纳入这一系统，超过70%医生是平台的活跃用户，因此患者前往任何一家医疗机构就诊时，相关健康信息能够实现互通；另一方面，患者可以直接预约与医生视频或上门问诊，一个应用程序即可立即访问阿联酋全部医疗服务。 阿布扎比卫生局还将会优化Sahatna的AI症状检查功能。“比如当一个人提问我患糖尿病的风险有多高，我应该服用什么药物，Sahatna会查看并分析他的整个医疗健康记录以及病史，给予一套定制干预方案。如果AI判断情况紧急，则立刻联系急诊。” “我们正在开发基础设施，使先进的数字健康不仅成为可能，而且实用、安全、易于获取。从远程诊断到预测分析，人工智能与健康的融合正在改变医疗服务的提供方式，但关键是政府部门如何利用数据和信息来进行更智慧的监管和优化。”H.E.Ibrahim AI Jallaf说。
2023年8月，奈飞（Netflix）推出了一部纪录片《长命百岁：蓝色宝地的奥秘》（Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones）。这部纪录片一共有4集，每集30到45分钟。它介绍了世界上五个特别的地方：日本冲绳、意大利撒丁岛、哥斯达黎加尼科亚、希腊伊卡利亚岛和新加坡。这些地方的人都很长寿，而且生活得很健康。专家们研究了他们的生活方式，总结出了五个重要的“长寿秘密”。
If you come across a group of people on the street wearing gloves, carrying trash bags, and picking up litter while running, don’t be surprised because they are doing “Plogging.” Plogging combines the Swedish words for “picking up” (plocka) and “jogging” (jogga).
A Swede named Erik lived in a small town in northern Sweden for many years. In 2016, he made a bold decision to move back to the capital, Stockholm, as he had grown tired of small-town life. To his surprise, upon arriving in the capital, he was shocked by what he saw: plastic bottles floating in the rivers, garbage bags flying through the air, and more litter on the streets than he had ever seen before. “It really looked like a garbage dump!” he thought.
Faced with the environmental pollution in the city, Erik felt disappointed. At the same time, he wondered, “Maybe I need to do something about this?” Erik was in the habit of going for runs, so he started trying to pick up litter while jogging. What began as an experiment slowly became a routine. From then on, whenever he went for a run, a trash bag and gloves became Erik’s trademark, and he encouraged his friends to join him in “jogging while picking up trash.”
After finishing their run, some even opened up their trash bags and had competitions with their friends to see who had collected the most litter. Others posted photos of their trash collection on social media, and Plogging quickly became a hot topic.
Plogging not only helps improve the environment, but it’s also beneficial for people’s health, making it a win-win activity. The action of picking up trash resembles doing squats and can effectively strengthen the leg muscles. According to fitness app data, regular jogging burns around 235 calories per hour, while Plogging can burn approximately 288 calories per hour.
Plogging, being both eco-friendly and healthy, has attracted increasing media attention, with many well-known outlets reporting on it. Now, more and more people are aware of Plogging, and even some who aren’t fans of running have started trying it out.
