Fitness trackers can help you reach your goals, if you have a plan to stay motivated...and if you can afford one in the first place. RecycleHealth, a program based at Tufts University, is collecting donated trackers to help with the second half of that equation.
健康追蹤器能夠幫助你達到自己的目標,只要你的計劃能夠讓你保持積極的狀態(tài)……前提是你買得起。健康回收機構是塔夫斯大學的一個項目,手機捐獻的追蹤器來幫助它實現(xiàn)之后的價值。
“What if those least likely to buy or afford wearables were actually the ones who would benefit most from their use?” the group asks. If you’ve grown bored with your tracker, or if you loved it so much you’ve already upgraded to a newer version, you can donate the one that’s collecting dust by mailing it to RecycleHealth, postage-free. There are also drop-off locations in New York and Boston.
團隊問道“要是那些買不起可穿戴設備的人,實際上是那些最可能從它們的使用過程中受益的人呢?”如果你對自己的追蹤器已經(jīng)厭惡了,或者是你非常喜歡這一產(chǎn)品而且已經(jīng)升級到了新的版本,你就可以將其通過郵寄方式捐獻給回收廢品的健康回收機構,貨到付款即可。紐約和波士頓也有回收站。
The donated trackers aren’t just handed out, although that’s a possibility for the future. For now, RecycleHealth gives them to researchers who are trying to find out whether tracker-based fitness programs can help low-income seniors, for example, or veterans with mental health issues.
捐獻的追蹤器并不僅僅是捐獻出來,雖然這是將來的一種可能性。現(xiàn)在,健康回收機構將這些捐獻的追蹤器交給了研究人員,他們想弄清楚追蹤器健康項目能否幫助低收入的老年人,比如那些有心理健康問題的退伍老兵。
