Summary: This qualitative study aims to understand the challenges faced by Black/African American (Black/AA) caregivers during home hospice care. The caregivers struggled with symptom management, cultural needs, and the stigma around mental health. They relied on personal religious networks instead of hospice chaplains. Tailored approaches addressing mental health stigma and end of life symptoms can improve outcomes for Black/AA hospice caregivers.

Summary: Approximately 15% of the world's population has disabilities and faces challenges in interacting with home appliances. Existing solutions using command templates fail to understand unstructured commands, and integrating intelligent personal assistant systems with control circuits requires internet connectivity. This research proposes the IRON system, integrated with IoT, to enable disabled individuals to control devices with structured and unstructured voice commands. The system utilizes natural language processing techniques and logistic regression for command classification and control. The simulation results demonstrate accurate device name recognition and efficient command classification within approximately 30 s.

Summary: This study analyzed the utility of internet search query data for identifying the onset of asthma symptoms. Results showed that Google search volume for asthma had the highest correlation at 2 weeks before hospital admission and the ARIMAX model confirmed the significance of Google searches at lags of 1 and 2 weeks. Internet search queries can provide a real-time signal for asthma events and may be useful for measuring the timing of symptom onset.
