Enhancing caregiver well being by integrating mindfulness and technology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis care.

This letter discusses the pressing issue of caregiver burden in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) care, emphasizing the potential of mindfulness practices to alleviate stress and improve quality of life for caregivers. The integration of digital platforms, such as mindfulness apps, offers an accessible and effective solution, particularly in resource-limited settings. By adopting these strategies, we can enhance caregiver well-being and overall patient care, making it a crucial consideration for global health interventions.

Time-series analysis with smoothed Convolutional Neural Network.

CNN originates from image processing and is not commonly known as a forecasting technique in time-series analysis which depends on the quality of input data. One of the methods to improve the quality is by smoothing the data. This study introduces a novel hybrid exponential smoothing using CNN called Smoothed-CNN (S-CNN).
