Does personality matter: examining the value of personality insights for personalized nudges that encourage the selection of learning resources.

Nudging is a mechanism aimed at influencing people's behavior while maintaining the individual's freedom of choice. Nudges have been adopted in learning contexts where individuals are responsible for shaping their learning and, at the same time, receive guidance from the system. Not everyone responds to nudges in the same way.

Using Machine Learning to Predict Unplanned Hospital Utilization and Chemotherapy Management From Patient-Reported Outcome Measures.

Purpose: Adverse effects of chemotherapy often require hospital admissions or treatment management. Identifying factors contributing to unplanned hospital utilization may improve health care quality and patients' well-being. This study aimed to assess if patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) improve performance of machine learning (ML) models predicting hospital admissions, triage events (contacting helpline or attending hospital), and changes to chemotherapy.

Palliative Care Needs and Integration of Palliative Care Support in COPD: A Qualitative Study.

Background: The provision of palliative care for severe COPD remains low, resulting in unmet needs in patients and carers.

Research Questions: What are the palliative care needs of patients living with severe COPD and their caregivers? What views of accessing and providing palliative care and factors influence these experiences. To what extent have palliative care and COPD services been integrated?

Study Design And Methods: A multicentre qualitative study was undertaken in COPD services and specialist palliative care in the United Kingdom involving patients with severe COPD, their carers, and health professionals.
