Assessing the impact of energy coaching with smart technology interventions to alleviate energy poverty.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Media Technology and Interaction Design, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Lindstedtsv. 3-5, Stockholm, 100 44, Sweden.
Energy poverty affects 550,000 homes in the Netherlands yet policy interventions to alleviate this issue are rare. Therefore, we test two energy coaching interventions in Amsterdam: a static information group (n = 67) which received energy efficient products and one energy-use report, and a smart information group (n = 50), which also had a display providing real-time feedback on energy-use. Results across both groups, show a 75% success rate for alleviating energy poverty.

Purpose Of Review: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has produced a significant impact across various industries, including healthcare. In the outpatient clinic setting, AI offers promising improvements in efficiency through Chatbots, streamlined medical documentation, and personalized patient education materials. On the billing side, AI technologies hold potential for optimizing the selection of appropriate billing codes, automating prior authorizations, and enhancing healthcare fraud detection.

Hand (N Y)
December 2024
Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The review focuses on episode-based bundled payment models for hand surgery as a means to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient care.
- Traditional fee-for-service models are ineffective in promoting collaboration among healthcare providers, while bundled payments encourage team-based approaches and resource optimization.
- Current literature suggests that implementing these models could lead to cost savings and better patient outcomes, warranting further trials in hand surgery.
Assessing inequities in electrification via heat pumps across the US.

Heat pumps are an energy-efficient and increasingly cost-effective solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector. However, other clean energy technologies, such as rooftop solar, are less likely to be adopted in underserved communities, and thus policies incentivizing their adoption may funnel support to well-resourced communities. Unlike previously studied technologies, the effects of heat pumps on household energy bills may be positive or negative depending on local climate, energy costs, building features, and other factors.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
December 2024
From the Division of Plastic Surgery, NewYork-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, NY.
Background: Microsurgical technique is still not readily available in many low- and middle-income countries. Few works in the scholarly literature describe the establishment of microsurgical practice on the African continent, and there are virtually no descriptions of the financial aspects of free flap performance by locally staffed teams in sub-Saharan Africa. The Kapsowar Hospital is a hospital in rural Kenya with 2 plastic and reconstructive surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has recently expanded clinical practice to include microsurgical procedures.
