The rewards and challenges of self-managing National Disability Insurance Scheme: Exploration of parental perspectives.
Aust Occup Ther J

School of Primary and Allied Health Care, Monash University, Peninsula Campus, Frankson, VIC, Australia.
Introduction: Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), participants can self-manage their funding. This management style largely deviates from previous Australian service systems. The self-management option provides NDIS participants flexibility and choice in accessing any services; however, it generates an administrative burden.

Background: With substantial resources allocated to develop virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation exercise programs for poststroke motor rehabilitation, it is important to understand how patients with stroke perceive these technology-driven approaches, as their perceptions can determine acceptance and adherence.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the perceptions of patients with stroke regarding an immersive VR-based exercise system developed to deliver shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and reaching exercises.
Methods: A questionnaire was used to assess the perceptions of 21 inpatients who had experienced stroke (mean time from stroke onset: 37.
Electromagnetic metamaterial agent.

Metamaterials have revolutionized wave control; in the last two decades, they evolved from passive devices via programmable devices to sensor-endowed self-adaptive devices realizing a user-specified functionality. Although deep-learning techniques play an increasingly important role in metamaterial inverse design, measurement post-processing and end-to-end optimization, their role is ultimately still limited to approximating specific mathematical relations; the metamaterial is still limited to serving as proxy of a human operator, realizing a predefined functionality. Here, we propose and experimentally prototype a paradigm shift toward a metamaterial agent (coined metaAgent) endowed with reasoning and cognitive capabilities enabling the autonomous planning and successful execution of diverse long-horizon tasks, including electromagnetic (EM) field manipulations and interactions with robots and humans.

Department of Information Science, Cornell University, New York, NY, United States.
Background: Digital and wearable intervention systems promise to improve how people manage their behavioral health conditions by making interventions available when the user can best benefit from them. However, existing interventions are obtrusive because they require attention and motivation to engage in, limiting the effectiveness of such systems in demanding contexts, such as when the user experiences alcohol craving. Mindless interventions, developed by the human-computer interaction community, offer an opportunity to intervene unobtrusively.

Apple's new hearing health experience with AirPods Pro 2 was released this Fall of 2024, allowing any user with a compatible iPhone and AirPods Pro 2 to perform hearing tests and use the device as a hearing aid for perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. This innovation may increase accessibility to hearing testing and hearing augmentation for the public but there are many potential drawbacks that will impact hearing loss care. The advent of AirPods Pro 2 and the inevitable arrival of similar devices to the market will alter the clinical practice.
