Breathing room in monitored space: the impact of passive monitoring technology on privacy in independent living.
The author examines articulations of the relationship between privacy and passive monitoring by users and former users of a sensor-based remote monitoring system. This research identifies where boundary intrusion can occur in the use of passive monitoring and how changes to technology design and practice could create opportunities for residents to manage their own boundaries according to their privacy needs.

Initiation of treatment for incident diabetes: evidence from the electronic health records in an ambulatory care setting.
The researchers examined patterns and predictors of initiation of treatment for incident diabetes in an ambulatory care setting in the US. They found that only half of patients were treated during the first year following diabetes incidence, and only 20% of patients received both medication prescription and lifestyle modification interventions.
