Objectives Our objective was undertake a systematic review narrative synthesis empirical research that focused access interventions improve maternity for immigrant women, including qualitative, quantitative mixed-methods...

As Internet of Things (IoT) technologies become embedded in public infrastructure, it is important that we consider how they may introduce new challenges areas such as privacy and governance. Public technology implementations can be more democratically developed by facilitating citizen participation during the design process, but this challenging.
