This Air Purifier for Large Rooms Is Now Practically Free, Amazon Clears Out 4.5-Star Top Picks
The air you breathe matters more than you might think. Between pollen, pet dander, dust, and whatever's drifting in through open windows, it's easy for indoor air to get a little stale or even irritating. That's where a good air purifier comes in, and if you've been thinking about buying one, now's a good time to jump in. You can get a great machine that can keep all the nasties out of your air at home while cleaning large spaces at a time. Because no one wants to have to buy multiple machines, if they can help it.
Head to Amazon right now to get the Ecoself Air Purifier, which is just $55, down from its usual price of $91. That's $36 off and a discount of 40%.

This unit is built to support spaces up to 700 square feet, so it's good for bedrooms, home offices, small living rooms, or even dorm rooms. Its three-stage filtration system clears your air quickly and includes a pre-filter, a HEPA H13 filter, and an activated carbon filter. All of those components work together to trap dust, smoke, allergens, and odors floating around in the air. If you have pets or allergies, or just want your room to smell a little fresher, this is a good way to do it. Lingering odors are obviously no fun, and breathing in allergens can give you long-term, frustrating illnesses.
This air purifier can do all that and still run completely quietly. Even on higher fan speeds, the noise level stays low enough that it won't interrupt a phone call or disturb your sleep. It also has a touch control panel that's easy to use, and features like a timer, sleep mode, and real-time air quality monitoring to help you keep your space feeling clean and comfortable without expending a lot of unnecessary energy.
Plus, auto mode can detect changes in your air quality and adjust fan speed accordingly, so you don't have to constantly tweak settings. That's helpful if you're cooking, cleaning, or just letting some fresh air in through an open window.
You're getting all this for less than $100. For $55 (-40%), the Ecoself is an even better value. It's a smart buy if you want cleaner air at home without overthinking it. Deals like this don't stick around forever, so if you've been considering a purifier, now's your chance. Or maybe you can gift it to someone else who needs cleaner air.

In Southern California, many are skipping healthcare out of fear of ICE operations
Missed childhood vaccinations. Skipped blood sugar checks. Medications abandoned at the pharmacy. These are among the healthcare disruptions providers have noticed since Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations began in Southern California earlier this month. Across the region, once-busy parks, shops and businesses have emptied as undocumented residents and their families hole up at home in fear. As rumors of immigration arrests have swirled around clinics and hospitals, many patients are also opting to skip chronic-care management visits as well as routine childhood check-ups. In response, local federally qualified health centers — institutions that receive federal funds and are required by law to provide primary care regardless of ability to pay — have been scrambling to organize virtual appointments, house calls and pharmacy deliveries to patients who no longer feel safe going out in public. 'We're just seeing a very frightening and chaotic environment that's making it extremely difficult to provide for the healthcare needs of our patients,' said Jim Mangia, president of St. John's Community Health, which offers medical, dental and mental health care to more than 100,000 low-income patients annually in Southern California. Prior to the raids, the system's network of clinics logged about a 9% no-show rate, Mangia said. In recent weeks, more than 30% of patients have canceled or failed to show. In response, the organization has launched a program called Healthcare Without Fear to provide virtual and home visits to patients concerned about the prospect of arrest. 'When we call patients back who missed their appointment and didn't call in, overwhelmingly, they're telling us they're not coming out because of ICE,' said Mangia, who estimates that 25% of the clinic's patient population is undocumented. 'People are missing some pretty substantial healthcare appointments.' A recent survey of patient no-shows at nonprofit health clinics across Los Angeles County found no universal trends across the 118 members of the Community Clinic Assn. of L.A. County, President Louise McCarthy said. Some clinics have seen a jump in missed appointments, while others have observed no change. The data do not indicate how many patients opted to convert scheduled in-person visits to telehealth so they wouldn't have to leave home, she noted. Patients have also expressed concerns that any usage of health services could make them targets. Earlier this month, the Associated Press reported that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shared the personal data of Medicaid enrollees with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including their immigration status. No specific enforcement actions have been directly linked to the data. 'The level of uncertainty and anxiety that is happening now is beyond the pale,' McCarthy said, for patients and staff alike. County-run L.A. General Medical Center issued a statement on Thursday refuting reports that federal authorities had carried out enforcement operations at the downtown trauma center. While no immigration-related arrests have been reported at county health facilities, 'the mere threat of immigration enforcement near any medical facility undermines public trust and jeopardizes community health,' the department said in a statement. Los Angeles County is among the providers working to extend in-home care options such as medication delivery and a nurse advice line for people reluctant to come in person. 'However, not all medical appointments or conditions can be addressed remotely,' a spokesperson said. 'We urge anyone in need of care not to delay.' Providers expressed concern that missing preventative care appointments could lead to emergencies that both threaten patients' lives and further stress public resources. Preventative care 'keeps our community at large healthy and benefits really everyone in Los Angeles,' said a staff member at a group of L.A. area clinics. He asked that his employer not be named for fear of drawing attention to their patient population. Neglecting care now, he said, 'is going to cost everybody more money in the long run.' A patient with hypertension who skips blood pressure monitoring appointments now may be more likely to be brought into an emergency room with a heart attack in the future, said Dr. Bukola Olusanya, a medical director at St. John's. 'If [people] can't get their medications, they can't do follow-ups. That means a chronic condition that has been managed and well-controlled is just going to deteriorate,' she said. 'We will see patients going to the ER more than they should be, rather than coming to primary care.' Providers are already seeing that shift. When a health team visited one diabetic patient recently at home, they found her blood sugar levels sky-high, Mangia said. She told the team she'd consumed nothing but tortillas and coffee in the previous five days rather than risk a trip to the grocery store. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

NFL linebacker Chad Muma returns to his high school, hosts mini-camp for kids living with Type 1 diabetes
An NFL linebacker who grew up in Colorado returned to the high school he attended on Friday. Chad Muma, who plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars, hosted mini-camp for kids living with Type 1 diabetes. It's a cause that's close to his heart; Muma also lives with Type 1 diabetes. It was held at Legend High School in Broomfield. Muma's foundation is called Muma Movement. The camp featured football-inspired skill stations and other activities. The goal was to empower youth living with Type 1 diabetes. "(I want to) let kids know that their condition does not limit them. The diabetes does not limit them or prohibit them from achieving any of the goals that they want to accomplish in their life, whether it's sports or a different profession," Muma said. The camp also included educational sessions for the kids and their caregivers as well.

First-of-its-kind "smart living home" opens in Washington County
A first-of-its-kind smart living home has opened its doors in Washington County, offering assistive technology to help people with disabilities live independently. The home in Canonsburg opened in May, offering tours and hands-on experiences to families and individuals to see what they could install in their own homes. "So, what we try to do is invite people here so that we can sit with them, understand their goals, and what's more, you know what's most important to them, and help them to find the technology that works for them," Craig Douglass said, the chief administrative officer of Arc Human Services. Arc Human Services is a nonprofit that is dedicated to improving and supporting people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and mental illness. "We think this will really help them. It will help them become more independent. It will help them to be able to stay in their home longer and will help keep them safe in their home and the community," Edward Picchiarini said, the CEO of Arc Human Services. The smart home appears to be any other home, but it contains numerous smart technologies to help individuals live independently. "One of the things we have in the house is a panic button. We call it our 'stranger danger' button," Douglass said. The button can be installed in each room of a home for assistance, like if someone unexpected shows up at the front door. "We tell them that they can hit this red button," Douglass said. Once the button is activated, Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant technology will begin talking and giving instructions. "They'll get a verbal prompt that says, 'Don't open the door,'" Douglass said. The front door will also automatically lock. "Then we'll get a call from a caregiver that will help provide support to that individual," Douglass said. Other options include sensors to detect when a person gets in and out of bed to either turn the lights on or off. Douglass said that in the smart home, a pathway of lights from the bedroom to the bathroom is set up to show what options are available based on an individual's needs. "This is designed to help somebody who maybe gets up in the middle of the night and they have to go to the bathroom. This is a way for us to couple, again, visual prompts to help them navigate to the toilet safely," Douglass said. Each room in the home also has a sensor to ensure safety and support. "It has an AI feature built in that learns what people are doing and is expected," Douglass said. "So, if, like, somebody was, you know, hadn't been up for two hours, and we usually see them up at eight o'clock in the morning, a caregiver will get an alert to let them know something's up." The wide range of technology can also assist in the kitchen. "One of the things we have is a smart microwave. For example, a person with autism may struggle with buttons. So instead of putting a meal in for three minutes, they might accidentally hit an extra zero, and that can be a fire hazard," Douglass said. "So this is tied with an Amazon device, and you can announce to Alexa to turn the microwave on, and it'll set the timer for you automatically." Douglass said you can also ask Alexa to assist in making macaroni and cheese. "Get your pot out of the cabinet beside the stove. The light on the cabinet should be changing colors," Alexa could be heard saying. "Fill the pot with six cups of water. The measuring cup is in the cabinet to the right of the stove. The light where it is located should be changing color." "Alexa will walk them through this routine of making macaroni and cheese," Douglass said. Picchiarini said the technology can be personalized for individual needs to support independence. "Right now, people may have staff with them 24 hours a day, and if they're able to even have a few hours on their own or short periods of time, we think that would be really great for them to be able to experience some independence like that," Picchiarini said.
