1.3. Support documentation and escalation protocols by documenting, timestamping, and tracking incidents automatically, while notifying designated caregivers, family members, and medical professionals.

2.2. Sudden changes in mobility (falls, wandering outside safe zones).
2.3. Behavioral escalations (agitation, aggression, confusion, or withdrawal detected via caregiver notes or smart sensors).
