A win-win, or so it seems — until you question whether this is a genuine solution or a Band-Aid on a societal wound.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Social services are thrilled, praising the remote monitoring capabilities. The AI alerts caregivers if a senior skips medication or hasn’t moved for 24 hours, easing the burden on an overstretched care system.
