Nursing students and staff lack a reliable system to track and follow up on patient care tasks like bed pan removal, leading to dangerous oversights in high-stress, understaffed environments.
Existing solutions (call lights, verbal reminders) fail because they rely on memory and coordination across overwhelmed staff, no automated tracking or accountability.
