A part-time forensic nurse with on-call responsibilities experiences severe anticipatory anxiety around pager notifications, leading to panic attacks and sleep disruption.

Existing on-call communication methods (pagers) do not address the psychological burden of anticipation and uncertainty; no tools exist to help on-call workers manage anxiety or predict call likelihood.
