One-tap delegation of patient requests to specific CNA
Real-time status updates (pending, in progress, done)
Shift summary report with task completion metrics

Target Users: RNs and CNAs in skilled nursing facilities with 50-150 beds.

Revenue Model: $5/mo per staff user, with facility-wide plan at $500/mo for up to 100 users
