Healthcare technicians need to physically restrain patients for extended periods to prevent them from removing critical medical devices, which is exhausting and prevents basic needs like drinking water.
Current restraint methods require constant physical presence and prevent technicians from attending to basic needs, while virtual nurses don't provide the physical restraint needed for high-risk patients.
