- 🚪 Anti-theft Function: Notifies family if a door is opened while the senior is out
- 🚪 Routine Monitoring: Tracks daily routines through door activity logs
Case Study: Mrs. Wong, 80, has mild cognitive impairment. Since installing the door sensor, the system alerted her son when she attempted to go grocery shopping at 3 AM, preventing a potentially dangerous wandering incident.
