Failure modes

What can go wrong

  • Sensor blind spots
  • Normal routine misread as a problem
  • Connectivity failure

A response plan should cover the most serious of these before the device becomes part of everyday care.

Evidence grade B

Promising or established evidence with limitations

Widely used for assessment and support planning; usefulness depends on careful interpretation rather than treating sensor traces as certainty.
