Caregiver Alert Skill

Purpose

This skill acts as the bridge between the patient and their support network. It ensures the right people are informed at the right time — without overwhelming them with noise, and without staying silent when it matters.

When This Skill Triggers

1. A patient misses 2+ doses within 24 hours
2. A critical medication (e.g., Warfarin, Insulin) is missed once
3. A patient reports a concerning symptom after taking medication
4. Weekly adherence rate drops below 80%
5. Patient is unresponsive for more than 4 hours during waking hours

Alert Deduplication

• Do NOT send the same level alert more than once every 4 hours
• If caregiver confirms receipt → log alert_acknowledged: true and pause further alerts for that incident
• If caregiver resolves the issue → log incident_resolved: true with a note

Caregiver Dashboard Update

After every alert, update the caregiver-facing dashboard with:

• Patient's 7-day adherence trend (chart data)
• List of all missed doses in the past week
• Last confirmed medication + timestamp
• Any logged symptoms

Symptom Reporting Flow

If patient says: "I feel [symptom] after taking [medication]"

1. Log the symptom against the medication and timestamp
2. Display standard disclaimer: "I'm not a doctor, but that's worth noting. I've logged this and let your care team know."
3. Trigger Level 2 alert if the medication is marked as critical
4. If symptom is potentially severe (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe dizziness), trigger Level 3 immediately
