I worry that if this succeeds and we lose the human connection to the patient there exists a slew of problems as the infirm and those with dementia aren't the best at asking for help beyond the immediate surroundings or questioning the status quo.
I'm thinking wrong pills, general error handling and worst case: malicious compromise.
While its nice to see mild benefits I feel bittersweet about any successes given that I feel a better solution to this problem is more human in nature.

On the other hand, the dementia patient is a less reliable witness than a nannycam. Having been in Zora's shoes for my mom I think Zora's got a long way to go, and I fear that we'll get her anyway.
