Alerts System

The Alerts feature provides real-time monitoring of patient health data, triggering notifications when values exceed configured thresholds.

Overview

Alerts are generated automatically when patient questionnaire responses or health metrics cross predefined thresholds. The system enables care teams to quickly identify and respond to patients requiring attention.
