Automation Risk

Most tasks require in-person care, empathy, and physical assistance, which are resistant to automation. Routine elements like documentation and scheduling can be augmented or automated with current technology, but the core of the role remains human-centric. AI exposure is moderate, mainly supporting reporting and compliance, but cannot substitute for the essential interpersonal and physical aspects.
