Predict peak times & optimize staffing using historical patient admission data, real-time hospital occupancy, and external
                        factors (e.g., flu season, local events, and weather conditions). Balance staff workloads to prevent burnout and ensure
                        fairness. Enable dynamic shift adjustments with automated scheduling that adapts to real-time hospital demand.
                        Traditional scheduling is often manual, inefficient, and leads to overstaffing or understaffing, impacting both hospital costs
                        and patient care quality.
