This could simply be tracked as an event rate for the character. If the
event rate is low enough, then the character can be assumed to have enough
free attention and time to care for himself. If the event rate is higher,
the character is driving himself past the limits of his normal care
routine.
Note: In this context an event is defined as a state change to the
character, or a pro-active action by the character.
