With its smart lights for fall detection and prevention, Nobi helps the elderly live happily, independently and with dignity. Nobi is committed to the safety of residents but also to improving how care staff work.
Nobi now proudly presents the Nobi Snooze Feature that combines 2 functions to support care staff in their daily work: easy deactivation of the Nobi alarm and the 15-minute fall detection pause.
Thanks to a simple push of a button in the resident's room, the new feature guarantees a smooth working day and frees up time for care staff so they can do what really matters: provide personalised care that makes a difference in the lives and happiness of residents in residential and care homes.
How does the Nobi Snooze Feature contribute to a smooth working day?
- Easily deactivate the Nobi alarm with a single press of the push button
Caregivers can easily switch off the Nobi alarm by pressing the Nobi push button in the resident's room. Other care staff immediately know that help has already been provided. Of course, the option to deactivate the alarm via the Nobi platform remains possible. - 15-minute fall detection pause
Care staff and cleaning staff may sometimes set off the Nobi alarm unintentionally, such as when cleaning under a cupboard or retrieving a fallen book from under a bed. This can be avoided by activating the Nobi Snooze Feature with a single press of a push button: the fall detection is then paused for 15 minutes while the light function and the ability to call for help remain activated. Nobi automatically activates fall detection after 15 minutes.

Q&A
When the 15-minute timespan has passed, the button can be pressed again to extend the snooze for another 15 minutes.
When providing care, a caregiver is unlikely to be in a position that could be construed as a fall for more than 15 minutes. By limiting the time of the Snooze Feature, we reduce the risk of fall incidents when family members or caregivers leave the room before the snooze time has passed.
The feature cannot be adapted to individual users or situations at the present time, however, in case of an emergency, the feature has been developed in such a way that we can still adjust it.
