Enhancing Resident Safety with Nobi Fall Detection Technology

Fall Detection

Fall Detection Technology: Ensuring Immediate Assistance with Nobi

Traditional nurse call systems often leave residents vulnerable in the event of a fall. Many times, residents are unable to press an emergency button due to panic, disorientation, or even unconsciousness. In fact, without advanced fall detection technology like Nobi, up to 64% of falls go unnoticed, leading to potentially severe consequences.

Nobi’s Fall Detection System Guarantees 100% Fall Detection

Nobi’s fall detection system ensures that help is provided immediately, detecting 100% of falls. One of the most critical dangers associated with falls is the risk of "long-lie" incidents, where the individual remains on the floor for extended periods, waiting for assistance. These prolonged delays can lead to serious physical and mental health complications. Nobi reduces the number of long-lie falls to zero, ensuring timely intervention that can make all the difference for seniors, their families, carers, and the broader community.

Average intervention time 3 minutes 7 Seconds

With Nobi, help is dispatched within an average of 3 minutes and 7 seconds, based on real-world results. The system guarantees that residents receive rapid assistance, eliminating the risk of long-lie falls and significantly improving outcomes for those at risk.

How Nobi's Fall Detection Works

Advanced Detection Through Optical Sensors

Nobi uses cutting-edge optical sensors to monitor the entire room, day and night. By tracking 18 precise coordinates on the human body, Nobi detects unusual movements or positions that indicate a fall.

Two-Way Communication for Safety

When Nobi identifies a potential fall, it immediately initiates a safety protocol by asking, “Did you fall?” If the resident’s response is anything other than a clear "no", the system automatically alerts care staff. The lamp also facilitates two-way communication, allowing the resident to speak directly with the care team after a fall has been detected.

Fast Action for Immediate Assistance

Once a fall is confirmed, the alert is pushed to the dashboard or application and integrated with the nurse call system. This allows care staff to respond quickly, with help typically arriving within an average of less than 4 minutes, ensuring the individual receives the support they need in record time.

Fall Analysis for Preventative Measures

A unique feature of Nobi is the ability to access a timeline of static images from 15 seconds before and after the fall. This allows care professionals to analyse the cause of the fall and implement measures to prevent future incidents, further enhancing fall prevention.

Preventing Long-Lie Falls and Enhancing Resident Safety

Nobi's fall detection technology plays a vital role in preventing the potentially devastating effects of long-lie falls. By ensuring immediate assistance and offering continuous room monitoring, Nobi significantly enhances resident safety and well-being. Families and carers can rest assured that their loved ones are in safe hands, with advanced fall prevention measures in place.
