Learn how the auto-snooze feature helps minimize false fall alerts during floor-level care activities.
What
The auto-snooze feature automatically pauses fall detection when more than one person is detected in a single occupancy room. This feature is built into Nobi(ta) lights and requires no manual setup. It's important to note that if Nobi is uncertain about the situation, it will not activate auto-snooze, prioritizing safety.
Why
In care settings, staff often assists residents with tasks like dressing or foot care on the floor, which can unintentionally trigger Nobi's fall detection. To minimize unnecessary escalations without compromising safety, auto-snooze activates when multiple movements are detected, ensuring that Nobi only escalates true falls. To ensure no falls go unreported, auto-snooze is not enabled in multi-resident housing units.
Auto-snooze in practice
Awareness: Auto-snooze activates automatically when more than one person is detected in a single occupancy room. To activate auto-snooze, both people need to move around the room enough for Nobi to detect multiple people. This is a built-in safety measure to prevent a static object that could be seen by the light as a person (e.g. a drawing or painting of a person) from invoking auto-snooze. Once activated, movement is no longer a requirement and it remains active until there is only one person again.
Dashboard notification: When auto-snooze is active, the dashboard displays 'Snoozed (>1 person)' to indicate the light's current status.
Deactivation: Auto-snooze turns off once the light detects fewer than 2 people, resuming normal operation. If no movement is detected for 15 minutes by one of the people in the room, auto-snooze will deactivate as well.
