Learn how to consult images of an escalation to better assess the situation.
5 min task
What
When Nobi triggers an escalation due to a fall or a resident pressing the call button, you can view the images of the escalation to assess the situation. Depending on the resident’s privacy settings, you may see no image, stick figure images, blurred images, or the actual images.
Nobi adds descriptions to each image, such as ‘lying on the floor,’ to clarify what’s happening. You can access these images during the escalation and for up to 14 days afterwards. Additionally, for as long as the escalation is open, you have the option to request new images to get an updated view of the current situation.
Why
Being able to view the images of an escalation is helpful for multiple reasons. During the escalation some visual assessment can be crucial in deciding the type of response required. After the event, analyzing the images of the fall can provide insights and can help you understand and stop future falls. This can be done because Nobi does not only show the images of the fall but also the images leading up to the fall.
Consulting images and video of an escalation
Depending on the type of escalations, different images will be shown.
| Type of escalation | Images shown | Able to request a new image (open escalation)? |
| Fall | Images leading up to fall, and fall itself | Yes |
| Call button / Pull cord / Wearable Call button version 1 | Images leading up to the call button being pressed | Yes |
| Wearable call button | Analysis not possible | Analysis not possible |
| Assistance call (Badge) | Analysis not possible | Analysis not possible |
Viewing images and video during and after an escalation involves different steps, so we've separated the instructions for each scenario to make it easier to follow. In this example, we want to consult the images for a resident who has chosen for the actual images of a fall to be available.
Please note, analysis is not possible for Wearable calls and Assistance calls.
