Figure out which residents would most benefit from using the night light in Nobi.

What
When activated, the night light helps the resident to gently illuminate the room as the resident gets out of bed (day and night). The light will gently turn off as the resident gets back into bed. Note that this feature is only available for Single person housing units and individual Jack and Jill rooms.
For more guidance on how the night light works, take a look at our page Set night light.
Please Note: Smart monitoring must be enabled in order to use the Night Light feature.
Why
The night light helps residents see better when they get up to use the bathroom at night, which is often when many falls happen. This can be a great addition to fall prevention, however to some, it may be more of an inconvenience.
Since the night light is triggered by detecting someone at the edge of the bed, it’s not recommended for residents who move their limbs a lot over the edge while sleeping. This might unintentionally turn on the light and wake the resident up. While you may be familiar with the sleeping habits of many residents, it’s good to know that Nobi also offers a tool for this.
Checking night reports for patterns
To determine if the night light feature is suitable for a resident, you can review their night reports. These reports show the time spent in bed versus time out of bed, including sitting on the edge of the bed. If a resident frequently gets out of bed for brief periods throughout the night, this could suggest they often move their limbs over the bed's edge while sleeping. In such cases, the night light could be more disruptive than helpful for these residents.
Check our page Night reports for more information about this.
