In this article you will discover the fall prevention features that Nobi supports and how they help create a safer, more proactive care environment.
What
While Nobi lights can't stop falls from occurring, they can help to prevent falls from happening. These features include Automated Lighting, the Night Light, Monitoring Events, Escalation Analysis, and additional insights such as Night Reports and Resident Insights. Nobi also continues to monitor residents in the dark, meaning fall detection remains active day and night, even when the light is off.
Please Note: Smart monitoring must be enabled in order to use the following features.
Why
Prevention is at the heart of good care. Nobi’s features don’t just respond to incidents, they help reduce risks before they happen and provide valuable insights to improve care over time.
These fall prevention features combine environmental support with data-driven insights:
- Residents move more safely thanks to automated and adaptive lighting
- Care teams receive early signals through monitoring events and reports
- Care shifts from reactive to proactive
- Risks can be identified and reduced based on real situations
These non-invasive features support residents without being intrusive and can be configured per resident, housing unit, department, or site / community.
For an overview of your residents' active fall prevention features and insights, consult the Resident Insights.
Automated Lighting
Automated Lighting helps prevent falls by illuminating the room when a resident enters. Residents don’t need to search for a light switch, especially in low-light situations.
The light can also:
- Turn off automatically when no one is detected
- Be configured with a custom duration before switching off
This ensures a safe and effortless environment without requiring any action from the resident.

Night Light
The Night Light gently illuminates the room when a resident gets out of bed during the night, reducing the risk of falls in the dark. The light turns off automatically when the resident returns to bed.
Depending on the Nobi model, this uses either LED strips or downward lighting.
Please note: This feature is only available for single-person housing units and individual rooms in a Jack & Jill housing unit. Learn more about types of housing units here.

Monitoring Events
Monitoring events help identify potentially risky situations by observing specific activities in a housing unit.
These events can be configured to:
- Log activity silently for later analysis
- Notify staff via the Nobi Mobile App
- Trigger alerts when unusual patterns occur
This allows care teams to act early and prevent incidents before they escalate.

Escalation Analysis
Escalation Analysis provides insight into past escalations through images and videos, helping care teams understand what happened and how to prevent similar situations.
By learning from real situations, care teams can:
- Identify recurring risks
- Adjust room setups or care approaches
- Improve prevention strategies
Please note: In the Nobi application, escalation images can be reviewed for up to 14 days after closure.
Learn more about Escalation Analysis here.
Night Reports
Night Reports provide insight into residents’ nighttime behavior, such as sleep patterns, time in bed, and movement during the night.
These insights help detect early signs of health changes or increased fall risk, enabling proactive care decisions.

Light settings (intensity and colour)
Nobi allows you to tailor light intensity and colour to each resident’s needs and preferences.
This supports:
- Comfort and visibility
- Reduced nighttime disturbance
- A more natural day-night rhythm

Circadian Rhythm support
Nobi lighting can follow a natural rhythm by adjusting brightness and colour throughout the day. This supports residents’ sleep-wake cycles and overall wellbeing, which indirectly contributes to fall prevention.
