In this article you will discover how Nobi can integrate with the wearable call button version 1.
What
The wearable call button version 1 allows residents to call for help via a bluetooth button. This button can be worn around the neck as a pendent, or in a wristband. When pressed, the button sends a call request to care staff through the Nobi system.
This version is paired to a housing unit, not to an individual resident. The housing unit may contain one or multiple Nobi lights, but the call request will always be linked to that specific housing unit.
This means:
The alert will show as coming from that housing unit.
The button works within range of the Nobi light(s) installed in that housing unit.
If the resident moves outside that housing unit, the button will not function.
The wearable call button version 1 uses a rechargeable battery that must be charged regularly. If the battery is empty, the button will not send a call request.
The button can be worn as a bracelet or necklace and is fully waterproof, making it safe for use in the bath or shower. It is lightweight and designed for daily use.
Important limitations of Version 1:
The button is linked to a housing unit, not to a resident.
The alert location is always the paired housing unit.
It only works within that housing unit.
It requires regular charging.
It does not function independently outside the configured housing unit.
This version is no longer being distributed and will be replaced by the newer Wearable Call Button, which is connected to a resident as opposed to a housing unit. This means call can be made from anywhere in the care facility.

Why
Not every moment of need is a fall. With the wearable call button version 1, residents can ask for help at any moment—discreetly and directly.
However, because this version is tied to a specific housing unit and depends on battery charge, its use is limited to that environment and those conditions.
When pressed within the configured housing unit and with enough battery, the call request follows the same escalation procedure as a fall and notifies care staff accordingly.
