What
A Badge is a small device that connects a caregiver to a Nobi light. When the Badge is assigned, Nobi automatically knows who enters the room, when care is given, and who responds to calls or escalations—without the caregiver needing to do anything.
Why
Badges make daily care moments visible, without extra work. Nobi records how long someone was in a housing unit, what care was provided, and how many escalations were handled. This helps you plan shifts, balance workloads, and recognise everyone’s efforts.
Assigning a Badge is quick: open the app, scan the Badge, select the user, and save.

Please note: In order to use this feature, please make sure NFC is enabled on your device. Devices without NFC are not able to read Nobi Badge.
