Duration: This quick guide will take about 3 minutes to read through.
What: The auto-snooze feature automatically pauses fall detection when more than one person is detected in the room.
Why: In care settings, it's common for staff to be on the floor, aiding residents with dressing or foot care, inadvertently triggering Nobi's fall detection. To minimize unwanted escalations without compromising safety, auto-snooze kicks in when multiple movements are spotted, ensuring that Nobi only escalates true escalations.
Use case: This feature is especially useful during care routines where staff presence is required on the floor, significantly reducing unnecessary escalations and focusing on actual falls.
Detailed steps:
Awareness: No manual setup is needed. Auto-snooze activates by itself when more than one person is detected in a room.
Dashboard notification: When auto-snooze is active, the dashboard displays 'Snoozed (>1 person)' to indicate the lamp's current status.
Deactivation: Auto-snooze turns off once the lamp detects fewer than 2 people, resuming normal operation. If no movement is detected for 15 minutes by one of the people in the room, auto-snooze will deactivate as well.
Exclusions: Auto-snooze is not enabled in multi-resident housing units.
Cautious operation: If Nobi is uncertain about the situation (e.g., it can't clearly detect multiple people), it will not activate auto-snooze, erring on the side of safety.
Summary
Nobi's auto-snooze feature smartly reduces false alarms during multi-person care activities without needing manual intervention, ensuring that attention is given only to genuine falls.
