Can Nomo alert me if my loved one wanders or leaves the house in the middle of the night?
Yes. Nomo allows you to set customizable alerts based on time and activity. For example, you can receive a notification if a door opens between 10 PM and 6 AM. This feature is especially helpful for preventing nighttime wandering and ensuring your loved one stays safe. It also provides peace of mind so that you can rest too.
Does the system require my parent to wear a device or have a smartphone for it to work?
No. Nomo is designed to work passively, meaning your loved one does not need to wear any devices or use a smartphone. This is ideal for Alzheimer’s patients who may forget, refuse, or feel uncomfortable using wearable technology. Remember the key is to promote confidence to preserve a sense of self while monitoring for safety 24/7.
How does Nomo monitor for falls or emergencies without using cameras?
Nomo uses advanced motion sensors to detect changes in movement and activity patterns. It can identify unusual inactivity or disruptions that may indicate a fall or emergency. This approach ensures safety while preserving privacy—no cameras or video feeds are required.
Will I be notified if their daily routine changes, such as missing meals or not using the bathroom?
Yes. One of Nomo’s key strengths is tracking daily routines over time. If there are noticeable changes—such as reduced kitchen activity or fewer bathroom visits—you can receive alerts. These insights can help you detect potential health issues early.
Does the system rely on Wi-Fi, and what happens if the internet connection is lost?
Nomo systems are designed with reliability in mind. While they use connectivity for alerts and updates, many setups include backup options to help ensure continued monitoring even if Wi-Fi is temporarily disrupted. This provides added peace of mind during unexpected outages.
