If I slip and fall in the bathroom, will Nomo detect the fall?
According to CDC reports, over 235,000 people visit emergency rooms each year due to bathroom injuries. The bathroom is considered the most dangerous room in the house, especially for older adults. If you slip in the bathroom, you can’t always access your phone or communicate with loved ones, caregivers, or emergency contacts. Nomo is designed to do it for you, detecting sudden changes in movement, including falls. The wearable tags can be worn in the shower, sending out automatic real-time alerts as a safety net and powerful layer of protection, especially if someone lives alone.
How can I install Nomo elderly fall alert technology in my mother’s home?
Installing Nomo technology in your loved one’s home is simple and stress-free. Place the Nomo hub in a central location and plug the satellite sensors into the electrical outlets on the wall throughout the environment. The hub connects to Wi-Fi and extends its range, sending real-time data to your phone or instant alerts to your Care Circle. Each sensor can detect falls, movements, or alarms. The wearable Nomo tags can be placed on a surface or worn as a pendant. Once Nomo is installed, you’ll receive updates remotely through the app, helping you stay connected and responsive even when you aren’t physically present.
Who should use a fall detection system?
An elderly fall detection and alert system is a life-saving tool if your loved one has experienced a previous fall, uses a walker or cane, or has a medical condition that affects balance. They’re perfect for anyone who is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or coping with arthritis, vision problems, vision problems, limited mobility, or mild memory loss. If you’re a caregiver who wants to protect your loved one should an emergency arise and you can’t be present 24/7, fall detection systems are invaluable.
Do I need to wear something for Nomo to work?
You don’t need to wear a device for Nomo to work properly, because its satellites and hub can monitor movements and patterns even when a tag isn’t worn, but wearing a tag can detect falls instantly, making a big difference when there’s an emergency. The tag can attach to a lanyard around the neck or be kept in a pocket, and it functions as a panic button for added protection when help is needed.
Can Nomo work without the internet?
Nomo Smart Care needs a stable Wi-Fi connection to function effectively. Without internet access, its features like fall detection, caregiver alerts, and real-time connection to emergency services are disabled.
Does Nomo use cameras in my house?
Nomo’s advanced technology doesn’t use cameras but is discreet, so it won’t compromise your loved one’s privacy. Nomo sensors use motion-based technology to notify you when routines change or someone falls. It offers safety and smart protection without intrusion for seniors who value their independence.
Is Nomo covered by insurance or Medicare?
Nomo Smart Care isn’t currently covered under standard Medicare or private insurance plans. But you may be able to use funds in a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for it, especially if your loved one’s physician recommends its use because of its fall detection capabilities.
