Nobi and Arseus Medical join forces to distribute ‘smart lamp’ to the professional healthcare market (BeLux)

Antwerp, 21th April 2022 – Arseus Medical becomes the exclusive distributor of Nobi’s smart lamps in Belgium and Luxembourg. As a market leader in innovative medical equipment and care solutions, Arseus Medical is responsible for supplying Nobi lamps to partners and professional care organisations. This is an important step for scale-up Nobi in its ambition to further grow within the professional healthcare market.

Fall detection and fall prevention

The smart lamp Nobi is like a guardian angel watching over older adults 24/7. Artificial intelligence is the core. If patients in healthcare institutions or residents in assisted living centres fall, Nobi provides accurate and immediate alerts to the caregivers. Constant monitoring ensures safety and, therefore, peace of mind. Not only for older adults but also their families and caregivers. In addition to flawless fall detection, the focus is also on fall prevention.When a resident or patient gets out of bed, Nobi automatically switches on the light to avoid falls. With Nobi, caregivers also know when residents or patients get out of bed at night so that they can proactively lend a hand and prevent falls.

Guide in people’s lives

Nobi reminds older adults of their daily activities and visits. It also detects when one has not drunk enough water on hot days. In time, it will measure loneliness and encourage family and caregivers to visit. After all, social contact has a major impact on health and happiness.

From cold to warm contacts, thanks to technology

Everyone deserves to grow old in a dignified, safe and happy manner. That’s not always easy given the global ageing context in which the happiness of more and more older adults is in the hands of fewer and fewer caregivers. Sarah Perneel from Arseus Medical: “The pressure on care workers is increasing day by day, and that will not change any time soon. More and more healthcare institutions are asking us for innovative technologies that can provide an answer to this. Nobi is a fantastic, future-oriented technology that helps provide even more targeted care on the one hand and contributes to a solution for the shortage of care workers on the other. The smart lamp does this by taking over repetitive tasks from busy staff so that their valuable time can be spent on the things that really make a difference to older adults. Nobi helps to shift the focus from their ever-expanding and demanding to-do list to the quality of life and happiness of older adults. Nobi turns busy caregivers into warm contacts.”

Need for powerful players who dare to embrace disruption within healthcare

Nobi deliberately chose Arseus Medical as its distribution partner for the professional market because of similar visions. Roeland Pelgrims, CEO of Nobi: “Daring & disruption are crucial concepts in our search for a structural solution to the increasingly destructive ageing paradox. The happiness of more and more older adults is in the hands of fewer and fewer care workers. At Nobi, we surround ourselves with actors within healthcare and policy who dare to tread unbeaten paths and look beyond the wall in a disruptive way in order to achieve a sustainable future. Because every older adult should have the chance to live in dignity, safety and happiness. Arseus Medical is undoubtedly one of those innovative players that, as a market leader, makes the difference day after day. We really look forward to working with them.”
