Due to Nobi's outstanding pilot results in fall prevention, The Digital Social Care Team at theWZC Hartland HouseNHS L&SC Integrated Care Board (ICB)vandaag om de Belgische Nobi-lampen de komende maanden aan te bieden aan nog eens 50 extra WZC's. In totaal zullen 500 wooneenheden uitgerust worden met Nobi's bewezen AI-technologie voor valpreventie en -detectie. Dit is mogelijk dankzij de financiering vanuit het 'Digital Transformation Fund' van het Britse 'Digitising Social Care Programme'. De komende maanden zal de lokale ICB in haar regio in 50 extra WZC's identificeren waar de slimme lampen de grootste impact kunnen hebben. Selectiecriteria zullen zich richten op de zorggraad van bewoners, de gemiddelde valfrequentie en de bereidheid van het personeel om nieuwe technologieën te omarmen.
Met haar slimme AI-lampen heeft Nobi de ambitie om mensen te ondersteunen om veilig, gelukkig en waardig oud te worden, terwijl het daarnaast vooral ook zorgmedewerkers wil ondersteunen om goede zorg te blijven verlenen in een snel vergrijzende wereld waarin de druk op de zorg- en gezondheidssector steeds groter wordt.
Due to Nobi's outstanding pilot results in fall prevention, The Digital Social Care Team at the NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) have committed to furnishing another 500 care home living units with Nobi's proven fall prevention and detection technology. They are able to do this using funding from Digitising Social Care’s Digital Transformation Fund. Over the coming months the L&SC ICB will assess 50 care homes in the area to identify where the lights could have the greatest impact. Selection criteria will focus on the level of care required by residents, the average rate of falls and the eagerness of staff to embrace new technologies.
Sur la base des excellents résultats de l'étude pilote Nobi dans la maison de soins britannique Hartland House, le NHS L&SC Integrated Care Board (ICB) a décidé aujourd'hui de proposer les lampes belges Nobi dans 50 maisons de soins supplémentaires au cours des prochains mois. Au total, 500 unités de logement seront équipées de la technologie IA éprouvée de Nobi pour la prévention et la détection des chutes. Ceci est rendu possible grâce au financement du "Digital Transformation Fund" du programme britannique "Digitising Social Care Programme". Dans les mois à venir, l'ICB local identifiera dans sa région 50 maisons de soins supplémentaires où les lampes intelligentes peuvent avoir le plus grand impact. Les critères de sélection se concentreront sur le niveau de soins requis par les résidents, la fréquence moyenne des chutes et la volonté du personnel d'adopter de nouvelles technologies.
Avec ses lampes IA intelligentes, Nobi ambitionne de soutenir les personnes pour qu'elles vieillissent en sécurité, heureuses et dignement, tout en aidant surtout les soignants à continuer à fournir de bons soins dans un monde qui vieillit rapidement où la pression sur le secteur de la santé et des soins augmente constamment.
Wie auch in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz laufen in Großbritannien viele öffentliche und private Pilotprojekte mit Nobis intelligenten KI-Lampen zur Sturzerkennung und -prävention in Pflegeheimen. Aufgrund der hervorragenden Ergebnisse der Nobi-Pilotstudie im britischen Pflegeheim Hartland House hat der NHS L&SC Integrated Care Board (ICB) heute beschlossen, die intelligenten KI-Lampen zur Sturzprävention und -erkennung in den kommenden Monaten weiteren 50 Pflegeheimen anzubieten. Insgesamt werden 500 Wohneinheiten mit Nobis erprobter KI-Technologie ausgestattet. In den kommenden Monaten wird der lokale ICB in seiner Region 50 Pflegeheime identifizieren, in denen die intelligenten Lampen die größte Wirkung erzielen können. Die Auswahlkriterien werden sich auf den Pflegegrad der Bewohner, die durchschnittliche Sturzfrequenz und die Bereitschaft des Personals, neue Technologien zu adoptieren, konzentrieren. Mit ihren intelligenten KI-Lampen hat Nobi das Ziel, Menschen zu unterstützen, sicher, glücklich und würdevoll zu altern, während sie gleichzeitig besonders die Pflegekräfte unterstützen, gute Pflege in einer schnell alternden Welt zu leisten, in der der Druck auf den Gesundheits- und Pflegesektor stetig zunimmt.
Die weitere Ausbreitung von Nobi in Großbritannien wird durch die Finanzierung aus dem „Digital Transformation Fund“ des britischen „Digitising Social Care Programme“ ermöglicht.
Succes at Hartland House
In 2023, the British care home Hartland House in Milnthorpe (Cumbria, UK) fitted 8 Nobi-lights for fall prevention and detection. This was part of a pilot project by the NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) of Lancashire & South-Cumbria. After just four months, Hartland House decided that the pilot results were so positive that it wanted to purchase Nobi technology for the other rooms in its nursing home as well.
Today, the NHS L&SC ICB alsodecided to give another 50 care homes in the region the opportunity to integrate Nobi into their facilities. The decision was based on the outstanding results, more specifically the proven prevention of falls.
Leanne Scrogham, Care Manager at Hartland House, and her team have proved how impactful these lights can be when implemented with care and enthusiasm.

Lancashire and South Cumbria prioritising fall prevention
For the L&SC ICB fall prevention is a key part of their local activity. Falls are a leading cause of death among seniors. They are also a contributor to pressure on emergency services. Preventing falls benefits not only seniors and their caregivers and families, as well as the broader healthcare system.
Fall prevention:
- can reduce the number of ambulance callouts,
- decrease hospital admissions,
- lessen the strain on healthcare staff,
- and even reduce the financial burden on the public purse.
Deborah Gent; Project Partner within the Digital Social Care Team in Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB said: "This initiative represents a groundbreaking moment in care—transforming technology-theory into tangible outcomes. After years of substantial investments, our quest to harness technology for fall prevention faced challenges, leaving us without concrete evidence of its efficacy. Today, Nobi changes the narrative. This intuitive AI solution doesn't just mitigate the risk of falls; it unequivocally demonstrates the powerful role of technology in revolutionizing fall prevention, marking a significant leap forward in our approach to healthcare."
Sue Capstick, program lead of Digitisation and Transformation in Social Care added:
"At L&SC ICB, we are fully committed to embracing cutting-edge technologies that aid us in preventing fall incidents. By preventing falls, we also alleviate the strain on our healthcare system by reducing the number of ambulance callouts and hospital admissions. Nobi exemplifies how technology can facilitate a holistic collaboration between social care and healthcare”.
