Innovative AgeTech Company Will Showcase
Impacts of Its Smart Lamp's AI Capabilities at Prestigious
Event
HOUSTON, May 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Nobi, a provider of innovative AgeTech
solutions, will join global leaders and innovators in artificial
intelligence (AI) along with the humanitarian community at ITU's AI
for Good Global Summit 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland, May 30-31, to showcase how its Smart Lamp is
revolutionizing elder care around the world.
The goal of AI for Good is to identify practical applications of
AI to advance the United Nations (U.N.) Sustainable Development
Goals and scale those solutions for global impact. It's the leading
action-oriented, global and inclusive U.N. platform on AI. AI for
Good is organized by The International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) in partnership with 40 U.N. sister agencies. Nobi's
AI-powered lamp will be among an impressive array of more than 80
demonstrations that exemplify the vast potential of AI scheduled to
take place during the Summit.
Nobi caught the attention of Summit organizers with a runner-up
finish in the AI for Good Innovation Factory's start-up
competition. Organizers asked Nobi to participate in the Summit
because they believe Nobi is an inspiring example of how AI can
make a tremendous impact on society and help advance the U.N's
Sustainable Development Goals.
"It is quite an honor for Nobi to participate in the AI for Good
Summit this year where we will be among key policy makers and
experts from around the world, discussing the possibilities of AI
when it comes to solving the world's biggest societal challenges,"
said Roeland Pelgrims, co-founder
and CEO at Nobi. "The Nobi lamp offers a solution to a global
problem: caring for our aging populations. The positive impacts
from our Smart Lamp installations are far-reaching and specifically
help address three key policy areas defined within the U.N.'s
goals: social care, health and technology innovation."
A notable focus at the Summit will be demonstrations within
healthcare, where AI can revolutionize different aspects of patient
care and well-being, making it more personalized, efficient and
accessible. Around a third of people aged 65 and over, and around
half of all people aged 80 and over, fall at least once a year.
Offering help as quickly as possible is crucial and can be a
lifesaver.
Nobi believes that everyone has the right to an independent,
dignified, and happy life in old age —at home, in the hospital, or
in an assisted-living facility. Fall detection and fall prevention
is the core of Nobi's AI-powered Smart Lamp—watching over the
safety of older adults and supporting caregivers in residential
care homes or hospitals. Nobi lamps help care workers provide more
targeted care and relieve them of impersonal, repetitive tasks.
This gives them more time for warm, personal contact with residents
and patients.
Attending press, politicians and commissioners are invited to
meet with:
- Sue Capstick, program lead at
NHS' Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB).
She is a remarkable social-care figure in the UK, promoting the
benefits of using technology in order to improve care. She can
speak to the inspiring 2023 NHS pilot study at Hartland House, a
31-bedroom care home in the UK, which proved AI's potential. Using
Nobi's Smart Lamps to prevent falls, Hartland House achieved an
84-percent reduction in falls. Hartland House's story isn't just
about stats; it's about empowering its care team and elevating care
standards and has inspired an initiative to roll out Nobi Smart
Lamps in 500 additional care home units by the NHS L&SC
ICB.
- Vera Led, head of DACH at
Nobi. She can discuss and explain how Nobi's AI lamps will be
able to support the UK government's ability to potentially save
more than £410 million in fall-related care costs every
year—in addition to providing a viable remedy to the mounting
pressures faced by care staff throughout the country.
"The UK's support is an inspiration of how government
partnerships can accelerate technology integration," said Led.
"Governmental support can have a big impact on much-needed
implementations of AI in the healthcare sector. By participating in
the AI for Good Summit, we hope to encourage other countries to
discover how AI can make a difference in how their older
populations can age with dignity."
