Camera-free elderly monitoring
Elderly monitoring without cameras.
Radar reads movement, not faces.
Families want to know their parents are safe. Parents want their privacy, most of all in the bathroom and bedroom. NoBlink uses radar sensors instead of cameras, so you do not have to choose between the two.
How radar keeps watch without seeing
Each NoBlink sensor sends out low-power radio waves and listens for the reflections, a little like the way a bat uses echoes to find its way in the dark. From those reflections it can tell where a person is, how they are moving, and whether they suddenly dropped to the floor or have stayed still for too long.
What it cannot do is form a picture. There is no image of a face, a body or a room, at any point. That is also why it keeps working through shower steam and with the lights off, where a camera would be useless.
What NoBlink knows
- Whether someone is in the room
- Whether they are moving or still
- A sudden drop to the floor
- When someone gets out of bed
- Patterns of activity over time
What it never sees
- Faces
- Bodies or clothing
- What is on a screen or a page
- Anything to photograph or film

Common questions
How can a sensor detect a fall without a camera?
Radar sends out low-power radio waves and measures how they reflect off a moving body. That shows where a person is, how fast they are moving and whether they suddenly dropped, without ever capturing what they look like.
Can NoBlink record video or see faces?
No. NoBlink’s bathroom, room and bed sensors have no camera, so there is no video or photo to record, store or leak.
Who can see my parent’s data?
You, and the family members or caregivers you add on the NoBlink app. Within NoBlink, only people who need it to run and support the service can access it.
Where is the data stored?
