Bathroom sensor
No camera, so it can go where privacy matters most. It works through shower steam and in the dark, in the room where floors get wet and watches come off.

Fall detection for the elderly.
Nothing to wear.
NoBlink watches the home, not the wrist. Small radar sensors on the wall notice a fall or a long, unusual stillness and call family straight away, so a parent who lives alone is not relying on a pendant left on the bedside table.
What watches the home
NoBlink is a camera-free fall detection system built for Indian homes and senior living. The sensors stay in the room, so nobody has to remember to put anything on.
Room sensor
For the bedroom, hall and living room. It reads movement and stillness through the day and night, without a camera and without anything to wear.
See the complete setup
Bed monitor
Notices when your parent gets out of bed, which matters at night when trips to the bathroom in the dark are a common time for falls. It also tracks sleep over time.
How the bed monitor fits inWhat it is built to catch
Falls of every kind
- Sudden, hard falls, like a slip on a wet floor
- Slow slides down to the floor, when legs give way
- Collapses in stages, such as sinking to the knees first
Long, unusual stillness
- No movement for much longer than usual
- A person who sat down and could not get up again
- A far longer stay in the bathroom than normal
No fall detection system catches every single fall, and we would rather tell you that upfront. What NoBlink removes is the biggest gap of all: protection that only works if someone remembered to wear it.
How contactless fall detection works
From the moment something looks wrong to the moment your family hears about it.
01The sensor notices
A radar sensor on the wall picks up a fall, or a long stillness that does not look right. Your parent does not have to press or say anything.
02NoBlink checks it
NoBlink looks at how the body moved, such as how fast it dropped and whether it stayed down, to confirm it looks like a real fall before raising the alarm.
03Family gets a call
Automatic voice calls go to the family members, neighbours or caregivers you have chosen. If the first person does not answer, NoBlink escalates to the next.
04An alert on the app
A push alert on the NoBlink app shows what happened and in which room, so everyone in the family knows at the same time, wherever they are.
Why not a watch
Wearables miss the falls that matter.
A watch or pendant only works if it is on the person and charged. Baths, overnight charging and “I will put it on later” are exactly when families need it most. In a UK study of people over 90, those who fell alone and could not get up did not use their call alarm in 8 out of 10 falls.
- Taken off for a bath
- Left on the charger overnight
- Not worn on a sleepy trip to the bathroom
- Not pressed by someone who is hurt or confused
Where we install, and what the home needs
Our own installer fits the sensors in Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune and Gurugram. Each sensor goes high on the wall, plugs into a nearby power point and joins the home Wi-Fi. There is nothing for your parents to learn.
Home Wi-Fi
A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for the sensors to connect to.
A power point
A socket near each sensor. If power or Wi-Fi drops, the app shows the sensor may be paused.
Common questions
What is a fall detection device that does not need a wearable?
It is a sensor that stays in the room instead of on the person. NoBlink mounts a small radar sensor on the wall of the bathroom, bedroom or living room. It notices a fall or an unusually long stillness and alerts family, so your parent does not have to wear a watch or pendant, or press a button.
How does NoBlink fall detection work?
The sensor sends out low-power radio waves and reads how they bounce back from a moving body, a little like the way a bat uses echoes to find its way in the dark. From that, NoBlink can tell ordinary movement apart from a sudden drop to the floor. When a fall looks real, NoBlink places automatic voice calls to the contacts you choose and sends an alert on the NoBlink app.
What kinds of falls can it pick up?
It is built to recognise sudden hard falls, slow slides down to the floor, and collapses that happen in stages, such as someone sinking to their knees first. It also flags long, unusual stillness, which matters when a person goes down quietly. No fall detection system catches every single fall, and we would rather tell you that upfront.
How is this different from a smartwatch fall alert?
A watch only helps when it is on the wrist and charged. Many falls happen in the bathroom, at night, or while the watch sits on the charger. NoBlink stays on the wall, so protection at home does not depend on anyone remembering anything. A watch still helps outside the home, so many families use both.
Does NoBlink call an ambulance?
No. NoBlink calls the people you choose, such as family, a neighbour or a caregiver, and alerts them on the app. They decide what to do next. In an emergency, always call 112.
