Company Overview

Nobi develops AI-powered smart ceiling lights for senior living communities — integrating fall detection, presence monitoring, and wellbeing analytics into regular ceiling lighting fixtures. The approach is uniquely unobtrusive: technology embedded in a light fixture blends into the room environment, eliminating the visible sensor installation that can feel institutional.

In January 2025, Nobi closed a $37 million Series B co-led by Angelini Ventures and Nexus NeuroTech Ventures. The company has deployed across Europe and is expanding in the U.S. — including a partnership with Frontier Senior Living spanning 56 communities.

Products & Platform

Nobi Smart Light

Market Position

Nobi's smart light form factor is its primary differentiator — making fall detection invisible to residents who resist visible monitoring technology. In a market where resident and family acceptance is a significant adoption barrier, embedding AI in a light fixture eliminates the psychological barrier of a visible camera or sensor.
