For elderly people, even a seemingly slight fall can also cause serious damage. With this in mind, ActiveProtective, based in Pennsylvania, USA, has developed a new wearable airbag that will pop out during the fall of an elderly person to protect their hips. As Chief Technology Officer of ActiveProtective, Dr. Robert Buckman presented this vision as a trauma surgeon. He noticed that many elderly people were admitted to the hospital due to hip injuries caused by falls, and some of them were not fully recovered. This airbag can be worn under the clothes like a belt, and has a built-in 3D motion sensor that detects atypical movements, that is, falls. The product uses a cold gas booster pump to eject the airbag to protect the sides of the hips of the elderly. When the wearer hits the ground, the airbag can reduce the impact by 90%. The developer conducted a functional test of the product in the Magnetic Experience in Maryland, which created a human cadaver simulator for combat casualties and emergency trauma surgery. It is reported that the test results have been very successful so far. ActiveProtective said clinical trials will be officially launched in 2015.
