HIP’GUARD
the belt with airbag that detects falls whenever a fall is detected, an airbag integrated into the belt automatically inflates at the level of the hips. Hip’Guard therefore guarantees optimal protection in the event of an impact on the ground.
Optimal protection in 4 steps:
- ANALYSIS OF THE MOVEMENTS. The electronic system and its sensors follow and analyze the movements of the person in real time.
- FALL DETECTION. The system can detect that the person is falling within 0.2 seconds.
- INFLATION OF THE AIRBAGS. The airbag located on the side of the fall inflates around the hip within 0.08 seconds.
- HIP PROTECTION. The femoral neck is protected before impact on the ground.
Shown to:
Elderly people at risk of falling into a nursing home or nursing home
Elderly people at risk of falling at home
People in post-operative rehabilitation
People at risk of falling with Parkinson’s disease
How does it work?
A complex and powerful algorithm measures the movements of an elderly person more than
1000 times per second and allows a reliable and ultra-fast detection of one
fall situation. Tested and validated by the University of Grenoble Alpes, France., France.
