Description:
The hip airbag protects the hips in the event of a fall. As soon as a sideways fall is detected, the airbag integrated in the harness automatically deploys at the hip. The airbag provides protection in the event of a ground impact and reduces the potential for femoral neck fractures.
The algorithm measures the user's movements more than 1,000 times per second and enables a fall situation to be detected.
The horseshoe shape of the airbag protects the femoral neck bone by isolating it and redirecting the force of the impact. This distributes the strength around the bone rather than directly onto it. This shape allows the impact shock to be absorbed to reduce the risk of hip fracture. After hitting the ground, the airbag remains inflated for a few seconds and then deflates automatically.
The battery lasts up to 5 days. A red LED and a beep signal when the battery charge level is low and needs to be recharged. The system automatically switches to sleep mode when the airbag harness is removed or the person wearing the harness lies down.
