Personal airbag for falls could protect hips, boost confidence
NCT ID NCT05076565
Summary
This study is testing a smart wearable airbag system designed to detect when someone is falling and inflate to protect their hips. It aims to reduce the risk of serious injuries like hip fractures in people at high risk of falling, such as those who have had a stroke, have Parkinson's disease, or are lower-limb amputees. Researchers want to see if the device works reliably in daily life and if wearing it helps people feel more confident moving around their community.
