Personal airbag could save hips during falls
NCT ID NCT05076565
Summary
This study is testing a smart wearable airbag system designed to prevent injuries from falls. The device uses sensors and computer algorithms to detect when someone is falling and quickly inflates an airbag to cushion the impact, aiming to reduce hip fractures. Researchers are testing the system with 200 people who have a high risk of falling, including those who have had a stroke, have Parkinson's disease, are elderly, or are lower-limb amputees.
