Summary

This study tests a smart wearable airbag that detects when someone is falling and inflates to cushion the impact. It is designed for people at high risk of falling, such as those with stroke, Parkinson's disease, or a leg amputation. The goal is to see if the device can reduce fall-related injuries. About 200 participants will be enrolled to evaluate how well the system works.
