Problem
Falls are a leading cause of injuries, particularly hip fractures, among the elderly population. Current methods of fall protection are often reactive and do not prevent the initial impact, leading to significant health complications and reduced quality of life.
Solution
Azimut Medical develops Air-Sequr, an inflatable smart garment designed to proactively protect against fall-related injuries. The wearable technology uses real-time motion sensors and AI algorithms to detect the onset of a fall. Upon detection, the system instantly deploys an airbag around the hips before impact, mitigating the risk of fractures. The garment is designed to be discreet and comfortable, allowing it to be worn invisibly under regular clothing, promoting user acceptance and consistent protection.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes elderly individuals at high risk of falls, as well as healthcare institutions and assisted living facilities focused on preventative care and senior safety.
