Hip’Air
The first wearable airbag that protects seniors against hip fractures
Hip’Air team of engineers have developed a complex electronic system and algorithm that analyze people’s motion in context.
When a fall is detected, both airbags deploy automatically above the hips before ground impact and ensure an optimal protection.
