Worldwide, there are 1.5 million elderly per year who suffer from a hip fracture. One out of three dies within the following year. Fifty percent never re-attains the pre-fracture level of mobility. Wolk Hip Airbag is the solution. Wolk is a smart and invisible belt that the elderly can wear underneath their clothing. Sensors in the belt register every movement 500 times per second. When the advanced algorithm recognizes a fall, the belt will inflate and protect the hip against injury – such as a hip fracture. In addition to protecting the hip, Wolk provides more freedom of movement and encourages frail elderly to live longer and safely at home. More information on www.wolkairbag.com.
