  • Wearable device for fall injury mitigation
    Patent number: 10897938
    Abstract: An inflatable garment designed to reduce the severity of fall-related injuries is disclosed. The garment includes at least one inflatable chamber, an upper portion, a middle portion, and a lower portion. The garment also includes an inflation mechanism in fluid communication with the at least one inflatable chamber, a sensor network configured to detect a plurality of physical parameters indicative of a fall, and a logic circuit configured to process the plurality of physical parameters, and to trigger the inflation mechanism when each of the plurality of physical parameters surpasses a threshold value. Each of the upper, middle, and lower portions are configured to inflate in an anterior, posterior, and lateral direction via the at least one inflatable chamber. The garment is further configured to deflate to prevent contrecoup injuries.
