Overall Risk: HIGH X MEDIUM LOW SBIR/STTR Topic Number: Date: 11/11/2014

CONCEPT REQUIREMENT

REQUIREMENT/PAYOFF:

• Wounded soldiers are most vulnerable to re-injury during rehab.

This device provides protection not previously available, to any

veteran who is at increased risk of injury from falls, significantly

reducing re-injuries.

• Additionally, there are large commercial markets for geriatric fall

protection and industrial fall protection that will save significant

medical cost for Medicare/Medicaid and in workers

compensation claims.

DELIVERABLE:

• Final fall detection algorithm analyzing accelerometer output

to initiate inflation of bladders

• Proof of concept, fully functional fall protection belt

• High resolution video of fall protection belt being deployed

OBJECTIVE:

Patent pending. Fall protection with circuitry that detects when a

fall is initiated and, using airbag technology, inflates a protective

cushion before a person reaches the floor or ground.

Substantially reducing injuries from falls.

TRANSITION(S):

• Contract with University of Texas at Arlington for development of

final algorithm and circuit integration.

• SSR&A to build 5 belts using current suppliers to provide ‘proof of

concept’ prototypes.

• Contract with Daicel Corp to use their test facility to test and video

the ‘proof of concept’ prototypes.
