A new era in fall injury prevention
Thanks to technology, it's now possible to anticipate accidents . The smart seatbelt with airbag represents a revolutionary advance in fall protection for seniors. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and an ultra-fast activation system, this seatbelt detects falls and deploys an airbag in milliseconds, reducing the impact of a fall by 86% and therefore the risk of fractures. It's comfort, innovation, protection, and peace of mind all in one device.
Technology with more than 10 years of development
The FutureAge Airbag Smart Belt is the result of more than 10 years of development, following the goal of creating a hip protection device for the elderly that is effective, comfortable and easy to use.
Thanks to its compact size, lightweight design and discreet appearance, FutureAge allows for an active lifestyle, before and after a fall, ensuring effective hip protection without interfering with daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions
The FutureAge Airbag Smart Belt is designed for people at higher risk of falls or hip injuries , offering extra protection in their daily lives.
Its use is especially recommended for:
- Older people who, due to mobility problems or bone fragility, are more likely to suffer falls with impact on the hip.
- Younger people who have illnesses or conditions that increase the risk of falling , such as Parkinson's, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, ataxia, and other balance disorders.
- People who have undergone hip surgery , wear prostheses, or want additional protection after a recovery process
The Smart Seatbelt uses patented technology that combines advanced sensors and an ultra-fast inflation system to protect the hips before impact. Its operation is based on:
- High-precision motion sensors: incorporates three accelerometers and three gyroscopes that analyze the body's position and movements in real time.
- Intelligent algorithm: Specialized software interprets this data and can accurately distinguish a fall from an everyday movement. When it detects a dangerous situation, it activates the airbag on the corresponding side (right or left).
- Automatic inflation in 0.06 seconds: In the event of a fall, the airbag deploys automatically and almost instantaneously, creating pneumatic protection around the hip to reduce the risk of fracture.
In addition, through the D-Alert app, it allows direct notification to the contacts chosen by the user with the sending of the exact geolocation.
The Smart Airbag Belt is designed to detect falls from an upright position, which are those that present the greatest risk of hip fracture.
Accurately recognizes:
- Forward falls
- Side falls
- Backwards falls
When the algorithm identifies a real fall, the airbag automatically deploys to protect the hip area before impact, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
Medical research shows that:
- Falls from a standing position are the main cause of hip fractures in older people.
- Among these, lateral falls are the ones that most frequently cause this type of fracture.
- Furthermore, it is an injury with very serious consequences: one in four patients who suffer a hip fracture do not survive the first year, which underlines the importance of prevention.
The decision to focus protection on this area stems from the goal of offering maximum safety with a lightweight, discreet, and comfortable device suitable for everyday use. By focusing on the hips, the belt achieves the following:
- A compact and low-volume design, easier to accept and use continuously.
- Effective protection right where the most serious injuries occur in case of a fall
Yes. The FutureAge Airbag Hip Belt, which protects the hips from falls, is CE certified as Category II Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by an independent notified body. This certification guarantees that the product has passed a rigorous testing protocol specifically designed for people with mobility issues or a high risk of falling.
The certification process evaluates aspects such as:
- The algorithm's accuracy in recognizing a real fall and activating the airbag only when necessary.
- The inflation time , which must be fast enough to provide protection before impact.
- The airbag's absorption capacity , its dimensions, and the proper protection of the hip area.
- The suitability of the sizes , the ergonomics and the ease of use.
Furthermore, FutureAge's airbag technology is patented. Its algorithm was developed in collaboration with the University of Bologna and has been tested in over 200 types of falls with 17 different dynamics. It has also been verified against accidental activation in 24 everyday activities, with over 400 hours of testing and analysis.
All of this guarantees a reliable, accurate and safe device, ideal for those who need advanced protection against falls.
The battery of the FutureAge Airbag Smart Belt offers up to 30 hours of continuous use, enough to cover daily activity with complete peace of mind.
You can check the charge level in two ways:
- The front light interface displays the charge level using a color code: green 100%-50%; yellow 50%-25%; red 25%-0%
- Through the D-Alert app, you can see the battery status in real time.
When you need to recharge it, simply connect it to the power supply using the included USB-C cable.
