Elder is a connected airbag vest designed specifically for seniors who wish to maintain their independence with complete peace of mind. Lightweight and discreet, it slips on like an ordinary vest and is activated with the press of a single button. Once on, Elder continuously monitors posture and movement via advanced inertial sensors without hindering everyday activities.
If a fall occurs, Elder responds in under 0.08 seconds, instantly inflating its airbag using two single‑use helium cartridges. This air shield wraps around the spine, protects the femoral neck and hips, supports the back and neck, and cushions impacts to the head and face. The result is up to an 80% reduction in impact forces, significantly lowering the risk of fractures and head injuries.
Upon inflation, Elder automatically enters alert mode: an SMS and email are immediately sent to pre‑registered emergency contacts, while the user’s GPS position is broadcast in real time. Family and carers can quickly locate the wearer and summon help without delay, even remotely.
Built to last, Elder is fully reusable: after deployment, simply fold the airbag, replace the helium cartridges, and switch it on again. The breathable fabric is machine‑washable once the airbag is removed, and the battery delivers up to 36 hours of operation on a single charge.
Designed and assembled in France, Elder pairs with a mobile app (iOS & Android) that provides continuous wearer localisation. With no complex settings to manage, this connected airbag vest offers a turnkey solution to protect the back, hips, femoral neck, neck, head, and face 24/7. Add Elder to your Decathlon basket today and give your loved ones true peace of mind.
