Abstract
Recent statistics on work-related non-fatal and fatal injuries show that falls from height (FFH) are the leading causes, having a negative impact on socio-economic levels. Among industrial sectors, the construction industry has the highest rate of fatal injuries. Although safety harnesses, personal protective equipment (PPE), and collective protection systems are mandated by national laws, these tools have been insufficient to effectively address the problem. Smart wearable technologies and advanced materials can help predict and react to FFH events. This work proposes the design of a new fallimpact-mitigation wearable airbag to protect the front and back of the user, integrated into a technical vest. The system is activated by a falling-risk-estimation algorithm that can distinguish between voluntary movements and accidental falls. The device meets level-2 protection requirements according to EN1621-4, offering protection to users falling from 1.5 to 4 m. The proposed apparatus naturally extends this to types of falls from the same level.
The increase in the elderly population in Indonesia raises concerns about fall accidents. Many mitigation strategies are available to reduce fall accidents among the elderly. Two main strategies have been widely explored, i.e., fall detection and impact reduction. Despite its disadvantages, fall detection devices remai...

Construction workers face disproportionate rates of fatal and nonfatal injuries, including falls, heat strain, overexertion, and struck-by incidents, that passive personal protective equipment cannot continuously monitor. Smart garments, which embed sensors and microelectronics directly into textile apparel, offer a de...
Background
Wearable technologies are used in sport to monitor training load, biomechanics, physiology, and recovery, but their effectiveness in injury prevention remains uncertain.
Aim
To evaluate evidence on wearables for sports injury prevention using a framework covering measurement validity, injury association,...
