A partnership between ActiveProtective and the Plymouth Place retirement community aims to enhance senior safety through the implementation of the Tango Belt. This innovative wearable medical device utilizes integrated sensors to detect falls and instantly deploy an airbag to prevent hip fractures. The initiative will roll out in phases, beginning with independent living residents before expanding to assisted living and memory care units. By adopting this FDA-authorized technology, the facility hopes to reduce serious injuries while helping older adults maintain their mobility and independence. This collaboration reflects a growing trend of utilizing data-driven solutions to address the physical risks associated with aging. Ultimately, the program provides peace of mind to families by ensuring that caregivers are automatically alerted when an accident occurs.
