Elder testing, protocols and limits

Elder détecte une chute en cours et déploie un airbag avant l'impact. Les tests internes portent sur le temps de déclenchement, la couverture des zones vitales et la réutilisation après remplacement des cartouches. Aucun équipement ne garantit zéro blessure.

What Elder does, and what it does not do

Elder does

Detect a fall in progress and deploy an airbag before impact (0.08 s).
Cushion the head, back, pelvis, hips and femoral neck during a fall.
Notify configured caregivers via the Chutex app after deployment.
Be reused after replacing helium cartridges (about 30 seconds).
Complement a broader fall-prevention strategy (home safety, activity, medical follow-up).

Elder does not

Prevent every fall or guarantee zero fracture risk.
Replace medical advice, physiotherapy or home adaptations.
Prevent or treat seizures, or replace a prescribed seizure helmet.
Act as emergency life support (call emergency services for life-threatening events).
Replace 24/7 human telecare (Chutex Care is a separate France-only service).

Personal protective equipment (PPE category II - CE marking). Ask a healthcare professional before use if you have a medical condition.
