Company Summary

GraceFall is developing a wearable device to detect unintentional loss of balance and falls before they occur and protect the user from injury. Using our patent pending sensor-fusion technology, we combine brain and muscle signals with accelerometer data, to trigger micro-airbags in order to prevent fall-injuries among the elderly and others. GraceFall is looking for seed funding to accelerate the development and commercialize the device.
