Wearable protection device (1) comprising at least one inflatable bag (8) configured to assume alternately a rest configuration, wherein it is in a deflated state, and an active configuration, wherein it is in an inflated state and inflation means (14) in fluid communication with the inflatable bag (8) and configured to introduce therein an inflation fluid once they have been triggered. The wearable protection device (1) further comprises at least one pressure detecting device (26) associated with the at least one inflatable bag and configured for directly or indirectly detecting the pressure inside the at least one inflatable bag (8). A further object of the present invention is a method for evaluating if an inflatable bag (8) of a wearable protection device (1) is reusable once it has been inflated.

A garment including an inflatable protective device that can include at least one inflatable bag suitable for moving between a rest condition, wherein it is deflated, and an operating condition, wherein it is inflated; an inflator unit designed for inflating the at least one inflatable bag; sensors designed for monitoring the user's body for shocks or unexpected movements; and a control unit designed for processing the data provided by the sensors and for activating the inflator unit if, on the basis of the data received by the sensors, a danger situation is identified. The garment can further include a display unit which has an alphanumeric and/or graphical visual display for providing the user with messages and/or symbols about the internal status of the inflatable protective device.

Air microfluidics and minifluidics enabled active compression apparel enhances mobility and quality of life for individuals by minimizing risks of injuries, enhancing rehabilitation, and maximizing comfort. Balloon actuators, integrated with a garment, provide active compression and augmenting forces to anatomical portions of the human body. The balloon actuators are actuated by fluidic pressurization hardware. The air microfluidics and minifluidics system miniaturizes fluidic pressurization hardware and makes it wearable, ultra lightweight, and ultra formfitting. The air microfluidics and minifluidics system includes micro and mini channels of various lengths, cross-sectional areas, and functions via principles of equivalent hydraulic resistance allowing for fluidic transportation, passive delay in pressurization of the balloon actuators, and digital soft fluidic actuation where the compression force is based on the number of inflated balloon actuators instead of their pressure.

The present invention relates to an rapid inflating/deflating device used for a protective clothing and a smart protective clothing, the inflating/deflating device including: an outer cylinder provided with a first hole; an inner cylinder provided in the outer cylinder and provided with a second hole and being capable of sliding between a first position in which the second hole is aligned with the first hole and a second position in which the second hole is deviated from the first hole and is closed by the inner wall of the outer cylinder; a blade provided in the inner cylinder and a motor driving the blade; a biasing device for biasing the inner cylinder toward the first position; wherein the inner cylinder further comprises a third opening on which an one-way valve is provided so as to allow pressurized gas to flow one-way.

Inflatable coveralls provide individuals, who fall frequently, with protection and independence. The coveralls consist of pads on the shoulders and hips to reduce the impact of a fall on the person. When worn and located underneath the fallen person, the coveralls can be inflated with air into a chair, creating a higher platform from which the person can more easily get up. This reduces the dependence these individuals have on a caregiver. Users can fasten the coveralls using hook & loop or magnets, instead of buttons or zippers, because it is easier to wear and they automatically open from the increase in air pressure of the inflated coveralls. Made of lightweight and air-impermeable material, the inflatable coveralls pads the fall of individual and elevated the fallen individual so that they can more easily rise, allowing them to gain independence.
