ActiveProtective coauthored a white paper with Dr. Rebecca Tarbert coauthored with Dr. David J. Shulkin on the V-HIP strategy presented by the Ninth United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs on September 23.

At ActiveProtective, we believe that most hip fractures are preventable. Our FDA-approved Tango Belt is clinically proven to reduce the risk of fall-induced hip fractures, a leading cause of severe injury in at-risk older adults. Using motion-monitoring sensors, Tango Belt detects high impact falls before they occur and deploys a protective airbag to absorb and reduce impact forces, mitigating serious injury. Tango Belt is an easy-to-wear smart belt comfortable enough for day and nighttime use. When paired with its companion mobile app, Tango Belt provides timely alerts to family members and care staff when a fall or impact is detected. The app also tracks important metrics like balance confidence and adherence, empowering caregivers with valuable insights to enhance wearer safety and wellbeing. ActiveProtective is now seeking interested senior living owner/operators, healthcare systems and providers, particularly those in Value-Based Care models that proactively “screen and intervene” to mitigate risk and avoid costly episodes of care.
