The StabilityBelt: What is it?
A wearable haptic device classified as a Class 1 medical device, the StabilityBelt helps patients with severe balance impairments recover their independence by providing them with haptic input.
Individuals with severe balance issues, such those with bilateral vestibular loss (BVL), struggle to walk and experience extreme imbalance. An estimated 81 persons per 100,000 are anticipated to be affected by BVL, or more than 6 million individuals globally.
BVL sufferers are able to move around independently and without the assistance of others, walking sticks, or wheelchairs thanks to the StabilityBelt, which offers haptic input on the wearer's body posture and balance. Studies have indicated that wearing a StabilityBelt improves one's quality of life.
The Prof. Dr. Chefard and Catilex Wearables collaborated to create the StabilityBelt.
How StabilityBelt Operates
An intelligent belt that incorporates vibration motors and an accelerometer.
Patients with balance disorders receiving haptic input on body position:
An accelerometer and a number of small vibration motors, or actuators, are included in the StabilityBelt. The belt vibrates in response to the direction the user is leaning toward, alerting the wearer of their body posture.
Subconsciously interpreting the input, the wearer adjusts their posture and enhances their balance.
Suitable for daily use:
- Subtle and intuitive.
- Light-weight
- Sizes ranging from XS-XL
- Washable textile sleeve
- Chargeable in 6 hours, battery lasts up to 16 hours
Acquiring the StabilityBelt
Previous research has demonstrated a notable enhancement in the standard of living for those experiencing severe bilateral vestibular loss (BVL):Chefard, H., Felipe, L., Gerards, MC., et al. Patients with severe bilateral vestibular loss benefit from improved movement and balance when using vibrotactile feedback.
What people are saying about StabilityBelt
Present state of the project
For worldwide distribution, Stability Belt has completed manufacture of the first batch of belts. The product was introduced in 2020's summer. We are delivering our product in the whole USA, Canada and EU countries.
There are currently ongoing additional patient studies for the Stability Belt. For anyone with balance disorders who would want to be part of the experiment, please get in touch with us!
