Hippos AI Knee Sleeve Deploys Airbag in 50ms to Prevent ACL Injuries

Hippos Exoskeleton unveils AI-powered knee sleeve with micro-airbag that deploys in 50ms to prevent ACL injuries. Tested at Cleveland Clinic, reduces injury forces by up to 21%.

This technology represents a paradigm shift in injury prevention that could impact millions of people across sports, military, and everyday activities. ACL and other orthopedic injuries affect people of all ages and fitness levels, often causing permanent mobility issues, ending careers, and requiring extensive rehabilitation. In the military alone, musculoskeletal injuries cost over $3.7 billion annually and affect unit readiness. For athletes from professional to recreational levels, these injuries can destroy careers and dreams. The Hippos technology offers the first real preventive solution rather than reactive treatment, potentially reducing healthcare costs, preserving careers, and maintaining quality of life for countless individuals who would otherwise face life-altering injuries.
