INDIENOV : innovation for well-being

A strong society doesn’t let its people down !

Our mission is to create innovative solutions that promote the independence and well-being of everyone.

The INDIE belt embodies this commitment by offering lightweight, effective protection against one of the most serious consequences of falls : fracture of the neck of the femur, thereby preserving users’ freedom of movement and quality of lifes.

Contributing to the independence and autonomy of people at risk by innovating in every way we can is the our reason for being. Our commitment to the safety and comfort of our users is at the heart of everything we do.

With INDIENOV, you can rest assured that you are backed by a company that genuinely cares about your well-being, whether you are a user or a healthcare professional prescribing our solutions.

INDIENOV is supported and accompanied by a number of complementary partners.

Every year in France, 2 million falls by people aged over 65 are responsible for over 130,000 hospitalisations..

According to INSEE, more than 4 million senior* citizens will be losing their independence by 2050.

At INDIENOV, we believe in our responsibility to society. That’s why we’re committed to offering a complete preventive solution against falls and femoral neck fractures, helping to mitigate the consequences of loss of independence among senior citizens by 2050. As a lightweight, effective protective device, the belt would help to reduce the risk of falls among users, thereby preserving their independence and quality of life.
