        abstract = {In India, safety at workplaces is still an area of concern, primarily within construction sites where falls from height are a major reason for fatalities. In order to meet this challenge, we created IND-AIR®, a smart, wearables-based airbag jacket that is able to detect and react to falling accidents in real time. The device comes with an ensemble of sensors—accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS, and heart rate sensors—alongside a microcontroller (ESP32) to analyse motion data and initiate airbag deployment between 100–120 milliseconds of recognizing a fall. IND-AIR differs from conventional safety harnesses in being intelligent, ergonomic, and instantly providing protection without human intervention. The jacket features GSM-based emergency alerts and location tracking for the added response time benefit. Field simulations showed that the system can decrease impact force by more than 70 percent, and fall detection accuracy of more than 95 percent. This article describes the design, implementation, and testing of IND-AIR, and discusses its potential to change the safety landscape in the workplace with adaptive wear technology.},
