CHICAGO and CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ActiveProtective®, maker of the groundbreaking Tango® Belt, today announced a new partnership with Montgomery Place, one of Chicago's preeminent not-for-profit senior living communities located in Hyde Park. This collaboration represents a shared commitment to enhancing quality of life through innovative technology that supports safer mobility, dignity, and independence for older adults.
Montgomery Place will introduce the Tango Belt to residents and family members through an educational rollout in their Independent and Assisted Living Communities. The initiative reflects Montgomery Place's holistic approach to resident well-being, supporting physical safety while nurturing confidence, engagement, and independence.
This partnership directly aligns with Montgomery Place's long-standing belief that mind, body, and spirit thrive in harmony when individuals feel secure, empowered, and supported. By embracing forward-thinking solutions like the Tango Belt, Montgomery Place continues its tradition of innovation while honoring its core values of integrity, dignity, caring, engagement, and quality.
The Tango Belt is an innovative, FDA-authorized medical device clinically proven to protect at-risk older adults from fall-related hip fractures. Using advanced sensing technology and rapid-deploy airbag protection, the belt detects a serious fall in progress and deploys an airbag to cushion the hips and reduce injury from impact.
Designed for daily wear and mobility, the Tango Belt provides peace of mind for residents and their families, helping older adults maintain independence and confidence in their everyday activities. When paired with its companion app, the device automatically notifies designated caregivers or family members when a fall is detected.
Wamis Singhatat, CEO of ActiveProtective, emphasized the shared values behind the partnership:
"We're excited to collaborate with Montgomery Place in setting a new standard of care for protecting at-risk older adults from life-altering hip injuries caused by serious falls. This partnership is a powerful step toward a world where aging is supported by technology that preserves independence and peace of mind."
Mark Mullahy, CEO from Montgomery Place added:
"One of the greatest strengths of Montgomery Place is our location. With the museum, the lakefront, and the vitality of Hyde Park just beyond our front door, residents are encouraged to remain engaged and active. Knowing that a product like the Tango Belt is available provides added confidence and peace of mind, allowing individuals to continue exploring and enjoying the beauty that surrounds them."
Advancing a Shared Vision of Empowered Aging
Through this partnership, ActiveProtective and Montgomery Place aim to demonstrate how senior living communities can integrate meaningful innovation into everyday life. By reducing the risk of serious fall-related injuries and supporting confident mobility, the Tango Belt helps residents remain active, engaged, and connected within their community and to the vibrant city of Chicago.
Together, this partnership is setting an example for senior living communities nationwide: one that champions safety, independence, and the freedom for older adults to live life to its full potential.
