VITO start-up Activ84Health wins innovation award 'Radical Innovator'

Activ84Health, the Kempen VITO start-up that develops technology to keep people with a disabilities physically active in a motivating, pleasant and at the same time safe environment, has been named Radical Innovator, one of the most prestigious innovation awards in Flanders. 

Although it is not our first innovation award, winning the award Radical Innovator feels quite different. This contest looks specifically at the social and societal impact we have on users. We notice that the elderly who get started with our technology by, for example, cycling in their old street, share stories and memories spontaneously. In other words, they can share their history with others. In this way, Activ84Health turns a dull exercise on a hometrainer into a fun storytelling and experience moment, while stimulating the memory.

European Commission's Smart Ageing Challenge Award

By winning the award Radical Innovator, we hope to further build brand awareness and attract new clients at home and abroad. We are already present in more than 35 residential care centres and hospitals in Flanders and the Netherlands, while engaging with distributors in other countries to get a foothold in Europe. We are convinced that our technology can make a significant contribution to the quality of life of people with disabilities outside Flanders as well.
