About the research

Can two millimetres really make the difference between pain and comfort? Researcher Inge Van den Herrewegen (Thomas More Applied Sciences University - Mobilab & Care) and her team are developing a smart app that turns 50,000+ scientific studies on insoles into an easy-to-use tool for foot specialists. By mapping research insights and connecting them to patient data, this app helps professionals choose the best insole — faster and with evidence-based confidence.
