Belgium’s OnTracx Secures €1.2M To Support Injury-Free Running And Recovery

The round included imec.istart fund, PMV, KBC, and business angels with sports medicine and entrepreneurial expertise, supported by a VLAIO innovation grant.

OnTracx, a Ghent University spin-off founded in 2023, brings science-based innovation to the running and sports-medicine market. Its smart sensor platform helps runners, therapists, coaches and trainers monitor biomechanical load, supporting data-driven training, injury prevention, and rehabilitation for over 110 million runners worldwide.

The lightweight lower-leg sensor tracks tendon, muscle, and joint load, focusing on cumulative stress over time a key factor in overuse injuries. Instead of claiming to eliminate injuries, OnTracx makes hidden loads visible, guiding smarter training, screening, and rehab decisions for safer, more effective performance.

OnTracx tracks everyday running and training, providing a clear picture of load and capacity without oversimplifying human movement. Combining sensor data with runner-reported inputs like symptoms, it enables safer training and informed return-to-run decisions. By connecting runners, therapists and coaches, OnTracx bridges the gap between care, training, and performance.

Senne Bonnaerens, CEO and Co-founder of OnTracx, shared: Our goal is to give athletes and caregivers a clearer understanding of loading patterns so they can make informed choices. Most runners just want to keep running whether for health, performance, or enjoyment – and understanding hidden loads is an important step toward that.

With 110 million runners worldwide facing overload injuries, OnTracx helps athletes and clinicians train safely and sustainably. As the industry embraces load-based insights, the company drives this shift, creating opportunities for runners, professionals, and partners. The new funding will enhance its wearable sensor, expand the digital platform, and scale into Europe and the US.
