Leveraging Belgian expertise

Piloting innovative rehabilitation solutions is one of the pillars of the BE-Relieve Ukraine programme. 

On February 27-28, 2025 Enabel partnered with Piet Stevens, founder of Ceriter, to conduct training sessions for the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital #8 and the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital of War Veterans. Ceriter is the Belgian start-up behind Stride One, smart insoles designed to improve gait rehabilitation for patients recovering from amputations, complex fractures, and cerebrovascular accidents, as well as people with chronic pain. The medical device, equipped with sensors, accurately measures foot-roll and other gait parameters, sending data to an app that generates feedback and recommendations based on collected data.

Mr Stevens demonstrated how the insoles work on patients and donated one device to each hospital, encouraging the medics to share their feedback with Ceriter.

“The number of physiotherapists in Ukraine is limited, and the number of amputees and other people who might benefit from our product is increasing due to the war. That is why for us at Cetirer it is important not only to support Ukraine morally but also to provide our technologies so that the patients can get a better chance at recovery”, commented the founder of Ceriter.
“I have never worked with such devices before, so I am impressed and hope that these insoles will be useful for our patients with different pathologies”, shared Hanna Suska, an occupational therapist at the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital #8. 
Enabel remains dedicated to introducing Ukrainian medical facilities to cutting-edge medical technologies, with a particular emphasis on physical rehabilitation. Additional training sessions and workshops for local specialists are already in development.
