"With LiCalab as our research partner, we were able to test and validate our platform with 14 dental practices, 130 dentists and 250 patients across Flanders. Not only does LiCalab offer access to a large health network, which is effective thanks to LiCalab’s solid image, they also help shape the process and provide operational support. Without LiCalab, we would not be where we are today. When new opportunities arise, LiCalab is undoubtedly our first point of contact"
"I am Hans, the oldest panel member of LiCalab. Soon I will be celebrating my 96th birthday! I am interested in everything to do with improvement of health solutions, safety and comfort. For example, I contributed to the development of smart packaging for medication. I also tested a rollator that can also be used as an aid to stand up. Meanwhile, my daily life gives me enough expertise to give valuable feedback on all kinds of health innovations. I still live on my own, but it is getting more difficult for me to move around. Fortunately, I have a beautiful large family, so I can count on my children to take care of me!"
