Track cumulative load, in-the-field.

We work with researchers to translate biomechanical and training load data into insights that matter in real-world running practice.

What We Offer Researchers

Ecologically valid field measurements

Study runners in real-world conditions. Measure impact peaks with validated wearable technology, enabling biomechanical insights beyond the lab.

Efficient data processing

Impact peaks are calculated on-sensor, reducing post-processing and enabling faster biomechanical analysis.

Efficient large scale data collection

All data is automatically synchronized to the OnTracx platform, allowing researchers to monitor participants remotely and collect large-scale longitudinal datasets with minimal logistical burden.

TECHNOLOGY

Field-ready measurement technology

OnTracx combines a lightweight wearable sensor with a scalable data platform, enabling high-resolution biomechanical load tracking outside the lab.

Impact peak detection

Our sensor calculates peak tibial acceleration instantly, saving you valuable processing time.

Splash proof

Water resistant up to 30 m / 100 ft so rain, sweat, or puddles won’t slow you down.

Lightweight & compact 

Only 10 g (0.35 oz) with a 36.6 mm diameter and 10.6 mm thickness—barely noticeable while you run.

Seamless connectivity

Bluetooth keeps your runs synced to the app effortlessly.

Long-lasting battery

Up to 1 month of typical running, or 8+ hours of continuous tracking.

Why Collaborate with OnTracx?

We’re a Ghent University spin-off, founded by three doctoral-level experts, with a growing team of in-house research talent.

We’re passionate about collaborating with researchers to bring running load insights from lab to real-world practice.

Bridge the gap between lab research and applied practice

Extend validated biomechanical research beyond controlled settings and into everyday running, where real decisions are made.

Collect data at scale without disrupting real-world training

Enable continuous, high-quality data collection during normal training and competition without altering athlete behavior or routines.

Co-create evidence-informed solutions

Work together to transform robust measurements into practical insights that support better research, care, and performance in the field.

collaborating with leading institutions

OnTracx delivers real world running load insights to your workflow.

What experts say about OnTracx

“Most injuries occur by doing ‘too much too soon’. OnTracx facilitates a way to gradually increase load over time, thereby actually tackling an important part of the problem.”
