The seeds of VIMO Solutions were planted in an academic setting, with a bachelor thesis project that would soon blossom into much more. Vera Schockemohle, a student with vision and creativity, developed an artificial flower designed to inspire and motivate elderly individuals to maintain an active lifestyle. This innovative concept not only earned the prestigious Nierfonds eHealth Voucher from the University of Twente but also ignited a spark among a team of six CreaTe students. Together, they saw the potential to transform this idea into something bigger – and thus, Bloomi was born.

Our journey continued at Novel-T's Start program, where we dived deep into the market viability of our product. It was during this phase that Wouter Bollen, another member of our pioneering team, explored the flower's effectiveness in a comprehensive second thesis. This period was pivotal for VIMO Solutions as our market research unveiled a striking revelation: the appeal of our product extended far beyond the elderly demographic. The realization dawned on us – why limit such a beneficial device to just one age group? The true potential of our product lay in its universal appeal; a tool to encourage movement and activity across all ages.

This insight was a turning point. We began to reimagine and reshape our product to cater to a wider audience. From the young to the old, everyone deserves the motivation to stay active and engaged. Our focus expanded, and with it, our ambition. VIMO Solutions was no longer just about a single product; it became a mission to create a range of solutions that foster wellness and activity for everyone.

Today, VIMO Solutions stands as a testament to innovation, inclusivity, and the power of a simple idea to inspire change. Our journey from a university project to a dynamic startup reflects our commitment to enhancing lives through technology. We continue to innovate, driven by the belief that movement and well-being should be accessible and enjoyable for all.

Join us in our quest to create a more active, healthier world, one solution at a time.
