Solid Care: Hospital footwear as a service

William Bo Roskær

Solid Care is a Product-Service System concept that explores how hospitals can promote staff well-being and meet ESG goals by reframing footwear as an institutional responsibility. It combines recyclable mono-material shoes with a procurement and lifecycle management platform, turning footwear into a managed asset that balances institutional goals with healthcare workers’ wish for self-expression and identity in an environment that often overlooks the individual.
