Plantiga

Overview

Health Research BC and Plantiga partnered to fund researchers whose work contributes to advancing wearable technology for real-world movement assessment. Together, we've supported projects like Dr. Christopher Napier’s development of a novel gait analysis tool that uses AI-powered insoles to remotely monitor patients with musculoskeletal injuries. Plantiga’s mission is to democratize gait analytics. Plantiga has developed sensor insoles and an analytics platform to measure human movement in the real world. The company’s research focus is connecting gait (how human beings walk and run) to health outcomes and injury risk. To drive its research efforts, Plantiga has developed “Plantiga Labs” — a mobile gait assessment laboratory. Plantiga Labs offers free movement assessments and is currently building one of the world’s largest databases of lower limb injuries.
