ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Our mission is to empower people to move better, so they can live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

Plantiga is a human analytics company based in Vancouver, Canada. We have been working on gait analytics, sensors, and instrumented footwear for over 10 years, from university projects to early instrumented footwear prototypes to our modern sensor insole. The company was founded by Quin Sandler and his father, Norman McKay.

Our goal is simple: to create opportunities for everyday people to take care of their movement health, move with confidence in the moments that matter most, and live life to the fullest with our wearable insole technology.
