Why Researchers Choose Plantiga

Bridge the gap between laboratory precision and real-world biomechanics research.

Lab-Grade Accuracy

Validated against gold-standard systems. Published research demonstrates strong correlations with laboratory equipment for load, asymmetry, and biomechanics parameters.

Scalable Data Collection

Scale your research with continuous, longitudinal data capture. Monitor as many participants as you need simultaneously, without laboratory visits or researcher supervision.

Flexible Data Access

Export raw sensor data or use validated algorithms. Integrate with your analysis pipeline via API or download processed metrics. Full control over your research data.

Ecological Validity

Capture naturalistic gait data in participants' real environments—home, community, sports fields. Eliminate the artificial constraints and observer effects of laboratory settings.

Simple workflow, powerful discoveries

Comprehensive tools for rigorous biomechanics investigation

Data Collection

Participants wear sensor insoles during daily activities, training, or specific protocols. Data captured at 200Hz with minimal participant burden and no researcher presence required.

Processing & Export

Access raw sensor data and processed gait parameters through research dashboards or API. Export to CSV, integrate with analysis pipelines, or use our validated algorithms.

Analysis & Publication

Leverage comprehensive documentation, validation studies, and technical support for publication-ready research. Join a growing network of researchers using Plantiga.
