Validation
Plantiga has been independently validated against the industry’s gold standards by the NBA and universities around the world.
Validation comes first
Leading institutions validate Plantiga independently before they use it. That validation is the first step, and it is why the platform is trusted across many different fields of research.

Validation as a first step before use
NBA Wearables Program, Fraunhofer Institute
Plantiga was validated through the NBA Wearables Program, a joint initiative of the NBA and the NBPA that independently vets wearable technologies before they are approved for use.
Testing was conducted at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany, against the gold standards, over a period of several months.
Plantiga passed on every metric on the platform. The program tested the technology under controlled, independent conditions rather than relying on manufacturer-reported data.
