Plantiga was created in 2015 from the belief that human analytics could help people move better and live happier lives.
Even as consumer apps and wearables like watches and bands became mainstream, these single-point solutions kept falling short. They simply didn’t offer the accuracy, quality, technical depth, or broad capabilities that sports and medical professionals need to truly optimize movement. What was missing? Technical data paired with the human touch—a real coach or expert who can interpret the numbers and deliver meaningful, actionable feedback. That’s what enables a truly comprehensive approach and plan.
That’s where Plantiga comes in—a company founded on the idea that human analytics can help people move better and live happier lives.
On this episode of What The Tech, we sit down with Quin Sandler, Plantiga’s Co-founder and CEO. Quin and his team are on a mission to maximize human performance, resilience, and recovery by monitoring and analyzing biomechanics—each person’s unique movement patterns.
The Plantiga platform features a cutting-edge sensor insole that tracks how people move, helping them optimize their health, recovery, and performance. By combining predictive analytics with applied sports science, Plantiga empowers hundreds of teams, coaches, and athletes—both on and off the field.
Plantiga’s mission is impressive, but Quin’s track record in the Canadian startup scene is just as remarkable. As a serial entrepreneur, he’s launched companies in online learning, coaching, and digital branding. For over a decade, he’s specialized in wearables, bringing deep expertise in product design, development, and branding—giving Plantiga a real edge.
Quin has also been a fantastic Boast customer and partner, as well as a tremendous asset to the Vancouver tech community and beyond. We pick his brain about the work he’s done to date, his path to success, and what’s next for Plantiga.
The world’s largest biometric dataset
Plantiga’s team has built the world’s largest, highest-quality biomechanics dataset among any predictive wearable solution.
While Plantiga’s roots are in hardware, the real magic happens in their software, machine learning, and the actionable insights users can leverage.
More cash flow and maximized returns
Working with Boast for SRED tax credits has saved Quin Sandler and the Plantiga team countless hours, helping them recover their investments through non-dilutive government funding.
What used to require coordination between tech, finance, and product teams is now handled by Boast. We streamline the process, using AI and automation to collect key data through our tech-enabled services.
Like the innovative companies we serve, Boast leverages technology to strengthen our work and deliver even better results.
With data and AI, your upside is limitless—so you want an R&D tax partner who truly understands that potential.
