Promise of Telemetrics in Athletics and Every Day Clothing with Plantiga
What does your walking pattern tell about you? Can it help you boost your sports performance? How about can it help prevent injury or rehabilitate you after an injury? Could we see everyday clothing and shoes incorporate sensors that we as individuals could utilize ourselves? In this episode we are joined by Quin Sandler, the CEO and co-founder of Plantiga. The company Plantiga is a human analytics company based in Vancouver, Canada and has been working on gait analytics, sensors, and instrumented footwear for over 10 years. We talk about their work with professional sports teams, such as the NBA and teams like the Golden State Warriors. Quin shares their story from founding the company with his father and the vision to have smart sensors powering all of us under our feet.
