A Message from Our Founder & CEO
The Journey Behind Plethy
Plethy’s story began not just in boardrooms or labs, but in something deeply personal—my desire to care for my aging parents as they grow older and live longer. Like many families, we began facing the realities of mobility challenges and the health risks that come with them. I was particularly moved by a World Health Organization article detailing how musculoskeletal issues impact not just mobility but also contribute to social isolation, chronic conditions, and reduced earning potential.
I wanted to help. I wanted to make a difference—not just for my parents, but for people everywhere navigating recovery, aging, and the desire to get back to work and life.
The problem became clear: patients often don’t follow their care instructions at home. Many face barriers to accessing care, and providers lack the visibility they need to intervene early and adjust recovery plans in a meaningful, personalized way. The challenge was engagement, and we cracked that code.
I was fortunate to be joined in this mission by peers in medicine and technology who believed in this cause. Several orthopedic surgeons stepped forward to help us refine our approach, participate in human trials, and support peer-reviewed publications. Leaders in self-insured enterprises and workers’ comp carriers quickly recognized the potential of the data and insights we were generating. They became early adopters, guiding our growth and introducing us to others who shared our vision.
Thanks to all of them, we’ve had the privilege to serve patients and injured workers across the country. Today, we proudly partner with orthopedic, spine, neuro, and pain groups, as well as self-insured enterprises and workers’ compensation carriers.
I’m personally grateful for the opportunity to serve patients of all ages—from middle schoolers to grandparents in their nineties. What began as a desire to care for my own family has become a mission to support recovery, restore independence, and improve lives. I’m thankful every day that our work is making a meaningful impact.
