About us

Built for athletes and the people who care for them

Notus Labs exists because orthopedic care deserves better tools. Most wearables are built for consumer fitness. Most clinical devices were built decades ago and ignore the athlete wearing them. We saw a gap between what clinicians needed to treat injuries with confidence and what athletes experienced during recovery, so we built the platform we wished existed. Notus Labs is the continuous biomechanical monitoring platform built for orthopedic care, sports medicine research, and athletes working their way back.

Not louder, flashier software. Not bloated platforms pretending to be all things to all people. Just simple systems that help real people run real businesses—without all the friction.

Most small teams don’t need more features. They need clarity.
Coordination. A way to keep things moving without chasing five apps and two calendars.

We’re not trying to reinvent how people work. We’re here to support the way they already do it—with a little more flow and a lot less fuss.

Planar is building calm, capable software for small businesses that do it all.

Our values

Precision
Recovery decisions deserve more than subjective check-ins. We build tools that make the invisible measurable, so clinicians and athletes can act on what the body is actually doing.
Built with clinicians
Every feature is shaped by the people using it on the floor: orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, strength coaches, and researchers. We ship what the clinic actually needs, not what looks good in a demo.
Focus on outcomes
Not every metric matters. We focus on the data that changes return-to-play decisions, reduces re-injury, and gives athletes confidence in their recovery.
