Today, we’re proud to share an important milestone for Pletly.
Research on Pletly has now been peer-reviewed and published in BMC Digital Health, a Springer Nature journal focused on digital innovation in healthcare.
The study, “Connecting care circles”, was conducted in collaboration with researchers at the University of Pennsylvania led by Dr. Heather Nuske and care provider Bancroft.
What makes this especially meaningful to us is that the findings reflect something we have believed from the beginning:
Technology in care should strengthen human relationships, not replace them.
The research showed improvements in communication, collaboration, engagement, and trust across the care circle, both for families and professional caregivers supporting people in the IDD and autism community.
This milestone is not just validation of a platform. It is validation of an approach rooted in empathy, collaboration, research, and real-world caregiving experiences.
Grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey. ❤️
