Equine excellence and experience are at the heart of the Equimetrics story.
Equimetrics is an Irish based Equine Veterinary Medical Device developer, focused on providing innovative solutions for the remote monitoring of horses, for both Veterinarians, Equine Hospitals, Owners, Trainers & Caregivers.
The Equimetrics device range, has been designed by equine professionals, with the input of Equine Veterinarian professionals from around the globe. This innate knowledge of the horse, its needs, anatomy & behaviours has led to the development of a practical solution which answers the needs of Veterinarians, Trainers & Owners , in effectively monitoring horses health status remotely.
Equimetrics devices, remove the unknown, resultant concern & worry, in a practical all in one solution for every equine veterinarian, trainer & competitive sportsperson, advancing your insight into your horses’ health & wellbeing.
The challenges faced by the equine veterinary community are increasing, we aimed to develop a device which would address these needs by providing accurate insight to the caregiver, and remote monitoring of equine health.
Horses spend many hours in solitude in their stables, whether recovering from surgery, in training, and indeed in general work. Modern day horse keeping, can lead to horses being stabled for up to 22 hours per day. During this time the horse is generally unsupervised in the majority of facilities.
Insights from biometric data – including heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature & movement can tell a professional if there is an underlying issue which needs further investigation, or can alert an owner of an issue that needs to be investigated.
Equimetrics provides an easy to use solution in its Smart Equine Wearables, to safely gather this data, view and interpret this information.
