About
Horsano is an innovative equine health monitoring platform designed for horse owners, trainers, veterinarians, stables, and breeders. The system uses advanced wearable sensors to continuously monitor a horse's pulse, ECG, breathing rate, movement, body temperature, sweat levels, and GPS location — all accessible from a single mobile application. Horsano 1.0 provides a mobile ECG device with full vital sign tracking and an alert system that notifies owners instantly of health threats. The companion app offers health reports, horse management tools, and the I-Vet system, which enables remote data sharing with veterinarians for precise remote diagnostics and consultations. Horsano 2.0, launching in late 2025, introduces dry electrode sensors that measure heart rate and respiration directly through the horse's coat — eliminating the need for gel or traditional electrodes. Dedicated blankets (derkas) with built-in sensors make deployment even simpler. An integrated AI system autonomously analyzes the collected biometric data, providing actionable insights, training recommendations, and health alerts before physical symptoms appear. Key use cases include early disease detection, training load optimization to prevent overtraining, foaling and pregnancy monitoring, transport surveillance, post-operative recovery tracking, and remote veterinary support. Horsano is built by a team of over 20 bioengineers, electronics engineers, veterinarians, designers, and equestrian professionals dedicated to improving animal welfare through technology.
