About
MotionPro, powered by Sleip's artificial intelligence, is a diagnostic application designed for horse owners, trainers, and veterinary professionals seeking accurate and accessible equine lameness detection. By leveraging advanced computer vision and AI motion analysis, MotionPro eliminates the need for specialized hardware — users simply record a trot-up video using an iPhone, and the system returns detailed gait metrics and stride-by-stride biomechanical analysis within minutes. Each video submission is reviewed by a team of veterinarians who provide detailed written reports alongside the AI-generated data, giving users both quantitative insights and professional interpretation. The platform supports routine soundness monitoring, injury diagnosis, and post-injury rehabilitation tracking, making professional-grade equine health insights available anywhere and at any time. Three flexible service tiers cater to different needs: a once-off analysis (€38) for quick lameness screening, a Monthly Routine Package (€35/month) for ongoing preventive monitoring, and a Diagnostic & Rehab Package (€100/month) for intensive injury management with up to three reports per month. MotionPro is particularly valuable for early lameness detection, which can prevent serious injuries, reduce treatment costs, and improve overall horse welfare. The technology is positioned as a step toward a future with fewer equine lameness cases and faster, better-informed recovery processes. Note: the application is currently available for iPhone users only.
Key Features
- AI-Powered Motion Analysis: Uses Sleip's computer vision AI to analyze horse movement from a standard smartphone trot-up video, identifying lameness indicators without any additional hardware.
- Stride-by-Stride Biomechanical Data: Returns synchronized video playback and precise biomechanical metrics for every stride, enabling granular assessment of gait asymmetries.
- Veterinary Reports: Each analysis is reviewed by a qualified team of veterinarians who deliver a detailed written report alongside the AI-generated data.
- Flexible Subscription Tiers: Three plans — once-off (€38), monthly routine (€35/month), and diagnostic & rehab (€100/month) — cater to different monitoring frequencies and use cases.
- Anywhere, Anytime Assessments: Exams can be conducted from any location using just an iPhone, making professional-grade diagnostics accessible in the field, at the yard, or while travelling.
Use Cases
- Routine monthly soundness monitoring for performance and competition horses to catch subtle gait changes before they escalate.
- Post-injury rehabilitation tracking, comparing biomechanical data across multiple assessments to objectively measure recovery progress.
- Pre-purchase screening, giving prospective buyers an accessible AI-backed lameness check before committing to a sale.
- Before-and-after comparison of therapeutic interventions such as shockwave therapy, shoeing changes, or physiotherapy to measure efficacy.
- Early lameness detection for horses in active training, enabling trainers to adjust workloads and reduce the risk of serious injury.
Pros
- No Specialist Hardware Required: Only an iPhone is needed, dramatically lowering the barrier to entry compared to traditional lameness diagnostic equipment.
- Fast Turnaround: AI analysis and veterinary reports are returned within minutes of video upload, enabling prompt decision-making.
- Combines AI with Expert Review: Results are not purely algorithmic — a professional veterinary team reviews and contextualises every report, adding clinical credibility.
- Supports Preventive Care: The monthly routine package enables early lameness detection before a minor gait irregularity develops into a serious, costly injury.
Cons
- iPhone Only: Android users are currently excluded, significantly limiting the potential user base among horse owners and yard professionals who use non-Apple devices.
- Ongoing Subscription Cost: Regular monitoring requires a monthly subscription, which may be a barrier for individual hobbyist owners managing multiple horses on a tight budget.
- Not a Real-Time Diagnostic Tool: Videos must be uploaded and processed remotely, so the tool cannot replace on-site veterinary examination for acute or emergency lameness assessments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does MotionPro detect lameness in horses?
MotionPro uses Sleip's AI-powered computer vision to analyze trot-up videos recorded on a smartphone. The AI measures biomechanical gait data stride by stride, identifying asymmetries and movement patterns associated with lameness. A veterinary team then reviews the data and provides a detailed report.
Do I need any special equipment to use MotionPro?
No specialist hardware is required. You only need an iPhone and the MotionPro app. The recording, upload, and analysis all happen through the smartphone application.
How quickly will I receive analysis results?
The AI processes the video and returns stride-by-stride analysis results within minutes of upload. A full veterinary report follows shortly after, typically on the same day.
Can MotionPro be used to track rehabilitation after an injury?
Yes. The Diagnostic & Rehab Package (€100/month) is specifically designed for monitoring recovery, providing up to three video analyses and reports per month to track progress and detect any setbacks during rehabilitation.
Is MotionPro available for Android users?
Currently, MotionPro is only available for iPhone users. Android support has not been announced. Prospective users with Android devices should contact the MotionPro team for updates.
