AI-Powered Equine Movement and Health Monitoring for Molenkoning Horse Walkers
Project Highlights
Client Overview
Molenkoning is a leading manufacturer of high-quality horse walkers, offering premium equipment used by professional horse owners and trainers globally. Their focus is on improving equine health and performance through advanced technology integrated into their existing equipment.
Challenges
The client needed a non-invasive solution to monitor horse movement and health, accurately analyzing gait and performance, while providing real-time data insights for better health management.
- ✓Non-Invasive Monitoring
- ✓Accurate Movement Analysis
- ✓Real-Time Data Insights
- ✓AI-Powered Motion Analysis
- ✓Camera System Integration
- ✓Heart Rate Monitoring
- ✓Data Visualization and Reporting
- ✓Cloud-Based Data Management
Solution
Developed an AI-powered motion analysis system integrating video tracking, heart rate monitoring, and cloud-based data storage for real-time performance insights.
- ✓Horse owners required a solution that wouldn’t require direct contact sensors on the horse, ensuring minimal disruption to the animal during workouts.
- ✓Developing an AI-powered tool capable of accurately detecting subtle asymmetries in a horse's gait.
- ✓Integrating a heart rate monitoring system that would synchronize with the video footage to provide real-time insights into a horse’s physical performance, overall health, and stress levels.
- ✓Leveraging cutting-edge AI and computer vision techniques similar to the Sleip equine biomechanics tool, our custom-built motion analysis model focuses on detecting subtle asymmetries in the horse's gait. and Markerless motion capture technology analyzes video data without requiring sensors directly on the horse, ensuring non-invasive monitoring.
- ✓High-resolution, weatherproof cameras mounted on Molenkoning horse walkers capture key motion points (head, neck, legs, pelvis) from multiple angles, providing a complete analysis of the horse’s gait. and The AI processes the video feed in real-time, generating actionable insights into the horse's movement and biomechanics.
- ✓A Bluetooth-enabled heart rate monitor is attached using specialized gear, syncing heart rate data with video footage. and This integration allows users to correlate the horse's physical exertion and heart rate, identifying overtraining and stress indicators.
- ✓A custom-built mobile app (iOS & Android) provides real-time graphical insights into the horse’s performance, including step symmetry, speed, stride length, and heart rate trends.
- ✓All video data and insights are securely stored in the cloud, making it easy to access historical records and track performance over time.
Conclusion
our AI-powered equine movement and health monitoring system for Molenkoning successfully integrates advanced video analysis and heart rate tracking, providing trainers with real-time, non-invasive insights into a horse's gait and overall health. This solution helps prevent injuries, optimize training, and enhance performance by offering data-driven feedback. Exclusive to Molenkoning clients, the system delivers high value by leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, ensuring both the horse's well-being and the efficiency of training routines.
