Publication number: 20220330527Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for performing analytics for equine-related conditions from fetlock sensors include receiving sensor data from one or more sensors attached to one or more fetlock wearable devices. Each of the one or more fetlock wearable devices are configured to attach to a fetlock of a respective limb of a horse. The analytics system compares the sensor data to one or more baseline measurement values. The analytics system detects a condition responsive to comparing the sensor data to one or more baseline measurement values. The analytics system transmits an alert to one or more remote devices responsive to detecting the condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2021Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: HORSEPOWER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: David Wayne Gilbert, Chandra Mouli Ramani, Victoria Brougham Thompson
