## Description

Protequus is an Austin, Texas-based biomedical engineering firm focused on equine health and safety. Driven by a commitment to protecting horses, the company develops and commercializes technology intended to help owners and professionals identify distress and make more informed care decisions. Its flagship product, the NIGHTWATCH smart halter, is an equine distress and wellness monitoring system for performance, pregnant, and other high-risk horses.

Made from natural leather with a breakaway design, the halter monitors a horse’s heart rate, respiration, and activity. It can send alerts by text, phone, and email when signs of distress are detected, and supports GPS location, cellular connectivity, and Wi-Fi. Through a mobile app for iOS and Android, users can review real-time and historical data, including the Equine Distress Index score. The system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to adapt to individual horses over time. Protequus presents NIGHTWATCH as a monitoring solution for use at home, in the field, or in clinics, serving horse owners, trainers, breeders, and veterinarians.
