Equi-Track

Problem

In 2017, 29 out of 60 horses living at a Californian ranch were killed when a brush fire consumed the area. The ranch owners had no time to evacuate their horses before they were forced to flee, and no way to track there whereabouts

Approach

Team Equi-Track surveyed 508 horse owners and interviewed private horse owners, a horse farm manager, and an equine veterinarian, to identify the main user scenarios for their product.

Solution

Equi-Track is a wearable piece of leather horse tack which tracks location and activity data, wirelessly transferring it to a mobile app using the T-Mobile 5G and 4G LTE network.
