How does it work?IMInnov’s innovation: EquiSure™ elite equestrian magazine #eliteequestrian

The rider records his / her personal data (surname, first name, telephone number of persons to be notified in the event of an accident etc.) and their horse (name, etc.) on a dedicated application. He fixes his / her beacon on their riding hat and that of the horse’s on its tack, without the need to use any kind of cable. In order to transmit the alerts, the rider must obtain a small SIM card (from the provider of their choice) and install it on the horse’s beacon.

In the event of a fall, in addition to the position of the accident obtained by geolocation, the intensity of this one is measured. The measure that determines the severity of the fall is attached to the message sent to third parties or relief so that they are informed from the moment of the accident of the severity of it and can act more appropriately in knowledge of cause.

The rider remains master of the situation whatever happens. If he is conscious and he can move, that he believes to dominate the situation, he can cancel the alert using his own device (SOS button) or his mobile phone. If it is unconscious or cannot cancel the alert, if the cancellation is not sent to the device carried by the horse it sends the alert by SMS to previously saved numbers.

After the rider and the horse have separated, EquiSure™ continues to follow the movement of the horse to find it as soon as possible. If necessary, the rider can initiate an alert voluntarily by using the SOS button placed on their beacon. The alert is then sent to the pre-registered contacts.A rider connected is a rider safeEquiSure™ is available as pre-order at the price of 299 € RRP at www.equisure.eu Delivery Early Summer 2018IMInnov’s innovation: EquiSure™ elite equestrian magazine #eliteequestrian
