Context

Country: Unknown
State/Province: Unknown
Period: Unknown
Canada: From acquisition worksheet: "Developed by former RIM/Blackberry scientists, Peter Mankowski and Louri Besperstov, as a way to bring digital biometric monitoring to animal husbandry. It was conceived with the private owner in mind rather than the “farmer” which would allow the owner/rider to monitor their horse while stabled away from the owner’s home. This technology is representative of small technology firms that are developed in economic and intellectual incubators. Where the incubator provides office space, shared administrative resources, business mentorship, etc. while the start up technology company is freed from those constraints to concentrate solely on the product. Incubators were created largely as a response to the “bursting” of the tech bubble to create a space where these companies could find investment and succeed when loaning institutions (like banks) may no longer see viable financial risks."
Function: Used to wirelessly charge the biometric sensor.
Technical: From acquisition worksheet: "The SeeHorse sensor monitors a horse’s heartrate, temperature, respiration, movement, and orientation. It sends the user/owner/rider this information via a smartphone app as monitoring data or can have special alerts to monitor for specific changes in the horse’s health. This allows the user/owner/rider to have realtime data about their horse’s health while away."
