EQUICARD 2: accurate heart diagnostics in horses via a fitted ECG registration

The EQUICARD 2 project will de-risk the development and go-to-market of a diagnostic-grade "Clinical Exercise Diagnostics" system. The system will combine an advanced ECG recording 
unit, automated AI-assisted analysis, and a breathable, non-slip ergonomic vest with integrated electrodes to enable veterinarians to accurately detect heart rhythm disorders during exercise without pre-shaving. The physical properties of the vest support high signal quality equivalent to a 12-lead ECG, and a field-testable minimum viable product (MVP) (vest + recorder + 
software) will be validated. Finally, a spin-off valorisation route targeting commercial launch will be established.
