Smart Monitoring for Late-Term Pregnant Mares
FirstBreath uses artificial intelligence to detect the exact moment of foaling and automatically alert the breeder, maximizing the foal's chances of survival.

The Benefits of FirstBreath
Maximum Safety
Continuous 24/7 monitoring to ensure the safety of the mare and foal during foaling.
Accurate Alerts
Instant notifications at the critical moment, enabling quick intervention.
Time Savings
No more sleepless nights or constant monitoring. FirstBreath watches over for you.
Effective Prevention
Reduce the risk of complications with quick and appropriate intervention.
How FirstBreath Works
IP Camera
Installation of high-definition IP cameras in the stable to monitor mares 24/7.
Artificial Intelligence
Our AI analyzes behaviors in real time and detects the warning signs of foaling.
Automatic Alert
As soon as the AI detects the start of the foaling, an alert is sent instantly.
Intervention
The breeder can intervene at the optimal time to ensure the safety of the mare and the foal.
How our technology works
Our system uses deep learning algorithms trained on hundreds of images. AI can recognize specific behaviors and changes that precede foaling.
Alerts are sent via SMS and email to ensure you are notified immediately, wherever you are. The system is designed to minimize false alarms while ensuring that no critical event is missed.
Our ongoing projects
Control Hub
Centralized interface for managing multiple cameras and tracking several mares simultaneously. Ideal for large farms and equestrian centers.
Partners' API
