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.
