Arioneo

What Arioneo does

Arioneo (legal entity LIM France SAS) is a French equine technology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Nontron, operating as part of Groupe LIM. The company designs, manufactures, and sells wearable biometric sensors and associated analytics platforms that simultaneously capture ECG, GPS, and locomotion data from horses at full exercise speed. Its core hardware products are the EQUIMETRE Galop & Trot sensor (for racehorse trainers), the EQUIMETRE VET device (for veterinarians, featuring patented electrodes validated against the Televet gold standard), the EQUISYM locomotion analysis system co-developed with CIRALE (EnvA), and the Orscana daily comfort sensor paired with a mobile app. These feed two analytics platforms — the Equimetre Analysis Platform for trainers and the Dashboard Vet for clinicians — that compute over 300 parameters per session and increasingly apply proprietary AI models for automated arrhythmia detection and locomotor asymmetry classification.

The company monetizes through quote-based subscriptions combining hardware purchase with recurring software and service fees, complemented by paid educational programs under the Arioneo Institute (Essentials and Advanced). Go-to-market is sales-led with personalized demos, onboarding, and dedicated Data Success Managers. Customer segments center on professional racehorse trainers (the primary segment), equine veterinarians specializing in sport medicine, horse owners and breeding operations, sport horse disciplines (show jumping, eventing, dressage), and institutional partners including racing authorities and equestrian federations. Distribution is global (presence across five continents), with marquee reference customers in flat and harness racing and a formal elite partnership with the French Equestrian Federation. Participation in the AAEP Wearable Biometric Sensor Research Project (2025), monitoring over 700 two-year-old Thoroughbreds, marks the company's most significant US-facing industry validation to date.

Scientific validation underpins the commercial offering: EQUIMETRE VET has been validated against Televet with Pearson r=0.992 for heart rate and Kappa K=0.97 for arrhythmia detection; EQUISYM achieves 86% classification accuracy for lame limb identification. All services run on OVH-hosted European servers for GDPR and Cloud Act protection. The company remains privately held, employs 11-50 staff, has raised approximately $1.24 million in disclosed external funding (2016), and is sustained primarily through operating cash flow and parent group backing rather than aggressive venture capital scaling.

Core offering

Arioneo develops and sells patented wearable biometric sensors (EQUIMETRE Galop & Trot for trainers, EQUIMETRE VET for veterinarians, EQUISYM for locomotion analysis, Orscana for daily monitoring) that simultaneously capture ECG, GPS, and locomotion data from horses at full exercise speed. The sensors are bundled with subscription-based analytics platforms (Dashboard Vet, Equimetre Analysis Platform) and supported by the Arioneo Institute training programs (Essentials and Advanced). The offering targets professional racehorse trainers, equine veterinarians, sport horse athletes, breeding operations, and industry institutions.

Product overview

Arioneo is a B2B equine technology company (subsidiary of Groupe LIM) offering a portfolio of connected sensors, analytics platforms, and professional services for racehorse and sport horse health and performance monitoring. The core product line centers on the EQUIMETRE sensor family — EQUIMETRE Galop & Trot for trainers and EQUIMETRE VET for veterinarians — which simultaneously collect ECG, heart rate, locomotion, and GPS data at full exercise speed. Complementary products include EQUISYM for objective locomotion asymmetry analysis (developed with CIRALE/EnvA), the Dashboard Vet analytics platform for ECG and health data interpretation, and Orscana for daily horse comfort monitoring. The ecosystem is tied together by the Equimetre Analysis Platform for trainers and the Arioneo Institute training programs (Essentials and Advanced) for professional upskilling. All products are developed in-house with scientific validation against established gold standards.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Equimetre Galop & Trot Wearable training sensor for racehorses (flat and harness racing) that automatically and simultaneously collects cardio (heart rate, ECG), locomotion (cadence, amplitude, symmetry, regularity), and GPS (speed, distance, acceleration) data during workouts, with an optional 4G live data transmission feature. Designed for professional racehorse trainers.
• Equimetre VET Scientifically validated veterinary sensor with patented electrodes capable of collecting medical-grade ECG at full exercise speed, combined with GPS and locomotion data. Designed for equine veterinarians to support cardiac diagnosis, locomotor analysis, and telemedicine consultations.
• Equisym Veterinary locomotion quantification and analysis solution developed in partnership with CIRALE (EnvA) to aid in the diagnosis of locomotor asymmetries in horses. Uses head, withers, and pelvis sensors to objectively measure gait asymmetries.
• Dashboard Vet Veterinary analytics platform for equine health data analysis, featuring synchronized RR/HR, speed, and ECG curve visualization, automatic arrhythmia detection, PDF reporting, and mirror account sharing for remote telemedicine collaboration between veterinarians and trainers.
• Equimetre Analysis Platform

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core, flagship and minor.

• American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 31 March 2025Arioneo is one of four sensor companies participating in the AAEP's first-of-its-kind prospective Wearable Biometric Sensor Research Project. Over 700 two-year-old Thoroughbred racehorses are monitored to evaluate sensor effectiveness for detecting musculoskeletal injuries. The study is funded by over $900,000 from 11 Thoroughbred industry organizations. Arioneo's sensor data showing horses with yellow/red readings were approximately 2x more likely to sustain musculoskeletal issues contributed to the study findings published in 2026.
• CIRALE (Centre d'Imagerie et de Recherche en Affections Locomotives Équines) - EnvAcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCIRALE (the locomotion research and clinical center of the Normandy equine campus at EnvA - National Veterinary School of Alfort) directly contributed to the design and development of the EQUISYM system. Clinicians and biomechanics experts from CIRALE supported the decision to integrate a withers-mounted sensor, validated through published scientific studies. Pr. Chateau from EnvA is among those credited in EQUISYM's development.
• French Equestrian Federation (Fédération Française d'Equitation)flagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerArioneo and the French Equestrian Federation united their forces in an initiative dedicated to the health, welfare, and performance of equine athletes. Within this collaboration, the Federation's silver medalists were prepared using EQUIMETRE Vet, demonstrating a formal elite partnership for Olympic-level sport horse performance.
• TelevetcoreTechnology or IntegrationTelevet is used as the Gold Standard reference system against which EQUIMETRE is validated in peer-reviewed scientific studies. Both devices are compared in clinical studies for heart rate, HRV, and arrhythmia detection. Televet ECGs contained significantly more artefact during exercise than Equimetre ECGs (5% vs. 0.25%, p<0.001).
• Ciaron Maher RacingminorGTM or Marketing PartnerCase study partnership showcasing how the Arioneo Training System optimizes Ciaron Maher's training strategy. Used as testimonial and reference customer in marketing materials.
• AEDG (Australian Equestrian Design Group)minorGTM or Marketing PartnerArioneo x AEDG partnership referenced in training solutions news section, indicating a marketing or product partnership for the Australian market.
