Equinosis

What Equinosis does

Equinosis, LLC is a private veterinary medical device company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Columbia, Missouri. The company manufactures and sells the Equinosis Q with Lameness Locator, a handheld, field-based diagnostic system that uses three body-mounted wireless inertial sensors — sampling at 200Hz with sub-millimeter accuracy — to objectively quantify equine lameness by measuring head and pelvic movement asymmetry. Proprietary algorithms, developed over 20 years of gait analysis research at the University of Missouri under Dr. Kevin Keegan, convert the motion data into clinical lameness metrics and automated limb-by-limb interpretations via the Trial AIDE module. Supporting software includes Stable View for patient workflow, Evaluations View for longitudinal baseline tracking, and Stride Plot for visual gait analysis.

The company sells the Equinosis Q exclusively to licensed registered veterinarians through a direct sales motion, with pricing provided on a quote basis. A recurring-revenue layer is built on top via the Objective Evaluation Support (OES) annual membership, which bundles software updates, clinical and technical support, RACE-approved continuing education, and a 10% hardware discount through the Customer Convenience Center e-commerce portal. Equinosis serves two primary customer segments — equine veterinary practices and veterinary schools/universities — and operates across 35+ countries, with documented adoption by 90% of AAVMC-accredited North American veterinary schools and enterprise customers including large equine hospitals and the Korea Racing Authority. The Eye on Objectivity newsletter, reaching 1,500+ veterinarians in 37+ countries, functions as the company's community-marketing engine.

Direct peers

• Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging: Hallmarq builds standing MRI and CT diagnostic imaging systems specifically for equine use, sold to veterinary practices and teaching hospitals. It is the closest direct peer to Equinosis in terms of high-end equine diagnostic hardware sold B2B to specialist vets.

Emerging players

• PetPace: PetPace makes a smart-collar wearable that uses inertial sensors to continuously monitor dogs' and cats' vital signs and activity. While applied to companion animals rather than equines, it represents the same inertial-sensor-based animal health monitoring technology category as the Equinosis Q.
• VetMeasure: VetMeasure develops wearable IMU-based activity and health monitors for cattle and dairy operations, sold through veterinary and producer channels. It overlaps with Equinosis in the use of body-worn inertial sensors to detect locomotion and behavioral changes in animals.

Broad incumbents

• Heska (Mars Veterinary Health): Heska manufactures in-clinic diagnostic equipment and rapid tests for companion-animal and equine practices, sold B2B to veterinarians. It competes for the same practice-budget dollars and digital-wallet share as Equinosis, but across a much broader diagnostic portfolio.
• IDEXX Laboratories: IDEXX is the dominant global vendor of veterinary diagnostics — in-clinic analyzers, reference lab services, and software. It serves the same equine veterinary customers as Equinosis (often through the same practices) and represents the broad incumbent benchmark in vet diagnostics commercialization.
• Zoetis: Zoetis is the largest pure-play animal health company, offering diagnostics, therapeutics, and monitoring products across species including equine. It overlaps with Equinosis as a broad-equine vendor and as a potential partner or acquirer of niche diagnostics such as the Q.
• Dechra Veterinary Products: Dechra develops and markets veterinary pharmaceuticals, including equine therapies, and sells through veterinary distribution. It addresses the same equine veterinary buyer base as Equinosis, primarily through therapeutics rather than diagnostics, but competes for share of practice spend and CE attention.
