Profile of OfHorse, a Swedish startup harnessing printed sensor technology to capture microsecond-precise data on equine biomechanics
In Elektronik Tidningen nr 7-8 (July–August 2025), Per Henricsson profiles OfHorse, a Swedish startup harnessing printed sensor technology to capture microsecond-precise data on equine biomechanics. Founded by researchers including Sandra Lagerbielke and equine-surface expert Lars Roepstorff, OfHorse delivers a flexible measurement platform—featuring hidden, durable sensors and a companion mobile app—that tracks static and dynamic forces under the hoof and in the tack. Collaborations with partners like show-jumper Peder Fredricson’s Bhoof aim to optimize equipment design, boost horse welfare, and enhance transparency through real-time force monitoring, supporting both high-performance sport and social license to operate.
