Piavita AG is a medtech start-up. We aim at revolutionizing the veterinary medicine. Thanks to state of the art sensor technologies our product, the Piavita-System, allows for easy and precise measurement of vital signs of horses - from anywhere and anytime. The Piavita-System measures Electrocardiography (ECG), Puls Sequence & Heart Rate, Respiration Sequence & Rate, Body Core Temperature, and Activity Level & Patterns. The Piavita-System functions wirelessly, non-invasively and through the fur of the horse. It replaces complex manual and costly procedures and offers completely new possibilities for veterinarians to examine and monitor horses. Our clients are veterinarians of animal practices and clinics who treat horses. In the future, the Piavita-System will be refined so it can also be used by breeders and riders. We are sponsored by the Swiss government (Commission for Technology and Innovation - CTI). The Piavita-System is developed in close cooperation with the Animal Clinic of the University of Zurich.
