Unlock the future of horse racing safety with our distinguished guests, Drs. Denise McSweeney and Warwick Bayly, as they unpack the cutting-edge world of equine technology. Remember the tragic events at Santa Anita racetrack in 2019? Discover how they acted as a catalyst for the innovative StrideSafe technology, a tool born from StrideMaster in Australia, now essential for assessing stride characteristics in thoroughbreds. Our conversation takes you behind the scenes at renowned tracks such as Washington State University, Saratoga, and Belmont, where this technology is transforming efforts to prevent catastrophic injuries.
Imagine a world where artificial intelligence can foresee equine injuries before they happen. This episode promises insights into the StrideSafe technology's partnership with AI, offering groundbreaking potential to preemptively identify high-risk horses. Join us as we delve into a comprehensive study involving 28,000 horse starts and the fascinating role of PET scans in correlating injury severity. With backing from computer scientists and electrical engineers, the potential to distinguish between different types of injuries through stride analysis is closer than ever.
Beyond the tech, it’s about the welfare of our equine athletes. Learn how accelerometers and PET scans are becoming invaluable allies for veterinarians and trainers in their quest to improve horse welfare. Denise and Warwick share their vision of collaboration among industry professionals as a cornerstone for change, emphasizing the shared responsibility for the well-being of these majestic creatures. Their recent article published in JAVMA is a testament to their commitment, and we encourage our listeners to explore this vital contribution to equine health research. Don't miss the chance to be part of this enlightening journey that promises to change the future of horse racing.
