The ‘Mapping Equine Infectious Diseases’ project is developing a new digital solution (mobile application & web service) to help identify, report and monitor infectious diseases in horses. The system uses artificial intelligence to assess suspected diseases based on the horse's symptoms, basic information and location, and provides the user with options for the diseases most likely to have infected the horse.

The project investigates the occurrence of infectious diseases in horses in Finland, educates the horse industry about new disease threats, disease protection in stables and actions during an outbreak. By influencing the attitudes of the horse industry, the shame associated with disease outbreaks is reduced and horse owners are encouraged to communicate openly. The innovation produced in the project improves the biosecurity of horse stables, speeds up the response to disease situations and reduces the economic and welfare-related harm caused by infectious diseases, and protects people from zoonotic pathogens found in horses.

The project is conducted by the Finnish Equine Information Centre and Savonia University of Applied Sciences. The project's innovation group includes farms engaged in plant production and horse breeding, a riding school, as well as experts in horse health, technology and stable environment. The partners include international and national equine infectious disease surveillance specialists, domestic associations, educational institutions and stables.
