Protequus® is a biomedical engineering firm based in Austin, TX (USA) working to protect the welfare of animals through advances in AI, biosensors, and IoT connectivity.

Founded in 2013 after the sudden loss of one of his horses to colic, Jeffrey Schab, an accomplished equestrian, biomedical engineer, and successful entrepreneur created an early-warning solution to combat colic. Today that solution is an AI-driven, IoT-enabled, predictive-health wearable known as the NIGHTWATCH® smart halter™. After nearly a decade, Protequus® has only begun to scratch the surface and is now working to protect these animals while in transit, during foaling, and after exercise.
