anisteps is a patent pending, mobile first animal health application that assists in the early detection of canine health issues through gait assessment by analysing videos captured on a smartphone.
1
anisteps empowers dog owners, veterinarians and service dog handlers to monitor canine health through smartphone video-based gait analysis. Captured videos can be securely uploaded to a veterinary provider for further expert review, annotation, and diagnosis.
2
In addition to detecting gait-related abnormalities that may indicate pain or illness, anisteps allows users to track key wellness metrics—such as BCS (Body Condition Scoring), diet, medication, worming, and exercise—providing a holistic view of a dog’s physical condition.

The anisteps app brings clinical-level mobility insights into the hands of everyday users without requiring expensive or inaccessible lab equipment.
Approach
Aspect | Traditional Methods | anisteps Approach |
|---|---|---|
Environment | Clinic/lab setting; stress and unfamiliar surfaces alter gait | Captures gait naturally at home or outdoors via mobile app |
Observation | Short, one-off snapshots during appointments |
Continuous, longitudinal monitoring over days/weeks |
Accuracy | Relies on human observation; subtle or early signs often missed | Objective, AI-powered analysis detects even minor asymmetries |
Equipment | Expensive force plates, treadmills, or motion capture systems | Simple mobile app & camera; accessible to vets and owners |
Cost & Accessibility | Tens of thousands of euros; limited to specialist centers | Affordable, scalable, and available to all practices & owners |
Data & Insights | Limited metrics; no longitudinal tracking | Rich data, standardized metrics, trend analysis, ailment identification |
Owner Involvement | Owners dependent on clinic visits | Owners can capture and share data easily from home |
Impact on Outcomes | Conditions often diagnosed late, after significant deterioration | Early diagnosis enables timely intervention, reduced pain, better treatment outcomes, and lower long-term healthcare costs |
