We are proud to share that our co-founder, Dr. Elin Hernlund, has been awarded the 2025 Professor Ingvar Fredricson Foundation Scholarship, together with Professors Lars Roepstorff and Marie Rhodin of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU).
The award recognizes their pioneering contributions to equine biomechanics — advancing research and technology that help detect, diagnose, and prevent lameness with greater precision.
At Sleip, we combine biomechanics and AI to help detect and diagnose lameness issue early and increase precision in diagnostics. Elin’s research has been key to shaping our technology, turning science into a practical tool for vets, physios, farriers and trainers who need clear, objective gait data.
The scholarship will be presented during the Jönköping Horse Show on November 2, 2025, followed by a free public clinic with live demonstrations.
We warmly congratulate Elin, Lars, and Marie on this recognition and thank them for their outstanding contributions to equine health, performance, and welfare.

More about Ingvar Fredricson's pioneering research:
New research using insurance data from over 15,000 Swedish Warmbloods highlights how sex, discipline, and early training impact orthopaedic disease risk. Co-authored by Sleip’s Elin Hernlund, the study offers based on population-level data for early detection and prevention in sport horses.
Trunk movement is now shown alongside head and pelvis — giving you an extra reference point when interpreting complex asymmetry patterns.
One of our most requested features is here: You can now export multiple analyses from Sleip — as a PDF report or a web share link.
