4 Innovative health monitoring devices for pets and livestock
Researchers have created a smart collar that can detect pet’s feelings using artificial intelligence!
Wearable devices for animals are on the rise due to their ability to provide real-time pet health monitoring, enhancing the chances of early disease detection and intervention. These devices, equipped with sensors and GPS technology, allow pet owners to track their animals’ vital signs, nutrition requirements, activity levels, and whereabouts.
This report discusses innovative animal healthcare solutions developed using wearable devices in 2024. The comprehensive report also discusses other trends, such as artificial intelligence, functional feed products, real-time monitors, etc. Fill out the form below to get access to the complete report.
Mars developed a wearable system to track your pet’s eating habits
Pet owners often lack an understanding of their pets’ needs, resulting in overfeeding or underfeeding, which can lead to potential health issues. Additionally, some owners may be unaware of the distinct nutritional requirements based on their pet’s breed, contributing to health-related challenges for their animals.
Mars has developed a wearable monitoring system that uses processors and sensors to compare historical eating records with current readings to identify and notify any deviations in animal eating patterns. The system’s processors evaluate records containing data on past eating events and establish baseline, upper limit, and lower limit threshold values. Meanwhile, sensors collect details about the total current meal event value, summarizing the cumulative duration or other relevant metrics for recent pet meal events.
The processors then analyze if the current total meal event value surpasses the historical subset’s upper or lower threshold set. This analysis indicates if there is a significant deviation in the pet’s eating behavior compared to historical patterns, potentially suggesting the presence of an illness. Following this analysis, the processors generate and issue notifications to convey information or alerts about changes in the pet’s eating behavior.
Pumpkin co Inc. developed a method of understanding your pet’s feelings!
Pets can feel anxious and sad if left alone for too long, leading to behavior problems. So, ensuring pets are emotionally happy is key to having a well-behaved pet. However, understanding pets’ feelings can be tricky for pet owners.
Pumpkin Co. Inc. has developed a smart leash and condition measurement system. The system involves a wearable belt with a heart rate and posture measurement unit for pets that transmits signals to a device to analyze the pet’s condition. An artificial intelligence model then processes these signals. The system provides a comprehensive approach to monitor and understand a pet’s well-being and emotional state.

Max K. developed a wearable temperature monitoring system for pets.
Changes in animal body temperature reflect various conditions, such as illness, specific physiological stages, or alterations in the external environment. Measuring animal body temperature allows for comprehensive health monitoring and analysis of the pet and a deeper understanding of physiological changes. This challenges pet owners or livestock farmers, as they cannot monitor temperature regularly and have to make frequent visits to the vet.
Max K. has developed a wearable temperature monitoring system. This device is designed to be worn on the pet’s body, ensuring constant contact with the pet’s skin for accurate temperature measurements. The device combines wearable technology, temperature sensors, wireless communication, and a user-friendly interface.
The setup comprises two temperature sensors, one which captures the pet skin’s temperature and the other the ambient temperature. An AI learning model then utilizes ambient temperature data to correct the temperature details captured for the skin to provide accurate measurements. The corrected temperature details are then relayed to a user terminal through a wireless communication system that enables remote monitoring.
Shanghai Hongyu Medical Tech developed a Wearable monitoring system for pets.
Another challenge in the pet health monitoring system is that there can be an emergency when the animals are left alone in the home while owners go out. Not being taken to the vet on time can lead to serious medical conditions for the pets.
SHANGHAI HONGYU MEDICAL TECH has developed a Wearable wireless health monitoring system. The wearable pet system consists of multiple pet monitoring terminals and a mobile device capable of wireless communication with these terminals. The system measures ECG data, respiration, and temperature, then wirelessly transmits this data to mobile devices.
This data allows pet owners and veterinarians to monitor vital signs continuously and prevent unforeseen emergencies.
