A Review on Wearable Devices for Animal Health Monitoring

Internet of Things has changed everyone's life. It often changes the way people interact with their environment and objects. IoT devices use wearable devices that are used to monitor the activities of animals. The Internet of Things for Animal Health (IoTAH) uses biosensors and software to monitor and manage animal health information. This work concerns the development of a mobile application coupled with a hardware device (called CAHM) attached to an animal’s collar. Companion Animal Health Monitoring App. Equipped with a smart collar, the system feature’s location tracking, heart rate, body temperature measurement, disease detection and isolation, detection of reproductive cycles, as well as monitoring physiological wellbeing of the animal. With further advancements in technology, data analysis algorithms and IoT systems, using these technologies we can improve our understanding of animal health, improve prevention and support healthy, happy animals.
