[#Wittels-]

From Las Vegas | At CES Unveiled showed a device that changes color if the animal is under a lot of stress or sad.

There are various engineers around the world working on devices that can communicate with pets in an efficient way. For now, at CES 2022 a Japanese SME presented a smart collar together with software that allows you to know if your dog is stressed, sad or happy according to its heart rate and vital signs.

This is Inupathy, a product that was presented in the advance of CES 2022 in which TN Tecno participated. The device has two versions, depending on the size of the pet, and in both cases it is attached to the animal's body with a strap.

The trick, as explained by its creators to TN Tecno, consists of developing an application that crosses different variables with artificial intelligence to tell you on your cell phone what your dog's state of mind is. In addition, it has lights that change color to alert different feelings of the animal.

"It was not a product initially designed for animal health purposes, we wanted to know if the dog's health could be known in real time and we ended up working with several engineers and veterinarians to make this product," said Joji Yamaguchi, creator of the product, a TN Techno.

Inpathy will hit the international market (Asia, Europe and the United States) during 2022 and the smaller version of the product will be on sale for $ 69.

A collar monitors the behavior of the animal and alerts the vet at any time
In front of the Inpathy booth, at CES Unveiled 2022 (the “inventors” section of CES), was a giant of the dog collar industry: Invoxia, which presented a product much more aimed at recording the health of dogs. pets. .

It is a biometric device that measures the breathing, behavior and heart rate of the animal. It also monitors it by GPS.

From the Invoxia booth they explained to TN Tecno that they came to this product after working with certified veterinary cardiologists to develop deep learning artificial intelligence that uses miniaturized radar sensors.

 

The Invoxia collar crosses medical data of the animal to alert of anomalous behaviors.
In addition, the software is connected to a large database to measure and compare variables and send alerts to the family or the veterinarian in charge so that they can follow up. "We could not say that it predicts diseases, but it does warn of abnormal behaviors so that they can be studied by a professional", described in TN Tecno by the executive management of the company Amélie Caudron.
