CAHM: Companion Animal Health Monitoring System

Published: 03 May 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Internet of Things or IoT changes each and everyone's lives. It generally changes the way human interact with their environment and objects. In this project, IoT was conceptualized with improve human and pet interaction by medical or health opportunity, through information retrieval. This study is about the development of a mobile application, paired with a customized hardware device strapped on to the dog's collar called CAHM. Companion Animal Health Monitoring Application or CAHM is an application intended for the use of both pet owners and veterinarians. The system features the smart collar that has location tracking, heart rate tracking, body temperature and monitoring dog pet's activity. Functionality and usability testing were done in order to attain the developed systems' full features and gather feedback from the intended beneficiaries of the system. Testing results shows that every component of the systems works accordingly and intended beneficiaries are satisfied with the application.
