IoT dog thermometer: collar and app

Working smart collar prototype that measures the dog’s temperature and the ambient temperature, and alerts owners to possible risk situations.

Pets Startup $50,000 – $100,000 6 – 12 months

The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.

Why design an IoT dog thermometer?

1

Measuring at home is not easy

Fur and the normal temperature variation across breeds and conditions make real-time measurement difficult.

2

Dog and environment at once

It systematically measures the dog’s temperature and the ambient temperature, and assesses its activity level.

3

Alerts for owners

An algorithm analyzes the collar’s data to warn of possible risk situations.

4

A model that improves

A collaborative app will make it possible to build, with the community, an increasingly effective AI model.

“Measuring the temperature of a dog with fur, on the move and in the sun seems simple until you have to do it all day from a collar. That is where electronics and software had to be thought through together. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
