Smart Dog Collar: Invoxia analyzes your dog’s activity and, more importantly, their health! #CES2023

Announced at CES last year, where it won several awards, the Smart Dog Collar is making a comeback this year and will be available in a few weeks. As a reminder, this connected collar will allow you to analyze your dog's health and well-being like never before. But this year, Invoxia is taking it a step further by announcing a revolutionary feature at CES 2023: Heartprint Technology, which reveals for the first time the unique signature of a dog's heart!While Invoxia primarily specialized in GPS devices, particularly those without a SIM card and with battery life lasting several weeks, which I really appreciate, the French company is going much further here: while the collar is capable of locating your dog and tracking its activity, it is also capable of monitoring its health. Smart Dog Collar: A Heart to Learn Approximately 1 million dogs in France suffer from heart disease. And yet, heart abnormalities are among the most difficult problems to detect before a serious episode occurs. Up to 20% of dogs suffer from heart disease, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed, or are at high risk.

Some breeds have predispositions, but all are affected once they reach a certain age. The best method for prevention and monitoring of at-risk or sick dogs is measuring their heart and respiratory rates, but this has been very complicated to do non-invasively… Until now!

Smart Dog Collar paves the way for preventative care for pets: the new Heartprint Technology feature, a combination of sensors and AI that works like an ECG, provides a visual representation of the dog's cardiopulmonary system. In short, its unique Heart Signature!

This Cardiac Signature provides information on the timing of each heartbeat and can help detect various abnormalities, such as certain forms of arrhythmias and various heart diseases, stress, tone levels, and pain. Unlike the ECG, which is a 1D temporal signal that is difficult to interpret over long periods of time, the Cardiac Signature is a 2D representation of heartbeats in the form of a Poincaré plot, summarizing valuable and useful information at a glance over a long period of time.
Smart Dog Collar will allow you to more clearly visualize your pet's unique heart patterns and understand them like never before.

While this visual representation of the cardiopulmonary system is already used for cardiovascular measurements in humans, it is a revolutionary methodology in the animal health sector. Non-invasive, usable long-term and at home, this device gives you the ability to react quickly to potential health problems. Smart Dog Collar can help you identify a wide range of conditions and issues related to your dog's health and well-being, such as:

Detecting early symptoms of heart disease.
Monitoring the effectiveness of treatments.
Identifying a decrease in vitality or a change in behavior.

And many more with new features coming soon!

• The app also allows you to keep an eye on your dog's activity, vitality, and well-being: walking, running, eating, resting, scratching, barking, appetite, as well as daily habits. Activity tracking provides a comprehensive overview of your dog's daily activity, ensuring their vitality and physical activity level match their needs.
• Smart Dog Collar uses the LTE-M network, the most innovative for connected devices. It requires less power than traditional 2G, 3G, or 4G networks and is combined with powerful algorithms. This allows the Smart Dog Collar to last several weeks before needing to be recharged.
• Smart Dog Collar will retail for €169, but requires a subscription to operate. Different subscription plans will be available, starting at €8.25/month, allowing you to choose the plan that best suits your needs.
• Invoxia's ambition is to revolutionize the animal health sector, and that starts with Smart Dog Collar and its innovative Heartprint Technology!
