Members: Ari HeiskanenMax Ahonen, Anmol Kumar

Mentors: Gabriele Garavini, Ramón Crespí

The health and well-being of your pets is a priority for any pet owner, but there is a severe shortage of means to monitor your pets' health and especially among canines, with diabetes being one of the prevalent diseases. The problem lies in the lack of accessible, real-time solutions for monitoring and managing canine diabetes. Pet owners and veterinarians often struggle to gain comprehensive insights into a dog's health, leading to difficulties in early disease detection and tailored care.

Canine Diabetes Care aims to develop a comprehensive solution to address the issue of canine diabetes. In practice, the product offered by Canine Diabetes Care is a combination of wearable sensors and a user-friendly mobile app, which enables pet owners and veterinarians to better monitor and uphold a dog's health much more effectively than before. Personalised insight gathered by analysing sensor data will also be a point of focus in development.
