Abstract

Pet owners have been the subject of 60% of the complaints received by the Veterinary Services Department (DVS) during the previous two years. In recent times, many pet owners have failed to grasp the complexities of pet health issues. This includes the missing pet cases that have gone up a lot. The main cause for the rapidly growing number of reported cases is that, pet owners are experiencing financial challenges as a result of high-priced veterinary costs. In spite of this, many pet owners find it difficult to assume responsibility for their pet's safety. This project was created to monitor the health state of pets and to track their movements safely. Aside from that, the goal of this project is to validate this developed health monitoring collar towards animals in order to track their location and health status by using smartphone. This project embedded in a pulse/heart beat and temperature sensor to detect, GPS module to track location, LoRa module as transmission medium to transmit data and Arduino Nano to process the data. The real time monitoring health status and location can be present on the Blynk application which have been installed by the pet owners in their smartphones. As the results, this project has been successfully developed and is fully validated with the real pet. The condition and location of the pet can be freely monitored through the Blynk application by the pet owner. In conclusion, the project will be very helpful for pet owners to monitor health status and to track the current location of the pet in real time.
