“…Heart rate is a vital sign considered by fewer studies. Here, there are different ways to measure this aspect: by using a data converter integrated circuit that register cardiac signals (Quispe Bonilla et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2022), an integrated pulse oximeter and heart rate monitor module (Zhang et al, 2020), an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor (Reigones & Gaspar, 2021), or with and photoplethysmography sensor (Miller et al, 2023). Besides the ways considered in these studies, there are other possibilities to monitor heart rate, e.g.…”

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in livestock is not new; applications in this field cover from simple animal identification to complete traceability systems. The monitoring of vital signs of livestock is an issue of farming in which ICT is applied. This paper presents a systematic literature review of proposals for monitoring vital signs in different types of livestock. For this purpose, PRISMA methodology has been applied, with its three phases: Planning, Conducting, and Reporting. Papers from journals and conferences, between 2017 and 2023, have been considered. Long-range monitoring of signs, such as movement, geo-position, body temperature, or heart rate, are the main trends of the analyzed papers and commercial products. Therefore, there are opportunities for developing devices or products that monitor other vital signs, like blood pressure or blood oxygen saturation.

In the past decade, wearable sensors for animals have been significantly advanced. When paired with advanced analysis tools such as machine learning, they can unveil correlations of the sensed information with animals' health and well-being. While they hold great promise, large-scale deployment in a herd has been quite limited due to intrinsic challenges in network communication among the sensors. Herein, in this study, based on our previous success of developing wearable vital sign sensors for individual horses, we demonstrate application of networking these wearable sensors in a herd. A single device not only features a Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor that measures heart rates with 95% accuracy but also incorporates a GPS module for location tracking, a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope for motion detection, offering a holistic sensing solution.Secondly, a network that interconnects these sensors in an equine herd for long-range communication and high-speed computation has been designed and implemented. Through such an internet of things (IoT) network, collective health, and behaviors of the horses in a herd setting can be studied, thus their differences when compared to an individual horse setting can be understood. Such an IoT system is one of the first in the field, if not the only one, designed specifically for use with horses, thus paving a new route to precision agriculture.
