The Contribution and Application of Implantable and Wearable Devices on Animals

Abstract

Implantable and wearable devices are commonly used on the human body. Such as artificial pacemakers, knee replacement, blood sugar monitors, apple watches. These devices greatly contributed to human life not only keep monitoring their body condition but also expend human life span. They also got developed in applying on the animal body. This paper will demonstrate how contributive implantable and wearable devices on animals. These devices help to position the location of animal that human can find their losing pet and leave some way for animal migration before they jammed in the urban area which may cause causality. They also raise the life span and save the lives of animals, especially wild animals to maintain the operation of the natural environment. Monitoring the body condition of an animal especially to those on the farm will be able to prevent and stop any outbreak of disease. These devices can also maintain the high production of animal husbandry. It is ensured that a well-developed technology not only is applied to the human body but also to animals because it will ultimately benefit our mother nature which is a win-win situation.

Thermal imaging and computer vision technologies for the enhancement of pig husbandry: a review

“…These methods involve close contact with the skin of animals and are generally considered high-stress techniques, which should be taken into account. Wearable devices have also been developed for tracking and tracing animals, such as wireless ear tags that can monitor body temperature, physical signs, and pig mating cycle data [ 96 ].…”
