IOT-Enabled Smart Collar for Pet Animals

Pet health is a serious consideration for modern pet owners, particularly because pet owners have steadily moved to using more smart monitoring systems. Traditional pet-tracking solutions were typically isolated by health monitoring and location monitoring systems not interfaced together in a one small monitoring system. This project addresses these concerns by proposing a wearable device with a mobile application that will monitor a dog's vital parameters and location in real- time. The results are based on the use of a wearable system using a ESP32 microcontroller to interface with a NEO-6M GPS module to collect and report the location along with a LM35 temperature sensor to gather the dog's body temperature and a pulse oximeter sensor that will collect SpO2 and heart-rate data. The ESP32 will use its built-in Wi-Fi capabilities to transmit that data to Firebase to allow a seamless connection to the Android application. The Android application will communicate with Firebase to retrieve location and health metrics and display on the application. The application will allow members to customize geofencing parameters and track location so that if a dog moves away from the designated plus or minus geofencing boundaries alerts are sent to its' users. The wearable uses a small, efficient, and effective monitoring system that will allow users to monitor their pet in real-time and improve pet care and owner awareness.
