Joipaw say they have created an Apple Health-style tracker that can measure canine health.<br /><br />It includes an interactive whack-a-mole-style game that provides data on the pet's state of mind.<br /><br />Joipaw is the brainchild of Dersim Avdar and Marco Jenny, who say the aim is to alert owners if any abnormal behaviour is detected.<br /><br />Dogs wear the tracker on their collar and it sends data on their activities to the app, e.g. steps, time spent resting, playing, walking.<br /><br />They also play games on the console and receive treats when they’re successful.<br /><br />The tech gathers cognitive data in the background, which is also shown in the app.<br /><br />Owners got an overview of their dog’s health on an app, and also early warnings in case anything out of the ordinary is detected by the hardware.<br /><br />Joipaw explain: "Imagine being informed early if your dog is showing signs of joint issues or dog dementia, signs that a human will have a hard time noticing quickly, but that can be sent to your vet to improve diagnostics and treatments.<br /><br />"Our company offers a holistic approach to preventative dog health care. We combine both cognitive and physical stimulation in the form of a dog-tailored console, a wearable and a software platform which allows you to track your dog’s health indicators."
