Abstract
A system and method for monitoring the health of an animal using multiple sensors is described. The wearable device may include one or more sensors whose resultant signal levels may be analyzed in the wearable device or uploaded to a data management server for additional analysis.
Claims20
A wearable device comprising:
- a processor;
- an accelerometer;
- an ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system including a first inward-facing antenna through which a UWB signal is transmitted and a second inward-facing antenna through which a return UWB signal is received;
- and
- memory storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive a signal from the accelerometer;
- weight the signal received from the accelerometer;
- determine, based on the weighted signal, whether a probability that an event has occurred is over a threshold associated with the event;
- based on determining that the probability that the event has occurred is over the threshold associated with the event:
- generate a UWB signal;
- receive a return UWB signal;
- determine whether the return UWB signal is associated with a condition;
- and
- based on determining that the UWB signal indicates the condition, generate an alert.

A wearable device comprising:
- a processor;
- a global positioning system (GPS) receiver;
- an accelerometer;
- a communication interface;
- an ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system including a first antenna through which a UWB signal is transmitted and a second antenna through which a return UWB signal is received;
- and
- memory storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive sensor data collected by the sensor;
- determine, based on the sensor data, whether a health condition of an animal wearing the wearable device is over a threshold associated with the health condition;
- and
- based on determining that the health condition is over the threshold associated with the health condition, send an alert via the communication interface.
