Abstract
A method and system for the continuous monitoring of animal physiology in laboratory animal cages through the use of miniaturized sensors located throughout the cage and in various fashions including the ability to identify each rodent's digital sensory signature through data fusion and artificial intelligence.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a housing;
- at least two sensors, one of which is an ultrawideband (UWB) radar, in the housing configured to send UWB signals toward a predetermined space relative to the housing and receive reflected UWB signals;
- a processor configured to receive signals from the two sensors;
- and
- a memory configured to store information relating to information contained in the signals received at the processor.
2 more elements
The system according to claim 8,
- wherein the processor determines a quality of data from the at least one of the sensors.
A method comprising:
- sending, via a first sensor comprising an ultrawideband (UWB) radar, UWB signals from a housing to a predefined space relative to the housing;
- receiving, from the predefined space and via the first sensor, UWB signals reflected from a subject in the predefined space;
- processing the received UWB signals to determine a heart rate;
- receiving, from the predefined space and via a second sensor, additional information;
- combining, into a dataset, the determined heart rate and the additional information;
- and
- storing, in a storage, the dataset.
