Project summary:

The aim of the project is to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) system that will use the latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology and artificial intelligence-based algorithms to analyze the spectrum of low-frequency signals from dairy animals (cows, goats and sheep) for the diagnosis of conditionally pathogenic bacteria. The main components of the system: 3 high-fidelity acoustic biosensors; a server where all data will be stored and analyzed; a user interface (UI) to monitor the health status of each animal. The scientific aim of the project is to develop and implement an innovative, non-invasive, fast, dynamically controllable and remotely traceable diagnostic principle for animals.
