Animal Safety and Welfare App using IOT

Abstract

The increasing need for animal welfare and conservation has led to the development of various technologies to monitor and manage animals. This research paper proposes a mobile application that integrates safety, adoption, foster, and IoT features to enhance animal welfare and conservation. The safety features include a reporting system for animal sightings, emergency alerts, information on local wildlife rehabilitation centres, and public education on animal welfare. The adoption and foster features provide a searchable database of adoptable animals and foster families, online applications and screening processes, in-app communication with shelter staff, and the ability to make donations to animal shelters. The IoT feature incorporates smart collars with sensors to monitor the animal's location, health metrics, and behaviour patterns, providing real-time notifications to the animal owner or caregiver when the animal requires attention or care. The application also includes analytics and data visualization to provide insights into the animal's overall health and behaviour patterns for proactive care. The proposed web application aims to promote animal welfare, conservation, and coexistence with wildlife, ultimately improving the overall well being of animals.
