Felcana is the future of intellectual animal care

Pets for many of us are an integral part of the family. We get used to them, talk to them, take care of them and sometimes worry about them even more than about other people. As soon as our pets start to get sick, we ourselves have a difficult time. After all, people can say that and where it hurts, but the animal - unfortunately, does not have this opportunity. In order to maintain the health of your pets, you need a balanced diet and periodic inspection by veterinarians. Today, we decided to head to London (UK), where Felcana created the first digital platform to track your pets' health, collecting and analyzing data on their activity, sleep, nutrition, and recording any abnormalities and promptly notifies you of this.

Features of the novelty

The rhythm of modern life is fast enough - you need to have time to do many things - work, devote time to family and take care of home chores. In addition, if you still have pets, you can only dream of peace. Moreover, if cats "walk on their own," dogs should be periodically strolled and surrounded by attention. Pets are not only joy and happiness, but also a huge responsibility for their health, life and safety. To ease these concerns, there are varieties of cool gadgets, the most impressive of which we periodically tell you.

Earlier, we wrote about the smart dog and cat collar Scollar Mini from the American company Scollar. It alone can replace many other devices and will remind you of the need to feed the animal, make the necessary vaccinations, carry out insecticide therapy, receive built-in LED lighting and track its current location via GPS navigation (more information on Scollar Mini can be viewed at the link below).

Today's novelty does not have a built-in GPS beacon, because, according to the manufacturer, it costs quite expensive, very much consumes the battery and installing it in this device was not economical. Felcana is not just a smart collar; it is a whole system of several parts. The first one is the Helix medical tracker that will be on your cat or dog's collar. The second is the Mirco-Location miniature beacons, which are installed all over the house and help to collect the necessary information about your pet. The third is the Home Hub, a base station used for recharging and tracking the location of a tracker up to 1200 m.

Next, let us look at each component in more detail. Each pet is an individual who has his or her body temperature and health parameters that are unique to him and no longer repeated by anyone. The medical tracker is made of durable materials that are resistant to biting, getting wet and any activity of your pet. It has dimensions of 16 * 46 * 10 mm (width * length * height) and its weight is only 9 g. The built-in battery's autonomy is 14 days without recharging, which lasts about four hours. The degree of dust and moisture protection of the device is IP67. The device is 200m away from your smartphone without using the Home Hub. It is designed to measure active movement (running, walking, jumping), as well as activities related to drinking, eating and sleeping. A specially designed analytical platform carefully gathers all the information, analyzes it and your animal as a whole to determine what the norm is for it. If the pet suddenly gets lost, you can turn on the tracker LED with the program and find it.

The device then performs a daily analysis of the behavior of the dog or cat and records any deviations that occur with it. Felcana has its own mobile app designed for gadgets that run on both iOS and Android, as well as web browsers that can be recognized by all browsers without exception. Helix tracker allows you to track and notice in timely manner possible problems such as polydipsia (alcohol consumption), lethargy, activity changes, increased frequency of toilet visits, and loss of appetite. This may indicate the presence of diseases such as diabetes, obesity, arthritis, gastritis. Moreover, it is also the first signal of less common illnesses and the first indication that it is worth showing your pet to a trained professional.

By the way, all applications are absolutely free and do not have any hidden fees. In addition, the device operates worldwide, not just within the European Union. Miniature Mirco-Location beacons are installed all over the house where you would like to capture the activity of your animals: in the bedroom, on the stairs, in the living room, in the kitchen, in the garden, in the bathroom. In addition, you can attach them to key items of interest for pets: near a bowl of water, a feeder with food, beds for animals, restrooms, places for games and activities. The lighthouse protection level is IP67. Their batteries last for 18 months of uninterrupted operation. Batteries are variable and can be replaced by others. The dimensions of each lighthouse are small and are only 25 * 25 * 11 mm (length * width * thickness). The tracker and smartphone are communicating with the use of Bluetooth 4.2 technology. The lighthouse is 10 m away.

The Hub Transmitter is designed to charge a medical tracker and track its location at a distance of 1200 meters. It uses radio signal technology. In this case, the connection to the tracker and smartphone is due to the use of Wi-Fi. Its dimensions are 53 * 80 * 16 mm (width * length * thickness). A micro USB cable and a 5V adapter power the transmitter. The manufacturer recommends using all parts of the system to keep your pets out of sight.
