The next frontier in is personalized, predictive medicine. and other biosensors track 24/7 activity
The integration of behavior into veterinary science serves three primary purposes: 1. Reducing Stress and Fear-Free Care heart rate variability (HRV)
FitBark collars, PetPace, and other biosensors track 24/7 activity, heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep patterns. A sudden drop in night-time activity or a change in HRV is often detectable days before a physical symptom of disease (like limping or vomiting). The wearable becomes a tool for the veterinary behaviorist to correlate environmental changes (a thunderstorm, a new pet) with physiological stress. and other biosensors track 24/7 activity
A behavior-informed veterinarian changes the environment:
