Invoxia has announced an intelligent dog collar at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show with advanced heart tracking technology on par with human electrocardiograms.
Using sensors and artificial intelligence, it can track and monitor a dog's respiratory and heart vitals and activity to provide a 360-degree overview of its health, well-being, and whereabouts.
Veterinary specialists helped develop the collar. It captures and processes health data via miniaturized radar sensors, accelerometers, and edge AI within the collar to measure movement, respiratory and heart rates that would otherwise be impossible without uncomfortable electrodes.
Using a proprietary technology called Heartprint, It provides a 2D visual representation of a dog's cardio-pulmonary system through continuous measurements. It contains valuable information about the state of the heart that changes based on stress, pain, tonus levels, and heart diseases.
A Heartprint Signature, like an ECG, provides information on the timings of each heartbeat and helps detect and analyze various forms of arrhythmia and other anomalies in the resting beats pattern.
Besides measuring vital signs, the collar includes 24/7 location and behavioral and activity tracking.
The intelligent escape alerts can help owners track even the most runaway-prone dog — and with geo-fencing, users can set parameters and be alerted if a dog strays. With a built-in buzzer, users can detect when a dog is close by, if it's hiding under a car, or trapped in a garage.
Pricing & Availability
The Smart Dog Collar will be available in quarter three of 2023 for $149, with data subscriptions starting from $8.25 per month.

Had me until subscription. Nope, nope, nope.
I wish someone would develop a tracker specifically targeted for cats. Cats need to wear breakaway collars so they don’t choke themselves on a branch or something else and they are able to get it off if they really try so using a tracker mounted on a collar isn’t as reliable as it is for a dog.
There is no need to have a subscription to transfer data. That collar should have been designed to hold it and transfer it to your iPhone or other device locally.
Like was said above - I am well past peak subscriptions. Everyone wants a monthly scratch on your pocket.
