For example:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>To improve the monitoring of hospitalised patients<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: it\u2019s now possible to assess the animal&#8217;s condition from a mobile phone, without having to do regular physical examinations. This is especially useful when treating more aggressive or frightened patients.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>To encourage telemedicine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: for less seriously ill or injured patients, it\u2019s possible to monitor their health from their home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>To improve the client&#8217;s experience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: with a wearable, it\u2019s not necessary for the client to write down their pet&#8217;s activity on a tracking form, since the vet will already have this information.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Benefits of Using Wearables in Your Veterinary Practice<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of these devices has many advantages for all parties involved (client, patient, and clinic). Let&#8217;s see what they are in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Monitor your patients for several hours<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Thanks to these devices, you can have information on their vitals for several hours, including at times of rest or high activity. This way, you may be able to detect an indicator that can help you prevent diseases.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remote diagnosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Thanks to Bluetooth technology, it\u2019s possible to capture data to make a diagnosis, even without the animal having to go to the clinic in person. This way, the animal will be less stressed, which in turn will improve its welfare.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Save time on routine check-ups<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As vets, you need to make sure that the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/en\/blog\/monitor-dog-heart-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heart and respiratory rate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> looks good during routine check-ups. Thanks to wearables, you can capture this information while the pet is in the waiting room. This way, the check-up will be much quicker!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Convenience for the animal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since there are no wires, a wearable is much more comfortable for the pet when compared to having to be immobile and surrounded by wires.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Real-time alarms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some wearables, such as Dinbeat Uno, allow you to set alarms based on the parameters you customise, so you can instantly know when action is needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Easy data sharing with other professionals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Sometimes it\u2019s necessary to collaborate with a specialist to analyse data, like a cardiogram. Thanks to wearables, the information is directly recorded digitally so that it can be sent to the specialist.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No sedation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. No wires, nothing to bite! So you don&#8217;t need to sedate your patients to monitor their vital signs in detail.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-64120618-6963-4c43-87cf-7bff35a3cf6a\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-64120618-6963-4c43-87cf-7bff35a3cf6a\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-64120618-6963-4c43-87cf-7bff35a3cf6a\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6092775\/64120618-6963-4c43-87cf-7bff35a3cf6a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-64120618-6963-4c43-87cf-7bff35a3cf6a\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6092775\/64120618-6963-4c43-87cf-7bff35a3cf6a.png\" alt=\"New call-to-action\" width=\"750\" height=\"119\" \/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(6092775, '64120618-6963-4c43-87cf-7bff35a3cf6a', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples of Wearable Technology for Animals<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Options such as Voyce allow you to <\/span><b>measure heart rate, respiration, calories burned, and rest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
