"How can wearable sensors improve farm animal health monitoring?"
In this third and final part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues his conversation with Prof. Suresh Neethirajan, exploring the practical applications of sensors like Fibion SENS in farm animal health. Prof. Neethirajan discusses how wearable sensors are used to monitor animal movement, health, and environmental factors, and highlights the importance of balancing battery life, data accuracy, and device ruggedness in harsh farm conditions. He also touches on the potential for real-time data transmission and the role of AI in processing this information to improve animal welfare and farm management.
The discussion also addresses the need for customizable sensor designs depending on the use case - whether for long-term farm monitoring or experimental research. Prof. Neethirajan shares his insights on how these technologies are evolving to meet the demands of both researchers and farmers, and how the future of farming will increasingly rely on digital solutions like Fibion SENS for continuous, non-invasive monitoring.
