Hi, my name is Julia and I am a college student working on a device that will function as a smart collar for dogs. I know the market already has some of these but I was wondering what features do you think are the vital ones that need to be included in this device. We have a GPS tracker, hope to have a heartbeat sensor, and outside temperature thermometer. But what else do you think would be vital to have measured to have a comprehensive image of a dog's health? We would really appreciate it!

Measuring activity such as scratching, eating/drinking and general activity are also good ideas. Changes in sleeping patterns and patterns of movement would also be beneficial. Good luck on your device Julia!!! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
