We are Five Electrical and Electronic Masters students at Queens University Belfast, developing a wearable device for sheep called EweAlert. This device utilizes advanced sensors to monitor key physiological metrics like body temperature, ECG, movement patterns, and contractions in ewes approaching labour.
Our user-friendly app, available on mobile and web platforms, allows farmers to access real-time data conveniently. The device aims to empower farmers with timely information, enhancing care during the crucial pre-labour period. Notifications alert farmers when signs of labour are detected. We're conducting a survey to gather insights for refining our innovative solution.
