PetPace 2.0 is reshaping pet health monitoring with a veterinarian-grade, AI-driven collar that improves pet welfare through continuous remote monitoring. Designed to give pet owners greater peace of mind and to help veterinarians detect illness earlier, the PetPace collar captures vast amounts of biometric data and applies proprietary analytics to deliver actionable, near real-time alerts. The device is backed by published research and collaborations with leading universities.
BURLINGTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PetPace™, a leader in advanced pet health monitoring, today announced the release of PetPace 2.0. This next-generation smart dog collar combines veterinary-grade sensors with AI and machine learning to provide continuous medical insights, early detection of potential problems, remote monitoring for veterinarians, and GPS location tracking. By monitoring pets in their natural environment, PetPace helps owners and clinicians respond faster to health changes, improving outcomes and quality of life.
“Monitoring trends and changes across multiple health indicators can alert owners when something is wrong, prompting earlier veterinary care and preventing conditions from worsening.”
PetPace 2.0 stands out because it measures a comprehensive set of vital signs and behavioral indicators, not just a few isolated metrics. The collar records internal temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, heart rate variability (HRV), activity levels, sleep quality, posture, and behavior patterns. It also introduces a patent-pending pain indicator, a personalized health profile, a wellness index, and a workout intensity assessment to provide a fuller picture of a pet’s condition.
The device relies on multiple non-invasive, non-irradiating, passive sensors that work together to produce reliable data:
- Thermometers for internal temperature monitoring
- Acoustic sensors to detect pulse, HRV, and respiration
- 6-axis accelerometers to analyze activity, calorie expenditure, and posture
- GPS for location and movement tracking
PetPace technology is the result of more than a decade of research and validation with top research institutes and universities. “Dogs instinctively hide pain and discomfort, which can delay diagnosis,” explains Dr. Asaf Dagan, DVM, DAVBP, CVA, co-founder of PetPace. “Continuous monitoring of multiple biometrics gives veterinarians and owners objective, real-world data to catch problems early—long before signs become obvious.”
Using AI and machine learning, PetPace analyzes patterns over time and generates personalized alerts and wellness scores based on its exclusive database. The system supports remote veterinary assessment by providing objective metrics from the pet’s everyday environment. PetPace also offers goal tracking and location services while refining its models as it gathers more data on each animal.
Regular trend monitoring across multiple indicators helps owners detect subtle changes in their pet’s health. Those early warnings can prompt timely veterinary visits and more effective intervention. Veterinarians can use the data to make better-informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment, even when the pet is at home.
