How Will Smart Wearables Drive the Veterinary Industry?

Technological advancements are not just confined to human lives but also applied to improve animal lives.

Fremont, CA: Technologies like IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and augmented reality have made human lives smarter by taking to the next level. Smart wearables are the most profitable business worldwide and will contribute to the enormous profits in the market in the next ten years. Eventually, pets and livestock can get smarter with these devices. Began with an easily readable tag to identify animals, the wearable technology has gained significant priority in the market.

Now, veterinary doctors are recommending smartwatches, wearables, smart clothing, GPS trackers, fitness trackers, activity trackers, skin patches, pet cameras, medical devices, pet-to-human translators, and many more to monitor their patient’s health.
