PetPace, the provider of an innovative collar for remote real-time monitoring and analysis of pet vital signs and activity, has been named Israel’s most promising start-up. The company was chosen from more than 150 other companies in an annual competition, which is sponsored by prominent Israeli business daily Calcalist, together with the Israel Export Institute and Israel’s largest commercial bank, Bank HaPoalim.
Designed for use on dogs and cats, the PetPace collar uses non-invasive sensors to accurately and continuously monitor temperature, pulse, respiration, activity levels, positions, calories and more throughout the day. The data, accessible to pet owners and veterinarians via smartphone and web applications, is continuously analysed by a cloud-based analytics engine that examines individual, historical and breed-specific attributes. If the collar detects any abnormalities, an alert is sent in real time to owners and veterinarians, allowing for prompt attention and treatment of the issue.
