Physiological Monitoring Devices for Small Animal Health Monitoring
This project aims to develop ultra-miniature physiological sensor systems to measure heart rate, respiratory rate, and core body temperature in small and caged experimental animals. These sensors will be used to monitor animal health in a range of applications, including agriculture, working animals, pharmaceutical industries, and sports. By providing small and caged animals with accurate, non-invasive physiological measurements, the project will help to ensure the health and well-being of animals in these settings. The team at NC State is dedicated to developing these state-of-the-art sensors to provide reliable, accurate data.
