Animal insurance:What are e-health innovations for animals?


E-health:Connected objects have already made it possible for about ten years to improve and care for the health of farmed animals and are now beginning to spread to all pets and help veterinarians.
E-health is no longer limited to the needs of humans but is increasingly becoming widespread with the appearance of solutions and connected objects destined for animals. In France, for historical reasons (first veterinary schools) and economic (second largest animal health market in the world) animal health is one of the concerns of the general public. The needs of breeders, pet owners and veterinarians are therefore important, which has prompted several start-ups and French companies to invest in connected animal health, tools that represent an incredible opportunity for the Followed by their health.

"Since 2015, the animal is no longer considered by the Law as an object but as a living being endowed with sensitivity. Hence more constraints and pressure on veterinarians (pain management, post-operative follow-up, reception conditions ...). E-health solutions can provide a higher level of security and support. Since the pet has become a full member of the family, it must be treated as such, "explains Jean-Luc Chambrin, founder of SKWAZEL.

Livestock solutions

Animal e-health first developed in the livestock sector and particularly in pigs, poultry and ruminants in the last ten years. The aim is not only to improve animal health and monitoring, but also to improve the profitability of livestock. In most cases these connected objects take the form of sensors, placed in a collar or in the organism, which will allow to record biological, zootechnical and behavioral data, which will transmit to the breeder valuable information.

These sensors allow for example:

    -To anticipate calving by detecting variations in temperature of the cow: the breeder is        warned via SMS when calving begins, which in particular reduces mortality
-
To detect heat and control reproduction
-
Monitoring food transitions
-
Analyze health (detection of fevers, hyperthermia ...)
Etc.

These data allow the breeder and the veterinarian to intervene quickly in the event of problems but also offer the former better working conditions and a significant time saving. Since the sensor prevents the breeder, for example, when the calving begins, the breeder no longer needs to multiply the back-and-forth overnight.
