The Ultimate Health Companion for your Dog
LAIKA
Lika is a groundbreaking application connected to a smart collar designed to revolutionize how dog owners care for their beloved pets. With a comprehensive suite of features, Lika provides real-time monitoring of vital signs, location tracking, and behavioral insights, all aimed at ensuring the optimal health and safety of canine companions
Challenge
The challenge in the canine care landscape has always been early detection and prevention of health issues. Often, by the time symptoms become apparent, conditions may have progressed to a critical stage. Lika sought to change this paradigm by offering a proactive solution that not only monitors a dog's vital signs but also tracks their location and behaviors, all with the goal of predicting and preventing extreme cases before they occur

A missing dog scenario
GET UPDATE
As soon as the application detects something unusual, such as the dog moving away from the home area not for the purpose of a trip or a change in the dog's vital signs, it sends an alert to the user's phone that shows where the dog is and the vital sign with the change, from where the user can access Collar Control and perform the necessary action.
COLLAR CONTROL
When the user clicks on Collar Control, he goes directly to the Collar Control page adapted to the distress situation. In this situation of the dog running away, the page will show us the location of the dog, the location of the house and the distance between them as well as the action buttons and life indicators are also displayed.
CAMERA VIEW
In this situation the user has selected the camera view. In this action we see through the tiny camera that is in the dog's collar. In addition this page will also show us the current location of the dog, we can talk to the dog at the same time and perform any action we want when I see the dog's reaction and hear it at the same time.
