Fi has launched the world’s first AI-powered dog collar, the Series 3+, revolutionizing how pet parents monitor their pets’ health. This innovative collar tracks important behaviors such as scratching, licking, sleep patterns, and water consumption, offering insights that often go overlooked by caregivers. Jonathan Bensamoun, the French founder and CEO of Fi, emphasizes that this technology caters to all dogs and guardians who desire a deeper understanding of their pets’ well-being.
Equipped with an Apple Watch integration, the collar provides real-time data on various health metrics including exercise, daily steps, and overall activity levels. In the unfortunate event that a dog escapes, owners are promptly notified, allowing for immediate tracking across the United States. The collar employs machine learning algorithms to assess a dog’s behavior against others of similar breed, age, and size, ensuring data-driven insights into health concerns.
Bensamoun was determined to develop a solution that was both comprehensive and reliable. He collaborated with top tech experts to advance this AI collar through extensive research, including hours of video footage recording dogs’ behaviors. His inspiration stemmed from his own experiences with Thor, his 8-year-old German shepherd, whose bustling energy always left him worried when off-leash in public spaces.
The collar also detects unusual drinking or licking habits, which could indicate potential health issues, such as kidney problems or allergies. In a surprising twist, Bensamoun discovered how many treats his dog received at work using the collar’s tracking features, highlighting the collar’s capability to provide a complete picture of pet care. Fi’s mobile app allows pet owners to share vital health data with veterinarians, establishing a new standard for canine healthcare monitoring.
