Prototype of a Puppy Incubator System Using IoT for Low-Resource Veterinary Clinics in Peru
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates connections between various smart objects. In Peru, implementing IoT-based prototypes for animal healthcare is rare. Using a hybrid Top-Down methodology and a five-stage case study, a puppy incubator prototype was designed for installation in two veterinary clinics in Arequipa. The objective is to create an IoT-enabled incubator for puppies and small animals, using cost-effective sensors and Arduino Cloud for real-time monitoring, especially benefiting resource-limited clinics. Data is transmitted through the ESP8266 WIFI module to Arduino Cloud IoT, providing high interaction for pet owners and clinics. The prototype achieved a 97.5% accuracy, with data and indicators easily accessible on Arduino’s open platform.
