Helping Pet Owners Stay Close to Their Pets with Greater Peace of Mind

Monitoring the well-being of animals that cannot tell us how they feel through AKM sensing technologies.

HEALTHCARE

Advances in veterinary care and the growing role of pets as family members are helping pets live longer. At the same time, because animals cannot communicate changes in their condition through words, subtle signs of health changes can be difficult to recognize.

Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) leverages technologies such as millimeter-wave radar, IR sensors, and energy harvesting to enable daily sensing of respiration, heart rate, body temperature, and excretion, supporting health condition monitoring while minimizing burden on pets. Continuous data collection helps identify abnormalities at an early stage and supports information sharing with veterinarians.

Health Monitoring

Respiration and Heart Rate Detection

Millimeter-wave radar detects subtle body movements to enable non-contact detection of breathing and heart rate without requiring a wearable device. Because no device needs to be attached, monitoring can be performed without causing stress to pets. This supports awareness of subtle day-to-day changes and can be used for care facility monitoring or as reference information during veterinary visits.

Millimeter-wave Radar

Body Temperature Monitoring

A compact, low-power IR (infrared) sensor enables continuous, non-contact monitoring of body temperature changes.This supports daily health management and information sharing with veterinarians while minimizing burden and stress on pets.

Non-contact infrared temperature sensor

Road surface temperature measurement

A compact, low-power IR (infrared) sensor can be integrated into collars, harnesses, and other pet accessories. Its fast response enables real-time detection of changes in surface temperature, helping identify heat-related risks and support safer outdoor activities.

Excretion Management

Urination Detection

Energy harvesting technology capable of generating power from just a few drops of moisture enables ”Urine-powered, Battery-free Smart Diapers" that can record and notify urination events. By eliminating the need for battery replacement and reducing maintenance requirements, the system visualizes changes in urination frequency and volume, supporting daily care and monitoring.
