CLOSED-LOOP VITAL SIGNS AND ENERGY HARVESTING SYSTEMS USING MICRO EVENTS FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE AND HYBRID WEARABLE/IMPLANTABLE APPLICATIONS

摘要

An animal monitoring and energy harvesting system includes a wearable or implantable animal monitor sized and shaped to be worn by or implanted in an animal to be monitored. The animal monitor includes a sensor adapted to obtain a set of current animal physiology data associated with the animal, and a sensor processor coupled to the sensor. The sensor processor determines a current state of the animal based upon the set of current animal physiology data. The animal monitoring system also includes an animal monitor server in data communication with the animal monitor. The animal monitor server is configured to receive the current state of the animal. A computing device in data communication with the animal monitor server receives the current state of the animal from the animal monitor server and displays the current state of the animal being monitored.
