About this Project
Our project is PetPLAY. It’s a tracking app that works alongside a pet collar that allows you to keep track of your pets needs by translating their vocal tones. You can also track the pets health, location, etc. This app helps owners learn more about their pet’s needs while also keeping control of their pets especially while training. The Dog Collar which is linked to “PetPlay” addresses communication and safety concerns while still having a fun time with your pets. It enables you to build a bond with your furry friend by identifying the bark tones of you pet and translating that to its needs. It also helps you stay alert and cautious. Remember, we’re not just about fun and games but we’re altering lives through pet to people relationships!
After a lot of thought, we figured it would be a good idea to design an app that helps make pet owner’s lives easier We went from simple location tracking to mood tracking, weight tracking, setting up playdates, and much more development to the app. Our high-tech collar allows advanced tracking of your pet through different settings on the app. You have the ability to control whatever your dog does when it’s wearing its collar.

What the Judges are Saying
Simple location tracking would already provide lots of help to the pet owners when they let go of their pets in a big park or when they get a pet-sitter, but mood/weight/play dates tracking would help much more. Mood tracking and play dates sound awesome to remind pet owners that they need to take time to care for their pets. I also think it'll be nice to have a knowledge corner for beginner pet owners to go to if they want to know more reasons why their pets are making certain noises or if their pet isn't feeling well what are some steps they can take before sending their pets to a vet.
