Please join Arielle Pechette Markley, DVM; Director of Research at Red Sage Integrative Veterinary Partners, for the Waerable Tech for Agility Dogs webinar.

Agility handlers and trainers need a reliable, accurate way to measure and monitor athlete activity. Advances in human- and canine-wearable sensors provide new ways of accurately recognizing and measuring movement, and machine learning techniques can find patterns in movement data to perform activity recognition.

For this project, researchers hypothesize that wearable sensor technology paired with machine learning can measure discrete canine agility movements and can automatically recognize and quantify the activities that occur during agility. The goal is to develop a canine-wearable system to recognize agility activity to lay the groundwork for future studies.
