US – At the Consumer Electronics Show 2024, Domethics showcased the Carepet smart pet bed, a breakthrough in pet technology. The Carepet is an intelligent pet bed that enables users to collect and monitor their dog’s vital data while they sleep. It tracks essential metrics such as heart rate, breathing, sleep quality and daily activity. Integrated sensors within the bed enable continuous health-monitoring, including identifying mobility issues and detecting heart conditions. By analysing respiratory patterns it can assess heart wellness.
Importantly, all this data can be shared easily with the pet’s vet for timely health intervention. Carepet, which will retail for £156.30 ($199, €183), prioritises convenience with its machine-washable and removable fabric, and caters for different pet sizes.
This innovative product offers pet owners a valuable tool for proactive pet health management. Domethics plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign for Carepet in March 2024. For more tech innovations, head to our analysis of CES 2024.
