Designing for Wearability in Animal Biotelemetry
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This research presents a preliminary study conducted on a cat fitted with biotelemetry devices. The aim was to explore the feline’s wearability experience of bearing off-the-shelf products. The cat’s reactions to the device presence were recorded and findings suggest the need for a design approach centred on the wearer. A wearercentred framework to inform the design of biotelemetry interventions for animals is then proposed. Author

Biotelemetry and biologging in endangered species research and animal conservation: relevance to regional, national, and IUCN Red List threat assessments
The current biodiversity crisis is characterized by the decline and extinction of numerous animal populations and species world-wide. To aid in understanding the threats and causes of population decline and the assessment of endangerment status of a species, conservation scientists and practitioners are increasingly relying on remote assessments using biotelemetry (radio telemetry, acoustic tel...
متن کاملAdvances in Management of Poultry Production Using Biotelemetry
In this chapter, the authors review recent developments in the use of biotelemetry in poultry production. The chapter begins with an overview of advancements in biotelemetry and outlines the types of equipment that are commercially available as well as those adapted and developed by researchers primarily for use in farm animals. The authors then highlight the significant milestones achieved by ...
متن کاملBiotelemetry: a mechanistic approach to ecology.
Remote measurement of the physiology, behaviour and energetic status of free-living animals is made possible by a variety of techniques that we refer to collectively as 'biotelemetry'. This set of tools ranges from transmitters that send their signals to receivers up to a few kilometers away to those that send data to orbiting satellites and, more frequently, to devices that log data. They enab...
متن کاملRefining Housing, Husbandry and Care for Animals Used in Studies Involving Biotelemetry
Biotelemetry can contribute towards reducing animal numbers and suffering in disciplines including physiology, pharmacology and behavioural research. However, the technique can also cause harm to animals, making biotelemetry a 'refinement that needs refining'. Current welfare issues relating to the housing and husbandry of animals used in biotelemetry studies are single vs. group housing, provi...
متن کاملTowards a Wearer-Centred Framework for Animal Biotelemetry
The emerging discipline of Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) aims to understand the relation between animals and technology in naturalistic settings, to design technology that can support animals in different contexts and to develop user-centred research methods and frameworks that enable animals to take part in the design process as legitimate contributors [11]. Given existing interspecies dif...
