2024: The Birth of an Idea

June 2024: Conceptualization and Initial Research

The How My Pet journey started in June 2024, when Bruce Tan, a passionate pet owner with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, realized the need for better ways to monitor and understand pets' well-being. Bruce’s desire to stay connected with his pets and ensure their safety led him to conceptualize a wearable solution that could provide real-time insights into a pet's health, behavior, and location. This initial idea was followed by extensive research into existing pet care solutions and wearable technologies, with the goal of identifying gaps in the market that could be addressed with a novel, AI-powered product.

July 2024: Defining Features and Target Audience

In July, Bruce began defining the core features of How My Pet. He wanted the product to be more than just a GPS tracker—it needed to be a comprehensive solution for health monitoring, behavior tracking, and activity analysis. During this phase, the focus was on understanding the specific needs of pet owners, particularly those who had busy lifestyles and often left their pets alone. Detailed surveys and interviews with pet owners were conducted to understand their pain points, which helped shape the list of features that the final product would offer.

August 2024: Prototype Design and Feasibility Study

By August, Bruce had begun sketching the initial designs and working on a feasibility study. The goal was to understand the technical requirements of building a wearable for pets, including the types of sensors needed, connectivity options, and the challenges of creating a comfortable yet functional wearable device. Bruce also reached out to industry experts and hardware developers to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed design and to explore potential collaboration opportunities. A preliminary prototype design was created, focusing on ease of use, durability, and comfort for pets.

September 2024: Development of the First Prototype

Bruce worked tirelessly to integrate a range of sensors into the wearable, including accelerometers, temperature sensors, and heart rate monitors, along with an ESP32 microcontroller to handle data processing and communication. The prototype was designed to capture data related to pet activities, sleep patterns, heart rate, and overall behavior, which would then be relayed to a mobile app for real-time monitoring.

November 2024: Incorporating AI for Behavior Analysis

Bruce integrated AI capabilities into the product. Machine learning models were trained to analyze the data collected by the wearable to recognize patterns and provide insights into the pets' health and behavior. This involved collecting large datasets of pet activities and using them to train the AI models to detect anomalies and provide early warnings for potential health issues. This AI-driven approach allowed the wearable to become more than just a monitoring device—it became an intelligent assistant for pet owners, capable of providing actionable insights.

November 2024: Final Prototype Development

After incorporating AI, the final prototype was developed. This version included an improved detachable Hub, making it easier for pet owners to remove the core device for charging while washing the wearable garment. The final prototype also featured an upgraded mobile app that provided more detailed analytics and an enhanced user interface. Bruce ensured that the design was optimized for comfort and durability, with different garment sizes available for cats and dogs of various breeds.

December 2024: Testing and Refinement

By December, the prototype was ready for preliminary testing. Bruce conducted extensive tests on his own pets, a German Shepherd and a Schnauzer, to evaluate the accuracy of the sensors and the reliability of data transmission. This phase involved monitoring the pets’ daily activities, testing the GPS tracking feature, and refining the algorithms used to interpret behavioral data. Feedback from testing was used to improve the device’s accuracy, battery life, and comfort level for the pets. The insights gained during this testing phase were invaluable in enhancing the product to meet high-quality standards.
