Automatic animal health monitoring and alerts

Purpose

1.1. Automate continuous real-time animal health data collection (body temperature, movement, eating patterns) from IoT sensors.
1.2. Automate analysis of health parameters and detection of potential diseases and anomalies for preventive action.
1.3. Automatedly send instant alerts and health reports to farm managers, veterinarians, and staff.
1.4. Automate historical health data logs for advanced analytics, compliance, and research.
1.5. Integrate and automate workflows between sensors, analytics platforms, communication systems, and farm management systems.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automated abnormal vital signs detected (high temp, low activity, erratic eating).
2.2. Lack of movement tracked for a set period (e.g., >30 min inactivity).
2.3. Automated IoT device error/maintenance alert.
2.4. Regular scheduled health checks (daily, weekly).
2.5. Custom thresholds for herd health, automatedly set via dashboard.
