Lightweight · Minimal · Detachable · Durable

I wanted to turn owners’ care for their pets’ health into tangible product quality. Clean, rounded forms, soft neutral colours and low-gloss translucent acrylic balance technology with warmth. Rather than flaunting its tech, a restrained visual language and refined material layering convey a professional, reliable and warm character — so the collar blends into the daily life of owners and pets as a trusted health companion.

MARKET & OPPORTUNITY

Market Gap

A Growing Pet Economy, a New Health-Care Opportunity

Health data, AI consultation and medical services are fragmented

As pet health needs extend from basic care to long-term management, existing products still leave experience gaps between health monitoring, AI consultation and medical services — creating room for an integrated product that fuses smart hardware, AI and a service ecosystem.

Demand Shift

From passively spotting problems to proactive, continuous care

Market Foundation

A $158 billion pet economy

PROBLEM

Unnoticed Changes, Fragmented AI, Unclear Next Steps

Owners often miss subtle health changes. Even with AI they must re-describe their pet and switch tools — and when facing a potential issue, they still lack clear, trustworthy next steps.

Health Changes Go Unnoticed

Repetitive AI Consultations

Anomalies Without Guidance

Pets can’t tell us when they feel unwell. Owners rely on daily observation without continuous monitoring or data comparison, so early anomalies slip by.

Every consultation means re-entering pet info, symptoms and history, asking again across tools with no continuous health context.

Facing unusual symptoms and conflicting advice, owners struggle to decide whether to see a vet — and how to observe, respond and follow up.

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

From Location Tracking to Continuous Health Care

Building on competitors’ gaps in location tracking, health-data interpretation and follow-up care, I shifted the focus from single-function monitoring to AI-driven continuous health management — from passive attention to proactive care.

How do we differentiate?

From Location Tracking to Health Monitoring

From Data Display to AI Health Insight

From Alerts to Proactive Care

Long-term wear and continuous sensing, focused on physiological and behavioural change — not just location and activity logs.

AI interprets continuous data, identifies anomalies and trends, and makes complex health info easy to understand.

Connects alerts to action suggestions, ongoing observation and professional services for complete care.

DESIGN CHALLENGE

Make Every Health Change Easy to Understand, Record and Follow

Design Goals

Lower the barrier to reading health info, so owners understand their pet’s state and changes in time.

Less repeated input and cross-platform asking — AI keeps supporting you from what it already knows.

Help owners understand risk and know the next step: observe, act or see a vet.

Design Strategy

A 3D pet avatar, health metrics and trends make abstract data intuitive.

Automatically combines pet profile, real-time data and history for continuous conversation.

Links anomaly alerts, AI suggestions, professional consultation and follow-up tracking.

AI-Powered Smart Collar for Everyday Pet Health

An AI Smart Collar for Everyday Pet Health

Once the collar is on, it continuously collects key vital signs. Behaviour, health data and AI analysis come together on the home screen, so owners see their pet’s real-time state at a glance.

App Prototype

AI at the core of the pet-health experience — combining real-time data, health trends and natural-language consultation, so AI keeps understanding the pet and owners repeat less.

AI That Understands Your Pet, Not Just Answers

AI automatically combines real-time monitoring with health history to keep understanding the pet’s condition. Owners never repeat background — they ask about a change and get data-backed, personal advice.

Pet Health Status at a Glance

A 3D pet avatar visualizes resting, eating, sleeping, activity and abnormal states. Paired with AI health analysis, owners grasp their pet’s state and changes without reading complex data.

AI That Truly Understands Your Pet’s Health

Combining continuous monitoring with health history, AI analyzes physical changes automatically. Owners ask directly — no re-describing their pet — and receive advice based on that individual.

Device Connection Onboarding

Onboarding Setting

A clear, restrained guided flow helps owners pair the hardware and fit the collar step by step — building the device–pet connection with minimal learning cost and laying the foundation for health data and the whole ecosystem.

HOW IT WORKS

From Continuous Monitoring to Proactive Care

AI Health Analysis

The collar continuously collects physiological and behavioural data. AI analysis detects health changes and turns complex information into intuitive insights, early warnings and action suggestions — a complete loop from sensing to proactive care.

Health Insights & Action Guidance

Analysis becomes easy-to-read status feedback, risk alerts and next-step suggestions.

UX Challenge

Design Challenges

The collar continuously captures body and behaviour data; with AI analysis, occasional, passive attention becomes continuous, visible health management.

Hardware + Software for Long-Term Wear

Lower the Barrier to Health Info

Hierarchy & Data Visualization

Pro-grade health metrics are hard to read — owners must judge their pet’s state in seconds.

Many data dimensions at once, without turning home into a complex dashboard.

The device is worn and running constantly, while owners should need the app less.

A 3D pet visualization turns complex data into at-a-glance health feedback.

Cards, modules and priority rules — only anomalies and key changes stand out.

A lightweight structure shows key device status on the hardware, consistent with the app.

UI Design

A Soft, Trustworthy Visual Language

Pet health care is a long-term companion, not a quick tool. Soft colour, a light information hierarchy and an anthropomorphic pet ease the tension of medical products, while clear status feedback and risk cues keep the credibility and decision speed a health product needs.

Soft Structure, Clear Risk Levels

Lightweight Status Feedback

White and light grey keep the screen calm; functional colour appears only for connection status, health metrics and risk alerts — colour carries meaning, not decoration.

Lightweight System Feedback

Translucent glass links the hardware to the interface and lightens status components.

Timely Alerts for Critical Health Changes

Timely Alerts for Critical Moments

Proactive alerts fire the moment something is off, shortening the time from noticing a problem to taking action.

FEEDBACK & REFLECTION

Test User 1

Test User 2

“A clean, simple app — I can see how my dog is doing.”

“Analysis tailored to my own dog is incredibly convenient.”

“This device and app have given me real peace of mind. I used to worry whether she was uncomfortable; now I see changes earlier and know when to pay closer attention.”

“With other AIs I had to explain my dog’s condition every time, and each gave a different answer. WooWoof answers from my dog’s data — so much easier.”

Test User 3

Test User 4

“I no longer scare myself over every little thing.”

“At the vet, I no longer describe everything from memory.”

“I used to know only how much she ate and slept that day, never the trend. Now the data is continuous, so changes are much easier to see.”

“When the vet asked when it started or whether her activity changed, I couldn’t remember. Now I show the history and anomaly records.”
