Pet Tech - Wearables for Healthy Best Friends

Electrical engineer, Fabrizio Filippini, has always had a strong passion for web, IoT, and sports. That got him into wearables, which led him to join as a co-founder of FitBark. 


Wearables for animals? No one thinks innately about health monitors for pets like they do for humans, with our Apples Watches, FitBits, and more. It turns out this is an important area of development because pets don’t communicate their conditions through their behaviors the same way humans do. Dogs especially communicate happiness when they see their owners, even when they might be struggling with a serious health issue.


Fabrizio and Ledge talk UX, data, IoT, and more in this novel look at the wearables you might never have thought about.
