The Future of the Minitailz

When the Minitailz was announced in early 2022, it attracted a lot of attention from the scientific community. Indeed, heart rate and respiratory data are difficult to capture on dogs: until now, an imposing electrode-based device was required that required shaving the dog locally, applying gel, using a strap... This particular environment at the time of measurement is not natural and can change the dog's behavior and stress it out, thus falsifying the data.Minitailz will allow for the first time, on a large scale and over the long term, the collection of biometric data from dogs in their usual environment.

The data obtained through Heartprint technology contains a lot of interesting information about the dog's health status. Invoxia is launching several scientific partnerships with research institutions to identify new digital markers of disease or aging in this data, particularly in the Heartprint signature. In a few months, you will be able to benefit from the results of these research projects: our vision is to make the Minitailz a pre-diagnostic tool, capable of detecting the tiny changes that are difficult to perceive with the naked eye, which should alert you to your dog's health. By identifying problems as early as possible, we increase the chances of seeing your dog live better and longer.

We currently have the following members on our scientific board:

• Professor Valérie Chetboul, a world-renowned expert who heads the Cardiology Department at the Veterinary School of Maison Alfort in France, and is one of the top 1% of most published authors in veterinary cardiology. We are launching several research projects with her, particularly on French Bulldogs and Cavalier King Charles.
• Professor Daniel Promislow, a bio-gerontologist at the University of Washington in the United States, a specialist in canine longevity, and director of the Dog Aging Project, a huge open-source study cohort on dog aging.
