Wireless technology for SP studies

Nowadays, most people use wireless systems in their homes for connecting to the internet and other data transportation. However, this technique can be used for cardiovascular data acquisition and other physiological data evaluation. 

Wireless monitoring with implantable telemetry microchip allows us to remotely collect animals' physiological data, such as cardiovascular parameters, anytime during undisturbed movement and social interaction during group housing. This technique increases animal welfare by allowing a continuous recording of their physiological and ECG parameters. The telemetry system consists of two major components:  

1. An implantable unit 
2. A receiver/antenna linked to a computer 

During my Ph.D. project, I will investigate real-time telemetry data to qualify, cluster, and validate cardiovascular data in combination with video tracking to understand animals' social traits to reduce data variance.
