Business сhallenge
Piavita aims to help veterinarians and farmers easily get an overview of an animal’s ECG, respiratory, pulse, and other supporting data for diagnoses. The greatest value of the Piavita device is that it replaces various medical devices, which sometimes need to be connected to horses, even with surgical involvement. Unlike these devices, Piavita’s device is small, binds to a horse on a special bandage, and doesn’t prevent it from everyday activities. Piavita addressed SumatoSoft to help with building a web-based IoT platform for data visualization and analytics.
Our solution
Together with Piavita experts, we are developing an Internet of Things platform for the vital-data gathering, visualization, analytics, diagnosis, and calculation. These data are recorded in a raw format from the sensors and are sent over to the web as Mqtt-Messages. We have implemented a web-based application with functionalities including an Admin Panel for managing company accounts, users, statistics, products, invoices, base stations, devices, and notifications; and a Users Area for account management, patient management, and data visualization.
Advanced admin panel
The most complex and valuable part of the application is the implementation of the Admin Panel. This panel allows comprehensive management of company accounts, user roles, device statistics, products, invoicing, base stations, and data handling. It’s a pivotal element in streamlining operations and ensuring efficient data management and user interaction within the platform.
Additional features:
- real-time data visualization via interactive charts and data analytics;
- notification and alarms management;
- comprehensive user and horses management;
- base stations and devices management and monitoring;
- IoT data export;
- statistics overview with broad summary on data metrics;
- integration with an invoicing system.
Business value
Before:
- Veterinarians and farmers faced challenges in efficiently monitoring vital signs in animals, often requiring multiple devices or invasive methods.
- Data visualization and analytics were not centralized, leading to inefficiencies in diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Veterinarians had to use separate platforms for clinic and farms management.
After:
- The Piavita device simplifies the process, allowing non-invasive, single-device monitoring of various vital signs, enhancing animal comfort and diagnostic efficiency.
- One IoT platform with a comprehensive data overview and analytics for quicker, more accurate diagnoses.
- A unified system for managing veterinary clinics and farms, improving operational efficiency and user experience.
