Galen

Mission

Redefine pet longevity through non-invasive physiological monitoring and precision nutrition.

The challenge

Over 50% of domestic pets suffer from obesity or chronic conditions that go undetected until they require emergency care. The "Care Gap" exists because current smart feeders are merely automated timers, they cannot track the physiological state of the pet. Owners lack a non-invasive way to monitor vital signs like respiratory rate and heart rhythm during feeding. This leads to late-stage diagnosis of metabolic and cardiac issues. We are addressing the need for a proactive health-monitoring system that integrates medical-grade physiological sensing into the daily feeding routine.

The solution

Galen is the "Pulse Feeder," an ecosystem employing non-contact health monitoring, allowing for real-time tracking of a pet's respiratory and heart rates without wearables. By merging this biometric data with precision nutrition dispensing, Galen identifies early physiological deviations from a health baseline. This transforms the feeder into a preventative diagnostic tool, enabling pet parents to catch health issues months before physical symptoms appear.
