@abcnews: Can dogs help predict when earthquakes occur? The company behind the PetPace biometric collar says the health data it tracks may also have the capability of forecasting earthquakes. A dog's pulse, heart rate variability, temperature, respiration and activity are recorded and sent to the PetPace cloud in real-time, according to Asaf Dagan, chief scientist and cofounder of PetPace. An AI algorithm then determines the dog’s overall stress level. "The idea is that if we can track the behavior and the anxiety levels of animals ... then we use AI and machine learning advanced models to correlate that with geophysical data like earthquakes of different magnitudes," Dagan said. #news #dog #earthquake
