CalmPaws, 2023
'CalmPaws' is designed to address the issue of dogs experiencing anxiety due to prolonged periods of solitude. The project plans to initiate a pilot operation in a first-tier city in China. By leveraging existing interactive technologies, it aims to offer dogs more flexible and diverse companionship and interaction modes, thereby mitigating separation anxiety that may arise from extended periods of isolation. This improvement not only positively impacts the mental well-being of the dogs themselves but also prevents the ripple effect of this anxiety on their owners. The goal is to balance the well-being of both dogs and their owners, ultimately advancing the UN SDG 3: Promoting Good Health and Well-Being.
