We build tools that hear what people cannot. Our first one turns a phone into a stethoscope for a dog's breathing.
Hold a phone near a dog and press record. Fauna picks out the breathing from the room noise, measures each breath, and compares it with what is normal for that breed and age.
No extra hardware. Nothing to wear. Just a phone and a dog.
Yatin Sharma has spent a decade working with IT infrastructure, security and VoIP (internet voice) systems. That work comes down to two things: carrying sound faithfully, and building systems people can trust.
Yatin is also a student and teacher of philosophy. Philosophy asks a question that sits at the heart of Fauna: how do we know what we know? That is why Fauna says so when it is unsure, instead of guessing.
The idea behind Fauna is simple. Animals cannot tell us how they feel, but their breathing never stops telling us. Vets can hear it. Fauna helps them measure it.
Fauna is built in Mohali, India, for vets and animal-health partners around the world.
Building for the world, first of its kind.
