发展中国家贫困农村地区的许多农民和家庭养猪作为收入来源。这些猪大部分没有关在马厩里，而是任其自由活动。虽然这使贫穷的农民能够在没有大量投资的情况下饲养牲畜，并使猪摆脱了马厩，但这也增加了猪和人之间传染病的传播率。目前，人们对自由漫游猪的行为缺乏了解。特别是，兽医对猪的行为和传染病之间的相关性感兴趣。在本文中，我们提出了iPig系统，一个可穿戴的运动传感器来跟踪猪的身体活动和用户界面，使兽医能够跟踪猪群中猪的活动。植入猪耳内的运动传感器将猪的身体活动分为“行走”、“进食”和“休息”。通过平板设备上的用户界面向兽医显示关于猪活动的每日报告。第一个试点研究的结果表明，iPig可以对猪的身体活动进行分类，准确率高达95.8%。我们还讨论了我们遵循以动物为中心的设计方法设计的猪可穿戴设备背后的基本原理。
Many farmers and families in poor rural areas in the developing world keep pigs as a resource for income. Most of these pigs are not kept in stables but let to roam freely. While this enables poor farmers to keep livestock without vast investments and sets pigs free from stables, it also increases the transmission rate of infectious diseases among pigs and to humans. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on free-roaming pigs' behavior. In particular, veterinarians are interested in correlations between pig behaviors and the presence of an infectious disease. In this paper, we present the iPig system, a wearable motion sensor to track the physical activity of pigs and a user interface to enable veterinarians to keep track of the activities of the pigs in a herd. The motion sensor inserted inside a pig's ear classifies its physical activities into 'walking', 'eating' and 'resting'. A daily report about pig activities is displayed to veterinarians over a user interface on a tablet device. Results of a first pilot study suggest that iPig could classify pig physical activities with an accuracy of up to 95.8%. We also discuss the rationale behind the wearable for pigs we designed following an animal-centered design methodology.
