Purpose
"Ora is a user-friendly, engaging mobile app that pairs with Chordata's glucose biochip to enable continuous monitoring of a pet’s glucose levels throughout the day. When levels reach dangerous thresholds, Ora alerts the pet parent and notifies their veterinarian. Powered by Chordata’s AI, the app analyzes behavioral and glucose data together to deliver comprehensive insights into the pet’s health and well-being.
Discover
Pets with diabetes often struggle to maintain safe glucose levels, especially in relation to their daily activity. This imbalance can cause stress for the animal, pet owners, and veterinarians as they work to manage the condition effectively.
Connect
The Ora wearable connects with the Chordata biochip to deliver critical health data to both pet parents and veterinary teams.
Solve
Ora reduces the need for frequent blood draws by enabling regular glucose monitoring and early detection of potential health issues.
