Popis: The Republic of India is a densely populated country where quality medical treatment facilities are not easily available in rural areas. If it is about animal health, the ratio of the number of animals per Vet is very high, and the Vet can’t go to every sick animal. In a few cases the owner has to transport the house animal to the Vet if he is living far from big cities. Most of the countries in South Asia have a similar situation where animal husbandry is one of the main sources of earning bread and also to use them in farming. If there is no experienced doctor in a remotely located place to cure the disease at an early stage, the life of an animal is in danger. During different situations, as well as due to the COVID-19 spread, it is not possible to take the animal to the hospital. Here, we are discussing a cellular communication-based monitoring system that can be used to monitor the health of animals remotely and can help in saving the animal life via the consultation with an experienced Vet to detect diseases early. The developed system works on java-enabled mobile phones on the client-server model. The Vet can access this system on his PDA or desktop using a web application.
