BarkSense

An emotion-sensing collar that tells you how your pet really feels.一只能读懂宠物情绪的智能项圈。

Lena Chu · Studio Nine
Shenzhen, China

The Idea想法

Pets communicate constantly — but owners only catch a fraction of it. BarkSense reads heart-rate variability, motion and vocal patterns to translate a pet's state into something a human can act on.宠物一直在表达,但主人只能捕捉到其中一小部分。BarkSense 通过心率变异、运动与叫声模式,把宠物的状态翻译成主人能理解、能行动的信息。

Prototype v2 on the bench, May 2026.原型 v2,2026 年 5 月。

The Problem问题

Existing pet wearables count steps. None of them tell you whether your dog is anxious, in pain, or simply excited — the things that actually change how you care for them.现有的宠物可穿戴只会计步,没有一个能告诉你狗是焦虑、疼痛还是单纯兴奋——而这些才真正影响你如何照顾它。

The Solution方案

A featherweight collar module with on-device ML that classifies emotional states, paired with an app that turns signals into plain-language nudges. No subscription.一个超轻的项圈模块,设备端 ML 实时识别情绪状态,配套 App 把信号转成大白话提示。无需订阅。

About关于

David spent twelve years turning hardware concepts into products shipped by the million. He's most useful to teams stuck between a working prototype and a manufacturable one.David 用十二年时间,把硬件概念变成百万级量产的产品。他最能帮到的,是卡在「能跑的原型」与「能量产的产品」之间的团队。
