Home Cage Monitoring: A New Era in Animal Welfare and Scientific Precision

  • Date & Time: 14. 1. 2025  |  09:00 - 14:00
  • Location: IMG, Lecture room 0.195

Home Cage Monitoring Systems transform animal research by addressing welfare concerns with scientific precision. They enable real-time welfare assessment and advanced phenotyping.


These systems integrate AI algorithms, allowing for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of animal behavior, crucial for detecting anomalies such as fighting, ensuring humane treatment, and enhancing data reliability.
