SoundTalks™ is redefining today’s livestock producers' and vets’ ability to detect and address respiratory health concerns with immediacy and accuracy. The official SoundTalks app is designed to work in tandem with the SoundTalks monitors and gateway devices. The app displays the real-time data collected 24/7 by the monitors in the barn, acting as an early warning system for developing clinical respiratory disease to provide you with round-the-clock peace of mind. When elevated levels of respiratory distress are detected, the app will immediately send out notifications, allowing you to act fast and make clearer, more informed decisions by: • displaying live audio activity from the sensors with actionable data and readings of coughs and barn temperature. • sending early alerts and notifications related to respiratory distress and heat stress. • sharing data and notes with fellow users responsible for the same barns, using our secured messaging platform. • providing an overview of different sites, buildings and rooms wherever SoundTalks is being used. Use the SoundTalks app together with the web application for optimal results. The app gives you a snapshot of your operations and offers transparency on the status of your farm, while the portal provides an in-depth view with greater administrative controls.
