Project Overview Vision Statement Develop an autonomous, solar-powered poultry health monitoring device that integrates with our existing AI disease detection platform to provide continuous, real-time health monitoring and surveillance for smallholder farmers across sub-Saharan Africa. Problem Statement our Current poultry health monitoring relies on farmer-initiated photo submissions through WhatsApp, creating gaps in early disease detection and requiring farmers to actively identify health issues. This reactive approach leads to delayed intervention, higher mortality rates, and reduced effectiveness of our AI diagnostic capabilities. Solution Approach Design a weatherproof, solar-powered device equipped with high-resolution cameras, IOT and edge computing capabilities that continuously monitors poultry flocks, temperature, pen condition, processes images locally using our trained AI models, and automatically alerts farmers and veterinary partners when health anomalies are detected via sms or app notifications
