Quantitative measures of dog activity can be obtained using GPS trackers, and future sensors may enable continuous real-time physiological monitoring.

“so one of the nice things about dogs is you can put a GPS tracker on their collar and get very quantitative measures of activity as the sensor technology improves it might be feasible to use a microchip instead of a GPS tracker on the collar to also get some physiological or a Fitbit on their wrist you know yeah right well I mean that's really what the trackers are but it would be nice to get some physiological measures in sort of continuous real-time if we can so far the sensor technology isn't quite there at least that's my understanding”
