Tailio

We recommend that people avoid standing on the Tailio unit to avoid damaging the precision sensors. It’s probably safe to say that if you actually make that mistake, your BAC is probably too high! :)

We chose cats initially because they represent a group of companion animals that have been overlooked with regards to health issues, and are difficult to recognize early signs in. Tailio will help address this problem. We’re looking into using Tailio for other companion animals in the future, but right now we’re focused on delivering a great product for cat parents.

Our mission is to improve the health of cats worldwide. We chose to make a product that rests under the litterbox because it is THE place that cats go to routinely, on a daily basis. It's an excellent place to gather valuable information and detect early signs of feline problems.

2) We’ve gotten numerous comments from our Kickstarter backers asking for IFTTT integration. Right now we’re focusing on delivering the core features of our product (i.e. with regards to feline health), but we’re evaluating the future integration of Tailio with IFTTT, Apple Homekit, and other IoT API’s.

Alex here: I lost my cat to cancer. We discovered that he was sick only after he lost a significant amount of weight, which was not easily determined by my family. After this happened, I looked for a product that would keep this from happening to other people. I couldn’t find one, so as an engineer, I invented one myself.

With regards to dogs, and other companion animals, we already see applications of Tailio to their health, and we’ll be looking into that in the future.

Thanks for the compliments! :)
