Students at UOB Design a Smart Application for Pet Care

Computer Science Department Students of the College of Information Technology designed a smart application that helps pet owners in taking care of their pets and their health, named: “Pet Care Paws.docx”.

The application created by the students Waheeda Abdulrahim, Zainab Abdulrasool Alawi, and Ahmed Luay Salman provides features for caring for pets, and the smartphones application can be a center for pet owners, by saving general, health and nutritional information about their pets.

Student Ahmed Salman stated that “The idea of ??the project aims to create an application on Android platforms to provide care and treatment services for pet owners and lovers.”

Furthermore, Salman explained that the application “allows pet owners to create their own profiles and record the doses and timing of their medicines, as well as offering a feature to browse clinics, shops, and pharmacies and being able to ask veterinarians questions.”

Also, Salman added that the “Pet Care – Paws.docx” application “offers animal adoption offers between subscribers, shows animals saving accounts and donates to them. Also, the application contains a section for offers from shops and clinics.”

Salman indicated that the application provides a service to clinics and shops of displaying their products and services, in order to provide what pet owners need, adding that veterinarians can set appointments for clinic visits, and add notes to the animal’s “medical digital file”, as well as answering the questions of subscribers.

It’s worth mentioning that at the end of the first academic semester of the current academic year (2019/2020), the College of Information Technology held a graduation projects exhibition for students from the departments of Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Systems at the University’s headquarters in Sakhir, which was attended by the President of UOB and CEO of the Information and eGovernment Authority, and included approximately 37 student projects.
