Implanted biologgers with remote data access

Hi All

I'm helping to develop a project that wants to record body temperature and heart rate through implanted biologgers in large African herbivores. An existing project uses StarOddi loggers, which are great but we can only access the data when we retrieve the biologgers. Are there any recommendations for options that allow remote access to data, e.g. Bluetooth to a collar or UHF download?

Thanks

Emily

Hi @Ebennitt, we do have a working solution that works with all our OpenCollar devices. We connect to sub skin implants and then send and store those readings using Bluetooth, LoRaWAN and/or Iridium satellite. We can have a quick online meeting if you like to show this. Works great!
