Alper Bozkurt Gains Support from Chancellor’s Innovation Fund for Wearable “EKG” for Dogs
Nowadays, a wristwatch can track your heart rate, measure your blood oxygen level and even give you an electrocardiogram test (commonly abbreviated as “EKG” or “ECG”). And plenty of pet owners probably wish they could afford to track their furry friend’s health in real-time the same way, too. Thanks to David Roberts and Alper Bozkurt, maybe one day they can.![ASSIST researcher working in lab](https://assistcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Bozkurt-in-lab-e1691687840698-360x216.jpg)
