MiceTracking™ Implants
MiceTracking™ implants are autonomous subcutaneous micro-devices equipped with multiple sensors. They continuously measure the biological and physical parameters of the animal. This data, used for medical and behavioral research, is transmitted to the Reading Platform. This allows you to monitor the health and well-being of each animal as well as individual and group behaviors. The implant is equipped with an identifier and a customizable eHealth passport.

MiceTracking Health Implant
The Micetracking health implant is a health monitoring device for laboratory animals. It is equipped with sensors and collects physiological and behavioral data in real time.
It has a battery that can be continuously charged via the MiceTrack platform.
The Welfare Score
Data from the implant and antenna matrix are combined into a score out of 5, offering an at-a-glance view of the animal’s overall condition.
Collect
The implant and antenna matrix collect data continuously.
Analyse
Collected measurements are analysed automatically.
Summarise
A health score out of 5 summarises the animal’s overall condition.
A reference point for quickly detecting anomalies and tracking changes in welfare over time.
The eHealth Passport
Essential information is stored in the implant’s memory and accessible through the reading platforms.
> 2 000 characters in memory
- Identity
- The animal’s species and strain.
- Characteristics
- Date of birth and sex.
- Interventions
- The history of interventions performed.
- Associated projects
- The projects the animal is assigned to.
Reading the implant provides access to the animal’s information, supporting continuity of monitoring and traceability. The image shows a fictional example.
