BirthWatch

Calving / Farrowing Onset Alert

Research concept for pre-birth activity patterns; not a veterinary or calving alert.

Readiness Needs edge adapter

The evidence is proven or strong, but this capability still needs a capability-specific ESP32 or Rust runtime adapter.

Evidence Strong theory Supported hypothesis

Published physics or adjacent results support the hypothesis; capability-specific product and site validation are still required.

Runtime family Not mapped

No browser runtime is assigned to this capability yet.

Why live sensing is unavailable

No capability-specific offline runtime is mapped yet. Keep the feature visible, explain the required edge adapter, and never fabricate a live result.

Intended capability

Validate this target only after a capability-specific adapter and ground-truth study exist: Detects the restlessness, repositioning and contraction rhythm that precede birth, alerting the farmer in the critical window to reduce stillbirth and dystocia losses.

This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is needs edge adapter, evidence is class B, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Solution blueprint

See the environment before installing it.

This exact kit is one of 191 first-class designs. It includes geometry, objects, nodes, wording, scenarios, installation, limitations, and catalog-bound readiness.

Needs edge adapter

No rendered revision is available yet.

Bundled recording

A related Agriculture scene

This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.

01 The physics

Pre-parturition behavior produces a distinctive escalating pattern: increased low-frequency locomotion micro-Doppler, frequent lying-standing posture transitions (large RTI silhouette changes), and rhythmic abdominal contractions in a narrow sub-Hz band that differ from normal breathing.

02 Shared processing path

Doppler activity-rate + RTI posture-transition counting -> feature fusion into adaptive PCA+MVE manifold trained on 'normal night' baseline -> deviation spike triggers alert; axis discovery (poke-and-observe) used to sharpen the contraction-rhythm axis from labeled prior births

This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.

03 Validation plan

Own-hardware in maternity pens with camera + birth-time ground truth across a calving/farrowing season; leverage WiMANS multi-subject activity separation and fall AUC 0.8 posture-change results as priors.

04 Commercial hypothesis

'BirthWatch' — 3am calving alarm to a phone for dairy/swine operations; every saved calf/litter pays for the hardware many times over.
