MawWard
Always-on AI health watch for giant-breed dogs — from bloat warning to specialist care.
Where smart collars show a flat vital-sign dashboard, MawWard layers a breed-tuned AI on top of your existing collar data. It watches respiratory rate, heart-rate variability, posture, rest cycles, activity drift, and eating behavior — and surfaces the early warning signs owners and even attentive vets frequently miss until crisis stage.
Operating within the recently eased US veterinarian-client-patient-relationship framework.

What MawWard watches for
Watched continuously, validated by a vet.
Four threat domains a 6-to-10-year lifespan dog actually faces — the ones general pet wearables were never built to interpret.
What MawWard does: Trigger owner alert + auto-route to nearest GDV-capable ER + open a case dossier.
What MawWard does: Auto-tune exercise guidance and schedule the right imaging or ortho consult.
What MawWard does: Trend escalation to a cardiology consult with the full rhythm strip attached.
What MawWard does: Calibrate portions and adjust weekly as the dog trends toward or away from goal.
Tuned for the dogs that need it
Not every dog. The right ones.
Each breed has its own baseline curve, its own plan thresholds, and its own risk profile. Below the threshold, you don't see another dashboard — you see the threats that actually fit your dog.
GDV presents hours before visible distress.
Lifetime GDV risk roughly 1 in 4 for deep-chested males. Post-meal respiratory-rate spikes and abdominal distension are the earliest signs — MawWard watches the run-up, not just the crash.
Coordinated across the lifespan
One timeline. Every consult.
Vet schedules, gastropexy consultations, TPLO and orthopedic follow-ups, and oncology surveillance — coordinated in a single timeline, with a full case dossier on every hand-off.
- 01Year 1
Baseline & gastropexy consult
Build the breed-curve baseline. Stagger prophylactic gastropexy guidance for at-risk breeds.
- 02Year 2–3
Orthopedic watch
Activity drift and stride asymmetry tracked. Imaging scheduled early, not at lameness.
- 03Year 4–6
Cardiac surveillance
HRV and rhythm trend escalated to cardiology. Oncology baseline for higher-risk lines.
- 04On demand
Specialty hand-off
A full case dossier — collar trends, vitals, prior consults — travels with the dog.
