Pig cough monitor
Science Museum
London, United Kingdom
This microphone listens to pigs where they are housed, and when it detects a nasty cough it sends a text message to the farmer, alert them to an emerging infection. This allows farmers to diagnose illness quickly, empowering them to treat the infection in one animal before it spreads across the whole population of pigs.
