Prototyping an internet-of-things-based bioacoustics system to support research and surveillance of avian-associated infectious diseases

New Publication Alert!


We’re excited to share our latest work- Prototyping an internet-of-things-based bioacoustics system to support research and surveillance of avian-associated infectious diseases.

In this study, read how Hei-planet researchers along with their colleagues developed an IoT-based system to monitor avian species for infectious disease research. Our bioacoustics sensor leverages ML classification algorithms to capture the spatio-temporal presence of multiple avian species.

The newly developed sensor-based device, Bioaco-record, is designed to generate high-resolution data on presence, mobility, density, and interactions of avian species.

How citizen science data can be effectively used to enhance public health surveillance and prevention strategies for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)?

Planetary health is getting increasingly affected by intersecting global crises, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and the degradation of essential ecosystems. Although significant progress has been made in understanding how climate influences vectors and vector–pathogen dynamics, evidence remains limited and uneven regarding the combined effects of multiple environmental stressors. In the newly published article, authors emphasise the need for integrating experiments, field observations and mechanistic, scenario-based modelling.

The changing climate has a profound impact on current weather conditions. Currently, Heidelberg and Europe in general are experiencing extremely…
