LavaLab
Translating your livestock's movements into life-saving data
Valkyrie is the first layer of security for barn managers and their animals. By flagging early signs of illness in the animals before it's too late, Valkyrie protects not only barn managers' spend, but their peace of mind as well.
Valkyrie makes proactive animal health monitoring possible without constant human supervision. Managers set a camera up in their stall, and Valkyrie uses computer vision and AI to analyze the animal's body language around the clock, detecting symptoms using research-backed behavioral models. When something looks wrong, users are alerted immediately through our mobile app, and can view live footage or request emergency veterinary care directly from the platform.
