FAQ

Farmer's Hands is a smart livestock solution that monitors cattle health and reproduction through behavioral data. Signals collected via sensor are analyzed so farmers can check their cattle's status quickly through the app.

Farmer's Hands was built on fine-signal analysis technology originally used to develop medical devices based on ECG signals. Rather than simply detecting whether cattle moved, it analyzes how they moved from the smallest signals, delivering more precise information. We also actively incorporate customer feedback, so you can use it with even greater confidence.

Farmer's Hands works across all stages of cattle raising, from calves to breeding cows and dairy cattle. It's especially effective for farms where individual cattle management matters.
