An outbreak of zoonotic disease can have devastating economic and social consequences, as evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing concern over monkeypox. Defined as a disease that has transitioned from a vertebrate animal to humans, zoonoses account for about 60% of known infectious diseases and 75% of new or emerging infectious diseases.  

So, what can be done to limit the spread of these diseases and prevent the next pandemic?   

In the latest episode in the CPHI Podcast Series, we hear from two companies \\u2013 Chipsafer and SoundTalks - whose products use data analytics and AI to identify diseases in animals at the earliest indication. Chipsafer is a patented platform that detects and tracks anomalies in livestock behaviour, giving farmers earlier warning when disease breaks out in the herd. Joining us to break down how the platform works is Chipsafer\\u2019s founder and CEO, Victoria Alonsoperez. Similarly, SoundTalks is a company that provides real-time health monitoring in pig herds, using microphones and sound analytics to detect possible outbreaks of respiratory disease. SoundTalks\\u2019 founder Dries Berckmans joins us to discuss.
