Students at UOB
Design a Smart Application for Pet Care

Computer Science Department Students of the College of
Information Technology designed a smart application that helps pet owners in taking
care of their pets and their health, named: “Pet Care Paws.docx”.

The application created by the students Waheeda Abdulrahim,
Zainab Abdulrasool Alawi, and Ahmed Luay Salman provides features for caring
for pets, and the smartphones application can be a center for pet owners, by
saving general, health and nutritional information about their pets.

Student Ahmed Salman stated that “The idea of ??the
project aims to create an application on Android platforms to provide care and
treatment services for pet owners and lovers.”

Furthermore, Salman explained that the application
“allows pet owners to create their own profiles and record the doses and
timing of their medicines, as well as offering a feature to browse clinics,
shops, and pharmacies and being able to ask veterinarians questions.”

Also, Salman added that the “Pet Care – Paws.docx”
application “offers animal adoption offers between subscribers, shows
animals saving accounts and donates to them. Also, the application contains a
section for offers from shops and clinics.”

Salman indicated that the application provides a service to
clinics and shops of displaying their products and services, in order to
provide what pet owners need, adding that veterinarians can set appointments
for clinic visits, and add notes to the animal’s “medical digital file”, as
well as answering the questions of subscribers.

It’s worth mentioning that at the end of the first academic
semester of the current academic year (2019/2020), the College of Information
Technology held a graduation projects exhibition for students from the
departments of Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Systems
at the University’s headquarters in Sakhir, which was attended by the President
of UOB and CEO of the Information and eGovernment Authority, and included
approximately 37 student projects.
