K9 - Echo Join our Kickstarter campaign
Help us give dogs like Remy the world they’ve never heard.
The first AI‑powered hearing‑assist device for dogs born deaf or losing their hearing.
Meet Remy — The Dog Who Inspired Everything Remy is my daughter’s dog — a playful, curious, loving pup who was born completely deaf. She’s only two years old, but she’s already taught us more about patience, communication, and resilience than we ever expected.
Meet Remy: The Inspiration Behind the Innovation
Pathos
Every great invention has a "why." Ours is Remy, my daughter’s dog. Remy is a playful, curious, and loving two-year-old pup who was born completely deaf. Watching her navigate a silent world taught us everything we needed to know about patience and resilience, but it also highlighted a gap: how do we give dogs like Remy the world they’ve never heard?
The K9-Echo was born from the desire to help Remy, and dogs like her, feel more connected to the sounds and signals of their environment.
What is K9-Echo?
The K9-Echo is the first AI-powered hearing-assist device designed for dogs born deaf or losing their hearing. It utilizes advanced biometric sensors and AI-driven behavioral analysis to translate the world around them into signals they can understand.
Key Features
Acoustic Mapping: Converts environmental sounds into gentle, haptic vibrations that help dogs identify the direction and intensity of noises.
Mood Mapping: Uses heart rate variability to let you know if your dog is anxious, excited, or relaxed.
The Echo Link: A two-way communication system that allows you to "check-in" using custom vibration patterns that act as "tactile commands."
Why It Matters
Our dogs give us their all, but for those with hearing loss, the world can be a confusing or isolating place. The K9-Echo is designed to give them a "voice" and a sense of awareness, ensuring their safety and well-being are always a priority.
"The goal wasn't just to build a tool, but to change how clearly we hear what dogs like Remy have been saying all along."
