Summary on Grant Application Form
The QuBeat project will exploit the potential for enhanced magnetic sensitivity offered by optically pumped magnetometers by demonstrating their application in livestock magneto-cardiography, a novel application with wide-reaching impact in animal welfare and agriculture. A demonstrator system integrating commercial sensors with magnetic feedback and compact data acquisition will be used to develop specific measurement modes and system design for livestock magneto-cardiography. The demonstrator system will be used to benchmark sensor performance and inform future optically pumped magnetic sensor development.
