What Sentia does

Everything welfare needs, in one record per animal

From the first-thing-in-the-morning observation a keeper taps on their phone to the trend a manager reviews months later - one connected system, built around the animal.

Guided field observation

A keeper records an animal in under a minute: a one-tap stopwatch, the species ethogram and a plain general-state check - built for a phone, outdoors, even with no signal.

Five Domains welfare score

Observations become a welfare score across Nutrition, Environment, Health, Behaviour and Mental state - the EAZA / WAZA standard, drafted with evidence and signed off by your vet.

Real-time alerts to the vet

The moment an observer flags an animal for attention or an abnormal behaviour, a critical alert reaches the vet - nothing waits for the end of the day.

One record, no double work

Field observations flow straight into the animal's record - no re-typing into a second system, no notes lost between a tablet and a spreadsheet.

QR at every enclosure

Staff scan an enclosure's QR to jump straight into an observation; visitors reach a public "who lives here" page - one code, two doors.

Works offline, syncs later

Observations, photos and timed sessions are saved on the device and replayed automatically when signal returns - the far corner of the park is not a dead zone.

Group rounds & individuals

Record a whole enclosure at once, or "pinch" a single animal for a per-individual note - flamingo with ring 123, a limp on the left leg - without breaking the round.

Insights & early warning

Activity budgets, welfare trends, coverage gaps and predictive flags - so a quiet drift in an animal's routine is caught weeks before it becomes a problem.

Roles, languages & security

Five roles from volunteer observer to vet to manager, each seeing exactly what they should - in Hebrew, Arabic and English, with a full audit trail and role-based access.

Inside the product

Designed for the keeper's hand, and the manager's desk

"Calmer today. Ate well, used the high platform again." - morning shift, written in the keeper's own language, kept in the animal's record.

How it works

Four steps, one welfare story per animal

1

Observe

A keeper records what they see in the field - behaviour, enrichment, a note in their own words.

2

Assess

Observations roll up into a Five Domains welfare score, reviewed and signed off by the vet.

3

Act

Flags, enrichment suggestions and clinical follow-ups turn the score into action.

4

See trends

Every entry feeds trends and reports - so welfare is measurable, not anecdotal.

Resources

The welfare science under the surface

Sentia is not a generic logging app - it is built on the welfare framework your accreditation already speaks.

Framework

The Five Domains model

Every welfare score rests on Nutrition, Environment, Health, Behaviour and Mental state - the model set out by Mellor (2020) and adopted by WAZA and EAZA.

Standards

EAZA / WAZA alignment

Welfare-coverage tracking and assessment cadence built to the association standards your accreditation is measured against - so an audit finds a record, not a gap.

The problem

The end of double work

Keepers stop re-typing field notes into a second system. Observations flow straight to the vet - fewer lost notes, more time with the animals.
