OBJECTIVES

• THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF PETMATE IS TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM WHERE PEOPLE CAN EASILY
BROWSE AND SEARCH FOR PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION.
• THE PLATFORM WILL SIMPLIFY THE ADOPTION PROCESS BY PROVIDING POTENTIAL ADOPTERS
WITH AN EASY-TO-USE INTERFACE THAT GUIDES THEM THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS.
• THE PLATFORM WILL ALSO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR POTENTIAL ADOPTERS,
INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT PET CARE, TRAINING, AND BEHAVIOUR.
• THE PLATFORM WILL ALSO SUPPORT RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH TOOLS
TO MANAGE THEIR ADOPTABLE PETS, INCLUDING A DATABASE TO TRACK THE PETS, THEIR MEDICAL
HISTORY, AND ANY BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES.
• THE PLATFORM WILL PROVIDE ADOPTERS WITH ACCESS TO VETERINARY SERVICES, SUCH AS
WELLNESS EXAMS, VACCINATIONS, AND SPAY/NEUTER PROCEDURES.
MOTIVATION
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY DEVELOPING A PET ADOPTION PLATFORM ANDROID APP IN BANGLADESH COULD BE A GREAT IDEA.
• INCREASING PET OWNERSHIP: WITH THE GROWTH OF THE MIDDLE CLASS IN BANGLADESH, MORE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO ADOPT
PETS. HOWEVER, THERE IS A LACK OF INFORMATION AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THE RIGHT PET. AN APP THAT
CONNECTS POTENTIAL PET OWNERS WITH SHELTERS AND RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS COULD HELP INCREASE PET OWNERSHIP IN THE
COUNTRY.
• ADDRESSING PET ABANDONMENT: UNFORTUNATELY, PET ABANDONMENT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN BANGLADESH. AN APP THAT
ALLOWS PET OWNERS TO FIND NEW HOMES FOR THEIR PETS, OR CONNECT WITH RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAN HELP THEM
FIND NEW HOMES, COULD HELP ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
• SUPPORTING ANIMAL WELFARE: BANGLADESH HAS A SIGNIFICANT STRAY ANIMAL POPULATION, AND MANY ANIMALS ARE IN NEED
OF MEDICAL CARE AND SHELTER. AN APP THAT CONNECTS ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS WITH POTENTIAL DONORS AND
VOLUNTEERS COULD HELP SUPPORT THESE ORGANIZATIONS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO CARE FOR ANIMALS.
• PROMOTING RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP: MANY PEOPLE IN BANGLADESH ARE NEW TO PET OWNERSHIP AND MAY NOT KNOW
HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR THEIR PETS. AN APP THAT PROVIDES INFORMATION ON PET CARE, TRAINING, AND BEHAVIOR COULD
HELP PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP AND IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING OF PETS IN THE COUNTRY.
• OVERALL, DEVELOPING A PET ADOPTION PLATFORM ANDROID APP IN BANGLADESH COULD HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON BOTH PETS
AND PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY.
PROBLEM DEFINITION

• IN BANGLADESH, THERE ARE MANY STRAY ANIMALS, INCLUDING DOGS AND CATS, THAT ARE IN
NEED OF HOMES. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO CENTRALIZED PLATFORM FOR PET ADOPTION, AND
PEOPLE OFTEN RELY ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND WORD OF MOUTH TO FIND PETS. THIS PROCESS CAN
BE TIME-CONSUMING AND INEFFICIENT, LEADING TO MANY PETS BEING LEFT ON THE STREETS OR
IN OVERCROWDED SHELTERS.

• ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A LACK OF AWARENESS ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF PET ADOPTION AND
RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP IN BANGLADESH. MANY PEOPLE STILL VIEW PETS AS DISPOSABLE
OBJECTS RATHER THAN LOVING COMPANIONS, WHICH RESULTS IN MISTREATMENT,
ABANDONMENT, AND NEGLECT.

METHODOLOGY
MODELS WILL APPLY:
1. AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES WILL BE USED FOR USING ADAPTIVE APPROACHES AND
TEAMWORK TO FOCUS ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
2. PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS (PCA): PCA MODELS CAN BE USED TO REDUCE THE DIMENSIONALITY OF
DATA AND IDENTIFY THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES FOR PET ADOPTION SUCCESS.
3. K-NEAREST NEIGHBOURS (KNN): KNN MODELS CAN BE USED TO RECOMMEND SIMILAR PETS TO ADOPTERS
BASED ON THEIR PREFERENCES AND ADOPTION HISTORY.
4. BAYESIAN NETWORKS: BAYESIAN NETWORKS CAN BE USED TO MODEL THE UNCERTAINTY OF PET
ADOPTION DECISIONS AND ESTIMATE THE PROBABILITY OF SUCCESSFUL ADOPTIONS.
5. SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINES (SVMS): SVM MODELS CAN BE USED TO CLASSIFY PETS BASED ON THEIR
CHARACTERISTICS AND PREFERENCES OF POTENTIAL ADOPTERS.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
• THE APP SHOULD ALLOW USERS TO SEARCH FOR PETS BASED ON VARIOUS CRITERIA SUCH AS BREED, AGE, GENDER, AND LOCATION.
• USERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE A PROFILE THAT INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT THEMSELVES AND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR
IN A PET.
• THE APP SHOULD PROVIDE A MESSAGING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS POTENTIAL ADOPTERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE
ORGANIZATIONS OR INDIVIDUALS OFFERING THE PETS FOR ADOPTION.
• IF APPLICABLE, THE APP SHOULD ALLOW FOR PAYMENT PROCESSING TO TAKE PLACE, SUCH AS ADOPTION FEES AND DONATIONS TO
THE ORGANIZATIONS OFFERING THE PETS.
• THE APP SHOULD ALLOW USERS TO TRACK THE STATUS OF THEIR ADOPTION APPLICATION AND RECEIVE UPDATES ON THE ADOPTION
PROCESS.
• THE APP COULD OFFER ARTICLES, VIDEOS, AND OTHER RESOURCES TO HELP USERS CARE FOR THEIR NEW PETS AND PROVIDE
GUIDANCE ON TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR.
• USERS COULD BE ALLOWED TO RATE AND REVIEW PETS AND ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH COULD HELP FUTURE ADOPTERS MAKE
INFORMED DECISIONS.
