[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] A health diagnostic kit for pets has been selected as the invention of the month.

The Korean Intellectual Property Office announced on the 4th that, following a vote conducted from the 4th to the 13th of last month among Facebook users and Gwanghwamun 1st Street visitors on the "Best Invention for Pets," the pet health diagnostic kit received the most support from voters.

The vote was conducted by allowing participants to recommend two inventions from a pre-selected list of 10 candidates, including a toothbrush, shower head, cool cushion, air purifier, cooling vest, exercise robot, grooming chair, safety door, health diagnostic kit, and waste disposal bin.

A total of 1,070 citizens participated in the vote, casting 2,059 valid votes.

As a result, the health diagnostic kit, which received 307 valid votes, was selected as the best invention for pets. The health diagnostic kit is a product that checks the health of pets by measuring their health status through their urine.

Voters responded with comments such as "An innovative product that allows you to easily check the uncomfortable areas of your pet," and "Pets often do not show or reveal when they are sick, but the diagnostic kit allows you to conveniently check their health status at home."

Other rankings in the vote were: 2nd place - waste disposal bin (284 votes), 3rd place - air purifier (270 votes), 4th place - exercise robot (241 votes), and 5th place - cool cushion (204 votes).

Participants generally welcomed the release of various pet products, saying, "As the pet population increases, it is truly delightful and appreciated that products tailored to their needs are being launched."
