Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.

The pet industry is experiencing accelerated growth both in Ecuador and in the rest of the world. A relevant fact is that in Ecuador, the number of dogs exceeds that of children, which has caused an increase in the amount of waste in the streets.

A common cultural practice is to take dogs for a walk to relieve themselves on public roads. However, this custom leads to the accumulation of dog waste on the streets, which poses a risk to public health.

With the aim of taking care of the health of dogs and addressing this problem, Mundo Mágico de la Mascota has developed Poop Alert, an innovative and easy-to-use solution.

Since many diseases in dogs can be difficult to detect due to the lack of obvious symptoms, and sometimes, when they do manifest, it is too late to treat them, resulting in the loss of the animal, Poop Alert presents itself as a vital tool.

This intelligent system identifies potential diseases in dogs based on the color of their feces, providing useful guidance for owners when detecting any abnormalities in their pets' health. With Poop Alert, you can intervene in time and take preventive measures to safeguard the health of dogs and keep the streets clean.
