    The hyperbaric chamber is an innovative therapeutic tool that uses high-pressure oxygen to accelerate recovery processes in cases such as wounds, infections, inflammations, and other common pathologies in animals. For this reason, the present research has been developed for the benefit of veterinary health. The project addresses the need to optimize the manual operation of the hyperbaric chamber by integrating sensors, controllers, and a monitoring system that ensures precision in critical parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and treatment time. This approach enhances the safety and effectiveness of the treatment, minimizes human errors, and ensures the well-being of pets during the procedure. For the development of the system, a prototype was designed based on technologies such as microcontrollers, pressure and temperature sensors, and a user-friendly graphical interface for the operator. The automation also includes safety mechanisms, such as real-time alerts and an emergency shutdown system in case of malfunctions. The final result is an automated hyperbaric chamber prototype that meets the necessary quality and safety standards, contributing to innovation in veterinary care in the region. Additionally, this system not only improves the operational efficiency of the clinic but also positions SNAP Clinic as a pioneer in the use of this technology in the veterinary field in Ambato. Finally, it is concluded that the implementation of automation not only optimizes medical treatments but also promotes a sustainable and technologically advanced business model in the veterinary sector.
