PROCESSOR-BASED METHODS, SYSTEMS AND PROGRAMS FOR REMOTE ANIMAL HEALTH MONITORING, ASSESSMENT, DIAGNOSIS, AND MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for remotely assessing a health state of at least one non-human animal, said method being implemented with at least one computing device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory, the method comprising:
- generating a baseline data signature of at least one non-human animal using the at least one processor based on a first set of collected data;
generating, by the at least one processor, a first current data signature of the at least one non-human animal based on a second set of collected data and at least one reference health state profile;
multiplying the baseline data signature by a threshold factor to generate a baseline threshold data signature;
comparing by the at least one processor, the baseline threshold data signature to the first current data signature; and
generating a health assessment of the at least one non-human animal.

Abstract
Processor-based methods and systems and computer programs for remote animal health monitoring receive and process data relating to animal health parameters obtained from a plurality of different types of sensors. Baseline data signatures are determined from the data obtained for individual animals, and as data is subsequently collected is compared to the current data signature to assess animal health. Deviations from the signatures may serve to predictively diagnose certain conditions and facilitate medical intervention before adverse physical symptoms are manifested. Informational data and analytics are made available to animal owners, health care providers, and other interested persons.
