  • Publication number: 20240062907
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for using machine-learning models to predict an animal health result from laboratory test monitoring. Particularly, aspects are directed to obtaining sets of data for a plurality of animal subjects over a time period. The sets of data include clinical observation data, body weight measurement data, outcome status data, or any combination thereof. The sets of data are processed into a training set of numerical values. A machine-learning model is trained on the training set to predict whether health of an animal subject is normal, veterinary attention for the animal subject is likely required in an upcoming time period, or an unplanned death outcome for the animal subject is likely in an upcoming time period. The machine-learning model is output.
