  • Publication number: 20250098644
    Abstract: A method for annotating pet health-related sensor data includes receiving from one or more sensors activity data indicative of one or more movements of a pet, determining a behavior of the pet based on the activity data, receiving contextual data associated with the pet from a user device, determining a temporal relationship between at least one data point of the behavior of the pet and at least one data point of the contextual data, determining a correlation between the behavior of the pet and at least one data point of the contextual data based on the temporal relationship, and providing a user interface for display on the user device. The user interface includes at least one graphic depicting the behavior annotated with the contextual data determined to be correlated with the behavior.

  • Publication number: 20240185988
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing sensor data captured by sensors, wherein the sensor data is associated with a first pet, detecting activities of the first pet within a specified time period based on the sensor data, determining health indicators of the first pet based on one or more of the activities, wherein the health indicators are based on metrics associated with the one or more activities, generating a wellness assessment of the first pet based on the health indicators, wherein the wellness assessment comprises one or more of a wellness score or an alert of a possible medical condition, and sending instructions to a user device for presenting the wellness assessment of the first pet to a user.

  • Publication number: 20240172967
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for canine mobility detection is disclosed. The method includes processing mobility data captured by a device attached to a canine, analyzing canine data corresponding to the canine to determine at least one baseline canine, wherein the at least one baseline canine is similar to the canine, for each of the one or more metrics, comparing the one or more metrics of the canine to one or more baseline metrics of the at least one baseline canine, determining one or more scores for each of the one or more metrics, the one or more scores based on a normal range of the one or more metrics from the one or more baseline metrics of the at least one baseline canine, and displaying at least one alert on one or more user interfaces of a user device.

  • Publication number: 20230178246
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for using historical pet eating data to determine changes in pet eating behavior is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of historical pet eating data records from a database, determining a subset of the plurality of historical pet eating data records, determining an expected distribution based on the subset of the plurality of historical pet eating data records wherein the expected distribution includes a baseline, an upper threshold, and a lower threshold, receiving current pet data from a pet sensor wherein the current pet data includes a total meal event value, analyzing whether the total meal event value exceeds the upper threshold or the lower threshold, and outputting a notification indicating a result that is responsive to the analyzing.

  • Publication number: 20220367059
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for assessing pet wellness. The method includes receiving data related to a pet. The method also includes determining based on the data one or more health indicators of the pet, and performing a wellness assessment of the pet based on the one or more health indicators. In addition, the method includes determining a recommendation to a pet owner based on the wellness assessment. The method further includes transmitting the recommendation to a mobile device of the pet owner, wherein the recommendation is displayed at the mobile device to the pet owner.
