Title: Health care system for companion animals based on lifelog data and inquiry data and method of operating the same

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0158272, filed on Nov. 17, 2021 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Field of the Disclosure 
     The present disclosure relates to a health care system for companion animals and a method of operating the same, and more particularly, to a technical idea for providing a health care service based on lifelog data and questionnaire data of companion animals. 
     Description of the Related Art 
     Recently, as interest in pets increases, the term “companion animal”, which means a family member, is used instead of a pet at home. 
     Like humans, pets will inevitably get sick throughout their lives and will receive treatment accordingly. Disease treatment may be carried out over a short period of time or, in severe cases, throughout a life. During disease treatment, health care including exercise, diet, and medication is required. 
     However, in most cases, companion animal owners do not spend the entire day with their companion animals and are away from them for most of the day. Accordingly, real-time monitoring and health management of companion animals is difficult. 
     Accordingly, there is increasing demand for technology of providing health care services for companion animals based on continuous monitoring, such as preventing obesity by improving eating habits and increasing the amount of exercise, removing disease-causing causes in advance, and providing optimal medical solutions to owners when diseases occur. 
     Like humans, in the case of companion animals, early diagnosis and prevention of diseases are possible through continuous monitoring. Nevertheless, due to limitations in time and cost, most companion animals do not receive health care such as continuous monitoring for diseases. Accordingly, most companion animals do not receive adequate treatment for mild diseases. 
     In addition, in the case of directly visiting a veterinary hospital for treatment, companion animal owners consume travel time, transportation costs, and medical expenses, which may be a burden to the owners. 
     In addition, in a situation that requires an immediate diagnosis and appropriate response, delayed diagnosis and response may cause serious health problems to companion animals. 
     For example, in a situation where an owner need to urgently receive a diagnosis during non-business hours of the veterinary hospital, such as weekends or at night, and take minimal emergency treatment, the owner has to spend a lot of time to find an open veterinary hospital and travel to the hospital. Until now, since emergency facilities for companion animals are not provided, there is no appropriate countermeasure in case of an emergency. 
     Therefore, to solve these problems, need for remote diagnosis and self-diagnosis of companion animals is rapidly increasing.

the present disclosure is not limited to these symptoms. 
     Specifically, the self-diagnosis device  220  may provide N−1th condition questionnaire data among N pieces of condition questionnaire data to a user, and may provide Nth condition questionnaire data corresponding to a user&#39;s response to the N−1th condition questionnaire data to the user. 
     That is, the self-diagnosis device  220  may narrow a diagnosis range for the health condition and disease of a companion animal through a self-diagnosis process in which a user&#39;s response to a question is considered and the next question is determined. Through this process, self-diagnosis accuracy may be improved. 
     The health condition judgment device  230  according to one embodiment may include an artificial intelligence judgment device  231  for judging the health condition of a companion animal based on at least one of the collected lifelog data and the feedback information. That is, the health condition judgment device  230  may use the artificial intelligence judgment device  231  to judge the health condition of a companion animal by considering self-diagnosis results based on basic information, biometric information, and questionnaire data of the companion animal collected in real time. 
     According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the health condition judgment device  230  may use the artificial intelligence judgment device  231  to judge a health condition through an artificial intelligence-based disease judgment model that receives collected lifelog data and feedback information as input data and outputs at least one of disease information and risk information corresponding to the input data. 
     In addition, the health condition judgment device  230  may include an artificial intelligence learning device  232  that performs learning based on a disease judgment model based on artificial intelligence and an artificial intelligence processor  233  that performs a process of judging a health condition using a learned disease judgment model. In addition, by using the artificial intelligence learning device  232  and the artificial intelligence processor  233 , artificial intelligence-based self-diagnosis may be implemented. 
     For artificial intelligence-based self-diagnosis, the artificial intelligence learning device  232  may generate or learn an artificial intelligence-based judgment model by algorithmizing questionnaire processes when veterinarians treat animals in veterinary hospitals. 
     The artificial intelligence-based judgment model is a diagnostic method called veterinary differential diagnosis (DDx), which narrows the scope of diagnosis through questionnaires, starting with indicator symptoms (main symptoms). 
     For example, the artificial intelligence-based judgment model refers to an algorithm in the form of continuing the next question according to a response to the question rather than simply a questionnaire, such as Q1-&gt;A1-&gt;Q2/Q1-&gt;A2-&gt;Q3. 
     The artificial intelligence-based judgment model may build an initial algorithm with a domain of specialized differential diagnostics. 
     The artificial intelligence-based judgment model may be advanced by using an initial self-diagnosis system to which a built-up professional veterinary-based algorithm is applied and AI technology. Using the medical records of a veterinary hospital, data labeling is performed by classifying charts into companion animal information, indicator symptoms, related symptoms, test results (blood test, heart rate, body temperature, etc.), and final diagnosis, and machine learning is performed based on refined data. Though these processes, a predictive model may be refined, and accuracy may be increased. 
     For machine learning for the artificial intelligence-based judgment model, medical records from numerous veterinary hospitals are required, and these records may be labeled and made into refined data. 
     To date, 100,000 up-to-date medical records have been collected from cooperative veterinary hospitals. Thereafter, medical records of companion animals of service users will be secured. By continuously acquiring data through increase in the number of cooperative veterinary hospitals and continuous cooperation with veterinary schools, the artificial intelligence-based judgment model may be updated. 
     For example, the risk information may be classified into five levels: a normal stage, a worrisome stage, a caution stage, a dangerous stage, and a very-dangerous stage. 
     According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the disease judgment model is an artificial neural network model. The health condition judgment device  230  may generate the disease judgment model through deep learning based on disease diagnosis data collected in advance and stored in a disease information database. 
     According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the health condition judgment device  230  may collect atypical disease information through the data collector  210 , may standardize the collected atypical disease information through a pre-processing process, and may categorize the standardized disease information to construct a disease information database.
