Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer code products for monitoring the behavior, health, and/or characteristics of an animal are disclosed herein. In one implementation, the animal is positioned inside a waste container placed on a system that is adapted to determine, record and communicate over a network various animal health parameters. These parameters can be processed to determine trends, statistics and changes of animal physiological functions. The results can be used to access animal health conditions and issue warnings, alarms, messages, and other notifications to designated caretakers. These notifications may be displayed using various means such as computers and/or mobile devices. Data retrieval and review capability can provide improved understanding of an animal's health conditions and facilitate early illness detection.

Claim (Index 26):
A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising:\n computer code for instructing a sensor to detect a presence of an animal; computer code for instructing a measuring device to measure a characteristic of the animal whenever the presence of the animal is detected by the sensor; computer code for storing the measured characteristic of the animal on a storage device; computer code for calculating derived data from the measured characteristic, the derived data comprising at least one of (i) a cumulative daily duration of time between each detection of the presence of the animal and departure of the animal or (ii) an average daily time interval between instances where the presence of the animal is detected; computer code for comparing at least one of the measured characteristic or the derived data to stored threshold alert data; and computer code for sending, via a network, an alert associated with the animal to be displayed on a remote display device when the measured characteristic or the derived data exceeds the threshold alert data.
