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 23):
The method of  claim 22 , wherein the identifying of the animal as a specific animal from the plurality of animals comprises comparing the derived data to stored animal data, the stored animal data including at least one of an animal consumption signature, an animal body weight signature, and a behavior and physiology signature, wherein:\n the animal consumption signature identifies an amount of food or water consumed at each feeding by the specific animal, the body weight signature identifies historical body weight fluctuations of the specific animal, and the behavior and physiology signature identifies a combination of regularity and typical time of day of trips to a waste container by the animal.
