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 37):
A system for monitoring the behavior of an animal, the system comprising:\n a container configured for holding at least one of food or water for consumption by the animal; a motion detector configured for detecting a presence of an animal within the container; a scale operably connected to the container and configured for determining a measurement selected from the group consisting of an amount of food added to the container, an amount of water added to the container, a weight of the animal when the presence of the animal is detected, and combinations thereof; a network adapter configured to couple to a network; a storage device configured to store the measurement and store threshold alert data; and a processor configured to:\n calculate derived data from the measurement, the derived data including at least one of: an amount of food consumed by the animal over a period of time, an amount of food added to the container over a period of time, an amount of water consumed by the animal over a period of time, an amount of water added to the container over a period of time, a length of time since food was last added to the container, a length of time since water was last added to the container, an average daily weight of the animal, a maximum daily weight of the animal, or a minimum daily weight of the animal, \n compare at least one of the measurement or the derived data to the stored threshold alert data, and \n send, via the network adapter, an alert associated with the animal to be displayed on a remote display device when the measurement or the derived data exceeds the threshold alert data.
