Dog skin conditions are a common issue. Unfortunately for our furry friends, they can be quite challenging to deal with, too… Enter Maven! How can it help us better monitor these conditions or even identify flare-ups? Let’s dive in!
How Maven identifies dog skin conditions
Maven provides continuous pet monitoring, 24/7. It retrieves information on each animal’s daily activity and rest patterns through data collected by a Health Sensor. What’s more, it also tracks their resting respiratory rate, scratching, and water intake levels!
At the same time, it considers each pet’s previous medical history (provided by the vet clinic) and the pet parent’s input. They can share relevant information (including new symptoms, observations, and more) via a companion mobile app.
The Maven app includes regular health checkups, a journal, and other tools to allow pet parents to provide detailed and meaningful health-related elements. And most of all, they help guarantee no symptom is missed!
By combining and analyzing all the collected data, Maven’s advanced AI can identify significant changes that might indicate pet health issues – like dog skin conditions.
Making the diagnostic process easier
How does this translate to real life situations? Here’s an example:
A significant increase in nighttime activity, associated with an increase in scratching, and even relevant changes detected via health check-ups can lead to the early detection of symptoms like itching and discomfort… Commonly associated with allergies and other dog skin conditions.
Not only does Maven facilitate the collection of all this data, but the AI will also notify you when it detects possible issues after analyzing it. This way, you can look into the issue immediately and follow up with your vet if necessary.
This process can lead to an easier and more accurate diagnoses, since it is based on concrete data. In turn, faster diagnoses lead to optimized treatment strategies and better outcomes for our furry friends!
Accurate treatment monitoring
Let’s say a pet has been diagnosed with skin allergies and starts treatment. How can Maven help then? The same parameters gives us an idea of the patient’s status, helping you and your vet monitor and/or adjust the treatment.
When it comes to nighttime activity, for example, an unusual increase in its amount and distribution could indicate discomfort. Nighttime interruptions and restlessness can mean the pet is not coping well with the medication that has been prescribed… Or that the issue affecting them isn’t being completely addressed yet.
Detecting future flare-ups
After treatment is successfully concluded, Maven’s AI will remain on the lookout. If any future allergy flare-ups occur, it will detect them and alert you!
Any relevant changes in the pet’s resting patterns or abnormal data inputs gathered via the app’s health check-ups or journal will be flagged. Those can indicate that the pet might be having an allergy flare-up. Perhaps they need some extra medication? You’ll be notified so you can take a closer look and follow-up with your vet, if necessary.
Maven’s AI can even identify eventual allergy patterns, making it easier to to identify future flare-ups in their early stages and manage them!
The future of pet care is here
By accurately monitoring each pet’s health and well-being, and collecting all the aforementioned data – both before and after the identification of a health condition – Maven has access to an unprecedented amount of valuable information… And you can make the best of it.
This data-based approach enables the early detection of illnesses in dogs and cats. Maven helps not only pet parents but also vet practices, clinics and hospitals provide better care!
Maven Pet focuses on improving the quality of life of our pets with technology. AI-Vet™, the company’s innovative pet care platform, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to enable proactive pet care. By accurately collecting and monitoring pet data and alerting veterinarians of any irregularities, Maven Pet empowers them to stay ahead of potential health issues, ensuring the well-being and longevity of our beloved companions.
