Animal health and safety system and method
A human or artificial intelligence (AI) operated animal health and safety system and method are described for use with animals, such as equines, other ungulates, canines and felines. Sensors/monitors/signs and sources (“DMSS”) obtain data on vital life-sustaining or life-threatening processes and signs directly from the animal. The vital life-sustaining and/or life-threatening processes and/or signs in the form of data, together with archived/real-time location/monitoring/external conditions, e.g., weather forecasts/alerts are processed in a system which can be operated partially, or almost exclusively by AI. The AI system and method re-purposes/re-re-purposes the data originally obtained for another use/diagnosis or purpose. A method of utilizing the AI system is also described.
1. An animal health and safety system comprising:
a registry for animal owners and their animal(s);
a database where identification of individual living animals is stored;
at least one body covering selected from the group consisting of a halter, a hackamore, a bridal and a harness for placement into contact with an individual living animal;
the body covering comprising at least one device to obtain data directly from the living animal;
at least one communication device to transmit the obtained data to a location remote from the animal where the data is analyzed or archived;
a computer communicating with each of the registry, the database, and the archive to assemble information on the individual, identifiable animal;
the computer being reprogrammable/repurposed by one member selected from the group consisting of an human, artificial intelligence (AI), and combinations thereof.
2. The animal health and safety system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one source away from the living animal configured to transmit data from the at least one source to the computer.
3. The animal health and safety system of claim 2 , further comprising in-animal devices, monitors, or sensors in the living animal to transmit from the in-animal device to the computer.
4. The animal health and safety system of claim 3 , further comprising an initial diagnosis of a symptom or disease by a human veterinarian of the living animal, wherein the animal health and safety system is reprograms/repurposes to either confirm or correct the initial diagnoses by analyzing the data obtained from the living animal alone, or in combination with at least one from the group consisting of the archive, the database, the cloud and the away from animal sources.
5. The animal health and safety system of claim 1 , wherein the computer is configured to be reprogrammable/repurposed exclusively by artificial intelligence (AI).
6. A reprogrammable/repurposed system for manipulating data obtained directly from a living, individually identified animal; the system comprising:
a computer;
a database;
an archive;
sources of data taken directly from the living, individually identified animal;
sources of data taken from other than from the living, individually identified animal;
smart communication units selected from smart devices in the group consisting of smart phones, smart wearables, laptops, tablets, and other smart devices;
a communication network operably connected to each of the sources of data taken directly from the living, individual animal and to sources of data taken from other than from the living, individual animal, to the computer, to the database, and to the archive;
the communications network further operably connected the smart communications units;
the computer being operated by artificial intelligence (AI) to reprogram/repurpose the system to manipulate the data.
7. The reprogrammable/repurposed system for manipulating data of claim 6 , wherein the manipulated data may be used to address, treat, diagnose disease, or cull the living animal from other animals.
8. A method for reprogramming/repurposing an animal health and safety system containing an initial human diagnosis of a disease in a living, identifiable animal, the method comprising:
registering a living, identifiable animal in a database;
obtaining data in the form of life-sustaining and life-threatening information directly from the living, identifiable animal;
communicating the data to a location remote from the animal;
archiving the data;
utilizing a computer operated with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) to search the database, and the archived data and reprograming/repurposing the animal health and safety system to identify a disease other than the initial human diagnosis of disease.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein providing the obtained data is from at least one of devices, monitors or sensors borne by, or inserted or implanted within, the living animal.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the devices/monitor/sensors comprise at least one from the group consisting of mini-, micro-and nano-devices/monitors/sensors each comprising a central processing unit (CPU).
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising a self-correcting feedback loop.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the self-correcting feedback loop is assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) processing to purpose/re-purpose data-information being computer-program-platform-processor-server sought processed/re-processed, programed/re-programed, profiled/re-profiled per vital animal life sustaining/threatening/terminating and/or other assessments-gradations-processes-purposes of health data-information sensor-sought+read+self-corrected.
13. A Bonded Registry system comprising:
a database of registered owners and their registered animals;
at least one animal borne fitment selected from the group consisting of a harness, a halter, a hackamore, a bridle, a trapping and a tack;
the at least one animal borne fitment comprising a device/monitor/sensor/source configured to read/sense/obtain at least one condition specific to the registered animal's vital life processes/signs;
an archive containing information at least two forms of identification of the registered animal from the group consisting of image of the animal, video of the animal, retina scan of the animal, DNA of the animal and genetic information of the animal;
the archive further comprising real-time communicated veterinarian health history including both text and images;
the Bonded Registry system further comprising a bond, posted by the owner(s)/officer(s)/manager(s)/operator(s) of the Bonded Registry system, to guarantee financial payment of at least one of the items selected from the group consisting of recovery, custody, care, transport, remuneration and reunion undertakings, lifetime animal care and endowment therefor.
14. The Bonded Registry system of claim 13 , further comprising that the archive is configured to contain comprehensive registered animal life processes and signs.
15. The Bonded registry system of claim 13 , wherein the registered animals comprise at least one of ungulates, canines and felines.
16. The Bonded Registry system of claim 13 , wherein the registered animal is an equine.
17. The Bonded Registry system of claim 13 , wherein the registered animal is a canine trained as at least one from the group consisting of guard dogs, war/military dogs, police dogs, service dogs, sled dogs and rescue dogs.
18. The Bonded Registry of claim 13 , wherein the database further comprising input from a 99-item questionnaire comprising information on topics selected from the group consisting of personal interests, adventures, expertise, hobbies, skills, preferences, orientations, attitudes, beliefs, political, social, favorites, preferences in travels/places, time frames, years, experiences, suggestions, recommendations, value of currencies used, expensive/inexpensive, accommodations used, recommendations, transportation to and from and during visit, and enjoyed experiences.
19. The Bonded Registry of claim 13 , wherein the amount and purposes for which the bond is to be used are determined at the initial registration of the registered animal by agreement between the registered owner of the registered animal and the owner(s)/officer(s)/manager(s)/operator(s) of the Bonded Registry system.
