Abstract
The invention relates to method of diagnosing stage B2 degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) in a dog, a method of determining the probability of a dog having stage B2 DMVD, a method of training a model to predict stage B2 DMVD in a dog, and a related computer program and system.
Claims18
A method of diagnosing or screening for stage B2 degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) in a dog, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving characteristic data relating to the dog, the characteristic data comprising appetite, creatinine concentration, murmur intensity, and NT-proBNP concentration;
- and
- (b) processing the characteristic data using a model, wherein an output of the model is an output value associated with the probability of the dog having stage B2 DMVD.
A method of training a model to predict stage B2 DMVD in a dog, the method comprising:
- (i) processing characteristic data relating to a dog using the model to output an output value, the characteristic data comprising appetite, creatinine concentration, murmur intensity, and NT-proBNP concentration;
- (ii) comparing the output value to a diagnosis of presence or absence of stage B2 DMVD in the dog;
- and
- (iii) adjusting the parameters of the model based on the result of the comparison.

A system for diagnosing stage B2 DMVD in dogs, the system comprising:
- an input device configured to receive characteristic data relating to a dog, the characteristic data comprising appetite, creatinine concentration, murmur intensity, and NT-proBNP concentration;
- a model configured to receive the characteristic data and generate an output value associated with the probability of the dog having stage B2 DMVD;
- and
- an output device configured to output the output value.
