PUPPYDIA, Dog Heart Disease and Tick Bone Fever Diagnosis System

Abstract

Dogs are knowing as the best friend of human. Near past in the world, adopting dogs were considerably grown where people tend to consider dogs are part of the family. But the most common problem all dog owners are suffer with not able to identify their dogs wellbeing. Frequently visiting to veterinarians is not practical scenario in a country like Sri Lanka. Most of the dog owners located in urban cities are leaving their dog on their own at least 5 hours per days. Dogs are instinctively hide their symptoms most of the time from their masters. Ow can a dog owner bear sudden death of dogs without knowing that the dog has suffered enough before the death. In facts most of the diseases are not sudden for dogs except an accident. If there anything abnormally happens with the dog, dog owners must have noticed that. even though owners identifying any behavioral change of the dog, they can’t be sure to identify the reason for that. This is where subjective project solution helps dog owners to know how their dogs are doing and if anything wrong, what has gone wrong. Puppydia is a dog heart disease and tick bone fever diagnosis system by reading their inner body details. Puppydia has implemented with trained neural network where can identify the vital signs for heart disease and tick bone fever based on the dog’s age, weight, heart rate, temperature, respiration, sleeping and the gained calories. Neural network functionality has been clearly mentioned in the literature review of the project. Requirements gathering for the subjective project had several stages and techniques where dog owners, veterinarians and technical experts were contributed. In this particular project, the data capturing of dogs has been simulated with a web application which can be used to transmit data in to the neural network. The Puppydia system has been implemented overcoming the issues identified in the existing applications and products. After the implementation the Puppydia system has been evaluated with the industrial experts, end users. Author himself conducted the self-evaluation where verify whether the project objectives have been met.
