AI UPDATE

CatsMe!: Unmasking Feline Pain with AI

Discover the revolutionary new app that uses AI to detect signs of pain in cats by analyzing subtle facial cues that cats often hide. CatsMe!, developed by Carelogy and researchers from Nihon University in Japan, utilizes AI trained on a vast dataset of expert-labeled cat facial images to identify signs of feline discomfort. With an impressive accuracy rating of over 95%, it has been downloaded by more than 200,000 users in 50 countries.

Cats instinctively conceal signs of pain, as noted by the Drake Center for Veterinary Care, to avoid attracting predators. For example, the cat on the right is showing signs of pain in its facial expression, but only an expert could tell, according to Carelogy.

“It is difficult to tell the signs of pain in cats and in many cases people do not realize that their cats are in pain,” said Kazuya Edamura, chair of the Animal Pain Research Group. “This tool is a very unique app that uses AI to detect these subtle changes. Cats are not good at complaining about pain on their own.”

CatsMe! is designed to help pet owners understand their cat's feelings and determine if they need to visit the vet. Users can upload a photo of their pet's face, and the app will determine the level of pain expression, categorizing it as "none, mild, or severe" in just 10 seconds. Carelogy recently expanded access to the app, offering free users features previously reserved for premium members, such as the ability to keep records for multiple cats or analyze multiple photos at once. The app's calendar feature tracks facial scans and provides insights into trends showing how their cats feel over two weeks.
