HELP CHANGE THE FUTURE OF PET CARE

GDPR for provision of video data from CAM supporters for use in education programs, education tools and early identification software created by Hannah Capon and Canine Arthritis Management.

Open-project summary

Supporters of CAM are invited to upload video footage of their known lame dogs and also of their non-lame (healthy) pet dogs. At the same time, they will enter useful signalment data (age, breed, sex) and relevant clinical information on known orthopaedic conditions (lameness present, limb affected, diagnosis and any previous or ongoing treatment if known). The video footage will be of dogs in their home and local outdoor environments, and may or may not include video footage of people depending on the way the video has been captured by the person submitting the video (e.g., someone walking the dog on a lead may be visible, someone’s voice may be captured on the sound recording).

The data will be stored within the CAM video database and the clinical information data will be linked to the video footage data.

The data is intended to create a library of normal and abnormal gaits complete with descriptive assessment.

The data is intended to be used within free of charge, and financially remunerating training packages created by CAM for dog owners and professionals.

The data’s availability may lead to further projects within the industry. If you are unhappy for your data to be used with CAMs changing opportunities, then please do not participate.

CAM supporters that volunteer to take part in the project will be directed to complete a form and upload their video(s). They will be required to agree that they have read this information and consent to the provided anonymous information being stored and that they understand the purposes of the project and the research.

Pet* specific data will be accessed.

Owner* specific data will be accessed through video recordings occurring in CAM supporters’ homes and local outdoor environments, which may or may not contain visual or audio footage of people. However, personal data contained in the video recording will not be processed, and no personal data will be requested from CAMS.

*(In this instance, “owner or CAMS” refers to any dog-owning supporter of CAM that volunteers for the project. “pet” refers to a pet belonging to a CAM supporter).

Timeframe for access

Initially 5 years, however this may be extended if necessary, to complete the project.

PROJECT SUMMARY

What?
Supporters of CAM (“CAMS”) will be invited to upload video footage of their known lame dogs and also of their non-lame (healthy) pet dogs. At the same time they will enter useful signalment data (age, breed, sex) and relevant clinical information on known orthopaedic conditions (lameness present, limb affected, diagnosis and any previous or ongoing treatment if known). The video footage will be of dogs in their home and local outdoor environments, and may or may not include video footage of people depending on the way the video has been captured by the CAMS submitting the video (e.g. someone walking the dog on a lead may be visible, someone’s voice may be captured on the sound recording).

The data will be stored within the CAM video database and the clinical information data will be linked to the video footage data.

The data will be provided to Vet-AI and used to build, train and test an AI gait analysis tool. Samples of the data, both raw and processed, may be shared with the University of Leeds lead academics, knowledge transfer partners of Vet-AI, for the purposes of discussion around building and refining the AI tool.

Vet-AI will remunerate CAM £2 for every submitted video up to a maximum of 1000 video submissions.

How?
CAMS that volunteer to take part in the project will be directed to complete a form and upload their video(s). They will be required to agree that they have read this information and consent to the provided anonymous information being stored and that they understand the purposes of the project and the research.  They will also be provided with detailed clear instructions for video capture to ensure the best quality and useful videos are obtained.

Why?
The gait analysis KTP needs video footage of animals in motion to be able to train a model for detection of gait analysis and to train the model. This project will help in providing valuable labelled data of healthy and lame dogs to build the gait analysis tool.

Data to be accessed:
Videos of CAMS owned pet dogs and associated dog signalment and clinical information as outlined above.

Will there be any pet* specific data accessed?
YES

Will there be any client* specific data accessed:
YES, Video Recordings in CAMS (owner’s) homes and local outdoor environments, which may or may not contain visual or audio footage of people. However, personal data contained in the video recording will not be processed, and no personal data will be requested from CAMS.

*(In this instance, “owner or CAMS” refers to any dog owning supporter of CAM that volunteers for the project. “pet” refers to a pet belonging to a CAM supporter).
