Artificial Intelligence Based Platform for Remote Diagnosis and Treatment of Pet Dermatological Diseases: PETS@DERMI.CO
The entrepreneurial idea combines industrial research and experimental development into one of the fastest growing technological spheres — processing large amounts of data using artificial intelligence. The practical application is in veterinary medicine. As a result, we will create 2 main products: 1) big data processing technology, including imaging, with artificial intelligence applicable to digital health for animals and humans, and 2) prototype of an AI web-based system providing remote veterinary health services for domestic dermatological diseases (dogs and cats) — the system is unique worldwide. Subsequently, the prototype may also be modified for human health purposes. We will implement 2 activities: 1) Realising the market of the entrepreneurial idea — a multi-component initiative, including: recruitment of expert staff — 5; purchase of FTAs — 2 pcs.; development of 1 self-learning software for analysis and recognition of images for diagnosis of skin diseases; purchase of photo material with diagnosis for loading in the database — 1000; development of economic, financial and technical assessment and market research and marketing plan; research into patent purity and patent or utility model registration possibilities; participation in specialised forums. A working room will be rented. 2) Visualisation. The project will be implemented on the territory of Blagoevgrad. By its very nature, it is research and applied, falling within the ICT and Informatics thematic area of the ISS (big data, cloud technologies) and meets the EC’s definition of eco-innovation. The entrepreneur is a woman, under the age of 29, and a disabled person will be hired in the team. The project has a duration of 12 m, worth BGN 248708, of which the grant of BGN 198966.40 will be maintained sustainable employment of 4 persons. Estimated value of net sales revenue 251.30 % and estimated EBITDA value of 25.12 %.
