Figure 2.

Graph 2A shows heart rate data from September 2023 to July 2024 with daily rates in green and smoothed rates over 40 days in red. A statistical event is marked in blue around March 2024. Graph 2B displays respiratory rate data for the same period, using similar color coding, with the statistical event in blue around June 2024.

Representative example of algorithmic detection of a statistical event in a dog with degenerative mitral valve disease, monitored at home for heart rate (A) and respiratory rate (B) using the biotracker. A steady increase in the 40-day moving average of daytime heart rate (red line) was detected by the algorithm (A), with its 40-day difference exceeding the alert threshold approximately 60 days before a similar change was observed in respiratory rate due to congestive heart failure (i.e., pulmonary edema; B). In both panels, turquoise dots represent daily means, the red line is the 40-day moving average, and the blue shaded band denotes the period where the statistical events occurred.
