Tell the Vet
Your pet can't tell the vet she's been drinking twice as much for three weeks. Your NAS can.
The problem
The vet asks: "Is she drinking more? Since when?"
Every pet owner has stood in that room with no answer. Cats and many dogs hide illness by instinct, and the early signs of common senior conditions (more drinking, more litter trips, restless nights, less jumping) arrive too slowly to notice. A decision about a pet's health gets made on a guess.
The solution
Tell the Vet turns the footage, photos and vet records already on your UGREEN AI NAS into a one-page Vet Brief. No new hardware. No subscription. Nothing leaves your home.
Say "Luna sees the vet Thursday," and in one pass the Skill:
- Measures each sign against Luna's own baseline: food and water area, litter trips, night activity, climbing
- Proves it with timestamped moments the vet can watch, verified by the on-device vision model against Luna's own photos
- Connects it to her history: then-and-now photos, plus weights, lab values and medications quoted from the vet's records with file and page
- Prepares the appointment with the questions worth asking, for exactly the signs that moved
And Recheck mode answers the question every owner asks after a prescription: "Is it working?" It compares the 14 days before treatment with the latest 14.
Why this wins
- A category of one. Pet gadgets track a single signal. Camera apps alert on single motions. Tell the Vet is the only approach I found that fuses long-term camera history, photos and medical records into one artifact for one appointment. Of the 500+ public entries I reviewed, none I found targeted pet health.
- Only a NAS can do it. Weeks of private footage, years of photos and the vet's PDFs all live in one place, under your roof. A cloud assistant can't see it, and a collar can't remember it.
- Trust by design. Every number follows fixed rules, every claim is traceable to an event, a photo or a document, and the brief describes change without ever diagnosing. A vet can use it, and an owner can believe it.
- Repeat use. It is used before every visit and after every treatment, for the life of the pet.
How it works
A Markdown-only Uliya Skill that orchestrates five registered NAS experts: security-monitor-agent (Pet events and evidence), photo-agent (pet recognition and vision model), file-agent, document-agent (vet records) and knowledge-agent (approved save). Everything is read-only except the save you approve.
A sign is flagged when
$$r=\frac{\text{recent rate}}{\text{baseline rate}} \ge 1.5 \quad\text{or}\quad r \le \tfrac{2}{3}$$
with a minimum absolute change, a baseline kept clear of the recent window so slow drift can't hide, camera downtime excluded, and verification shown beside every count.
Hard problems, solved
- Presence vs. behavior: sampled snapshots are checked by the vision model, and the report shows the verified share beside every count.
- Multi-pet homes: each snapshot is matched to the named pet's own reference photos, with uncertain ones labelled instead of guessed.
- Safe by construction: questions come from a fixed list, and any urgent symptom triggers "contact your vet now" before any analysis.
- Platform-ready: the package passes UGREEN's official static checker with zero errors and zero warnings.
The vision
Today it's pets. The engine is general: it turns what a NAS already records into a baseline, a change and evidence, then hands it to the professional who needs it.
Your pet can't tell the vet. Tell the Vet does.
