Streamlined monitoring and documentation for small animal care
Due to the decreasing number of veterinary clinics and staff shortages, time pressure is a major factor. Inpatient admissions to veterinary clinics lack digitalization, with parameter documentation mostly analog and manually transferred to digital systems. This leads to insufficient data evaluation due to time constraints.
We have developed a digital tool for documentation, handover, and monitoring (heart rate, respiratory rate, seizures) to streamline ward work and allow more time for animal care. The system targets small animals like dogs and cats and is designed for veterinarians and veterinary nurses.
"A digital tool integrated with physical monitoring to assist veterinary professionals in documenting and monitoring small animal inpatients, streamlining internal processes."
Station Application
The app tracks and assesses inpatient parameters, provides feedback on worsening conditions, and digitalizes handovers using the SBAR model.
Whiteboard Display
The whiteboard provides station staff with a quick overview of current patients and their key parameters.
Monitoring Gadget
The gadget monitors vital signs via radar and AI, mounted on the cage without direct contact, and alerts staff to parameter changes.
