Associate Partner
AskVet
Website: https://askvet.app/
AskVet, the leader in veterinary telehealth, has built the world’s only AI & data-powered digital veterinarian—VERA (Veterinary Engagement and Relationship Agent). VERA is trained on highly curated data sets that include 2 million recorded conversations between veterinarians and animal owners, six veterinary college curricula, and 180 veterinarian reviewed data sets from trusted industry sources. VERA was built to help the companion and food animal industries close the gap between the growing demand for veterinary expertise and the limited availability of veterinarians and technicians.
Demand in the US for animal health care for both companion animals and food production animals is outpacing supply of qualified veterinarians and technicians. The US animal health industry needs to use data and AI to augment and expand the available supply of human veterinary expertise to close the supply and demand gap. And the problem is much worse if you look at the global growth of companion and food production animals. AskVet has created a suite of data/AI products on the VERA platform where companion and food animal businesses can use their propriety data and VERA’s veterinary expertise to create differentiation and competitive advantage.
