During an interview at the annual Veterinary Innovation Summit presented by the North American Veterinary Community and Veterinary Innovation Council (VIC) in Kansas City, Missouri last month, Indu Subaiya, MD, MBA, MFA, highlights multiple technology advancements that could be making their way into veterinary medicine as a way for veterinary professionals to make better clinical decisions, plus how telehealth could expand beyond video visits with clients and patients.

Below is a partial transcript

Indu Subaiya, MD, MBA, MFA: I think there are such a host of applications for AI and technology in veterinary medicine. I would say, thinking of the practice setting alone, there are going to be tools that aid veterinarians in making better clinical decisions, from diagnostics to imaging to monitoring animals, both at home and in the clinic. Then when we think of the home environment, when animals are with their owners, there's a whole number of technologies from, you know, detecting conditions just through imaging to other kinds of monitoring and having interfaces for pet owners to communicate with their veterinarians remotely.

Telehealth for veterinary care has a number of dimensions. It's not just video visits. It could be questions and answers, kind of quick vitals and diagnoses. So I think that whether you're in the clinical setting or in the home or in the community and outside, the role of technology and AI is just really exciting.
