The pandemic is not only supporting the rise of telehealth but also helping to evolve telemonitors for veterinary use, as VetGuardian is a touch-free solution that helps vets measure vitals from up to five feet away. The system leverages Wi-Fi, remote monitoring, smart speakers and notifications by text to collect valuable data on a pet's pulse, respiration rate and more. The technology not only has the potential to increase efficiency but also make it easier to manage pets that are difficult to handle or are nervous about visiting the vet for a checkup.
VetGuardian was one of the innovative companies recognized as a winner of Nestlé Purina PetCare's 2021 Pet Care Innovation Prizes and will receive funding and mentorship from Purina’s Pet Care Innovation team.
