Accessibility to specialized veterinary care has reached an all-time high this year, driven by the integration of AI into telehealth platforms that bridge the gap between rural pet owners and urban specialists. The Artificial Intelligence In Animal Health Market reveals that these platforms now include AI-guided triage tools that help owners assess the urgency of a situation through their smartphone camera. By analyzing video footage of an animal’s gait or breathing, the system can determine whether an immediate emergency visit is required or if a virtual consultation is appropriate. This filter helps reduce the strain on emergency clinics while ensuring that animals in remote areas receive timely professional advice. During virtual calls, AI also provides real-time translation and data visualization of the pet’s recent wearable metrics, making the consultation more productive and informative for all parties involved.
