New AI Scribe and Digital Platform Enhance Veterinary Care

The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) in Gainesville has embraced the use of an AI-powered scribe platform, VetRec, which will be implemented across its veterinary facilities and classrooms. This adoption is part of an effort to augment clinical efficiency, enhance patient care, and advance veterinary training at the VMBS Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH).

Rohan Relan, co-founder and CEO of ScribbleVet, noted that the University of Florida is the first educational institution to implement this technology system-wide for both veterinary services and student education.

The AI scribe automates the creation of Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan (SOAP) notes for veterinarians. After recording a consultation, VetRec processes the input and generates clinical notes in just 30 seconds, allowing veterinary professionals to focus more on patient care. The system can summarize patient histories of up to 1,500 pages and incorporates a built-in assistant to help with research and inquiries.

The integration of AI technologies at VMBS is not a new venture; in 2023, the veterinary college shared that its researchers had utilized AI and supercomputing to study various health factors in dairy cows and other animals.

In addition to this, today’s reveal of a new digital platform from Pawl aims to improve patient outcomes through tailored post-intervention care plans. Pawl provides support from the moment the client leaves the veterinary clinic, ensuring that animals receive the appropriate follow-up care until their condition stabilizes.

“Pawl is designed to provide daily check-ins, personalized guidance, and relevant resources like rehabilitation videos, enhancing communication between veterinarians and pet owners,” stated Bronwyn Orr, the CEO of Pawl.

At the heart of this new initiative is a commitment to modernize and streamline the veterinary care experience, helping professionals focus on what matters most: the health and well-being of animals. As technology continues to evolve, partnerships like these exemplify how AI can significantly enhance veterinary care practices and educational programs.
