We are thankful and excited about the launch of the application by ROYAL CANIN®, said Dr. Makarand Chavan Secretary PPAM.
EMPOWERING VETERINARIANS BY SHARING WORLDWIDE VETERINARY KNOWLEDGE
The rapid pace of growth in veterinary knowledge can create challenges for practitioners to stay up to date on the latest information. In addition, veterinary clients have increasing expectations for the latest diagnostic and treatment options. The scarcity of time faced by many practitioners today further compounds these issues. Access to technology offering the latest knowledge from around the globe can help veterinarians to better care for and ensure the well-being of pets.
A GLOBAL & INTUITIVE ALGORITHM
Through this collaboration, both ROYAL CANIN® and GekkoVet aim to help empower veterinarians by implementing a solution based on AI-assisted algorithms and science-backed information to provide vets with differential diagnoses related to patient-specific findings and offering corresponding treatment recommendations.
GekkoVet provides veterinarians with 24/7 on-demand access to a repository equivalent to over 80,000 pages of clinical source material, and the ability to match symptoms with over 33,000 diagnosis combinations. The algorithm organizes diagnoses in a probability-based order, enhancing the speed and quality of clinical decision-making. It brings a new level of transparency to patient care, fostering better understanding between vets and pet owners regarding necessary examinations and treatments.
A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS
Supporting projects such as investing in GekkoVet technology is part of ROYAL CANIN®‘s commitment to continue educating, up-scaling skills and sharing knowledge with veterinarians and ultimately pet owners.
“With this initiative, we are bringing extensive medical knowledge to veterinarians via GekkoVet’s innovative technology.
