VetConnect
This is a secure channel connecting livestock farms directly with their veterinarians, allowing farms to submit cases with photos and videos, book video consultations, and maintain digital records of treatments and prescriptions—including calculated withdrawal periods.
The problem
Today, farms and large-animal veterinary practices struggle with fragmented communication. Case details arrive by phone or WhatsApp with no audit trail, leaving practitioners without documented records when animals fall ill. Treatment and withdrawal-period records scatter across different documents, creating compliance gaps under the regulatory requirements now mandated across the EU. The cost of arranging in-person visits for minor cases strains both farm budgets and veterinary time, while manual reporting of antimicrobial use to regulatory authorities consumes hours and invites human error. These disconnects matter because they undermine animal welfare decisions, expose practices to liability, and prevent vets from delivering timely advice to farms in areas where veterinary shortages already exist.
The product
VetConnect is a secure digital channel built specifically for livestock farms and their veterinarians. Farms submit cases with photos and video, describing symptoms and urgency, while vets receive them in a structured queue where they can add clinical notes, issue digital prescriptions with automatically calculated withdrawal periods, and book video consultations using secure peer-to-peer calls. Treatment and prescription records build automatically into a digital ledger available to the practice, and aggregate data exports in the reporting formats each country requires. The platform includes user roles, multi-organization account structures, billing for consultations, and comprehensive audit logging—all the foundational features a modern veterinary practice needs to operate digitally.
What it does
Case submission
Farms can submit a case describing the animal group affected, symptoms observed, along with supporting photos or video clips, and indicate the urgency level.
Vet console
The veterinary team has access to a case queue, can add clinical notes and follow-up tasks, and may use pre-built templates to streamline documentation.
Treatment & prescription records
Veterinarians can issue digital prescriptions and treatment records for each animal group, with the system automatically calculating and recording withdrawal periods.
Video consults & scheduling
The platform provides bookable consultation slots, secure peer-to-peer video calls using WebRTC, and automated reminders for both farms and veterinarians.
Antimicrobial-use reporting
Treatment data is aggregated and can be exported in reporting formats specific to each country's regulatory requirements.
Practice billing
The system handles invoicing for consultations and visits and generates e-invoices compliant with local requirements.
Problems it solves
- Case information is often shared informally by phone or WhatsApp messaging, leaving no audit trail or documented record.
- Treatment and withdrawal-period records are often incomplete or scattered across different documents, creating compliance gaps under regulatory requirements.
- For minor cases, the need to schedule an in-person visit incurs unnecessary travel costs and time.
- Manual reporting of antimicrobial use to regulatory authorities is time-consuming and error-prone.
Standards it follows
- Reg. (EU) 2019/6 mandates that antimicrobials be used only under veterinary prescription, with reporting to the EMA Antimicrobial Sales and Use platform.
