VetRec, an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant for veterinarians; and Bond Vet, a veterinary clinic group dedicated to improving the human-animal bond, recently announced a new collaboration. The partnership will combine VetRec’s technology with Bond Vet’s “modern approach” to veterinary medicine in an effort to improve pet care and the veterinary experience for pets and clients, according to both organizations.¹

VetRec uses AI to generate clinical notes for veterinarians. With its technology, the scribe can provide subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes for veterinary practices. To use VetRec, veterinary professionals first record the consultation. After the session ends, VetRec processes the consultation while allowing veterinarians to create their own SOAP template or use one of VetRec’s built-in templates. After 30 seconds, the notes are ready for review and incorporation into practice management systems (PiMS).²

The AI can summarize up to 1500 pages of patient history, including handwritten notes and lab results, according to VetRec.² Additionally, professionals can use a built-in AI assistant for help with research tasks, questions, and more.

Founded in 2019, Bond Vet has more than 55 locations nationwide and offers wellness exams, vaccinations, specialty surgeries, dental cleanings, and more. “By integrating VetRec's proprietary AI technology, Bond Vet is set to further elevate its exceptional standard of care,” wrote Bond Vet and VetRec in a news release.¹

"Bond Vet is dedicated to delivering exceptional care available when owners need it most, delivered by a team that is healthy, happy, and empowered," Renee McDougall, DVM, MPH, DACVS (Small Animal), vice president of Bond Vet and head of medicine, said in the release.¹ "VetRec's remarkable AI-powered technology enhances our ability to provide compassionate care by reducing administrative burdens, enabling our staff to focus on what truly matters—strengthening the human-animal bond."

According to Bond Vet and VetRec, VetRec’s AI has been used by the medical team at Bond Vet in 8000 clinical cases. The technology has transformed the way SOAP notes, discharge instructions, rDVM letters, and medical record summaries are created, the companies said.¹

"Technology should empower veterinary professionals, not replace their expertise," said David De Matheu, co-founder of VetRec said.¹ "Our platform is designed to complement the skill and compassion of veterinarians by streamlining workflows and providing actionable insights, enabling providers like Bond Vet to scale their impact while maintaining the highest standards of care."
