The breakthrough
The story of Vetabolics started over 20 years ago when our chief scientist tried to understand how dogs smell cancer? What exactly are they smelling? Could we develop a method to detect the “smell” of specific types of cancers via artificial intelligence?
We put together a team of medical researchers and computer scientists and built a patented machine learning model that analyzes urine run through a gas chromatograph to test for the chemical signatures of specific types of cancers.
The results are exceptionally promising, and will drive the next generation of cancer detection and earlier therapy.
A reliable test for everyday practice.
Performance
“Canine Cancer” is a multitude of distinct diseases. What will make Vetabolics a breakthrough is the ability to non-invasively test for specific types of cancer with high sensitivity and specificity.
Non-Invasive
A few drops of urine are all we need in order to test for specific types of cancer. By utilizing voided urine, we have significantly reduced friction in the sample collection process, which drives greater adoption and success.
Economics
In order for this to be a technology for all dogs, the cost of cancer detection must be radically lowered. That’s exactly what we have done. Through innovation and disruptive technology, we have created a pricing model that fits within the budget of more veterinarian clients.
