The Challenge

1

Early Detection

Pet owners often miss early signs of health issues. By the time they notice problems, conditions may have progressed significantly.

2

Video Analysis Complexity

Analyzing pet movement requires real-time video processing—a technically challenging task that most apps avoid.

3

Non-Diagnostic Guidance

Provide helpful health insights while clearly communicating this is not a replacement for veterinary care.

Our Solution

We built a native iOS app with multi-model AI routing—using GPT-5-mini for image analysis and Gemini 3.0 Flash for video analysis of pet movement and gait.

Four Health Check Types

Gait Analysis (Video)

Gemini 3.0 Flash

The flagship feature. Pet owners record their pet walking, and Gemini 3.0 Flash analyzes the video for limping, stiffness, asymmetry, or other movement abnormalities.

Dog walking video → Detects slight favoring of right rear leg → Suggests "Schedule a Vet Visit"

Eye Analysis (Photo)

GPT-5-mini

Users take photos of their pet's eyes. GPT-5-mini analyzes for cloudiness, redness, discharge, or other visible concerns.

Cat eye photo → Observes slight cloudiness → Provides questions for vet discussion

Teeth Check (Photo)

GPT-5-mini

Dental health imaging that identifies tartar buildup, gum inflammation, or broken teeth. Includes guidance on dental care.

Dog teeth photo → Detects tartar buildup → Recommends dental cleaning discussion

Skin Analysis (Photo)

GPT-5-mini

Analyzes coat condition, hot spots, rashes, or parasites. Particularly useful for catching early skin conditions.

Dog skin photo → Identifies potential hot spot → Suggests monitoring + hygiene tips

Three-Tier Urgency System

Monitor at Home

No immediate concerns detected. The app provides tips for ongoing monitoring and what changes to watch for.

Schedule a Vet Visit

Something worth professional evaluation, but not urgent. Includes specific questions to ask your veterinarian.

See a Vet Soon

Potential concern that warrants prompt attention. Clear guidance on what the vet should examine.
