AI in Veterinary Practice – Where Are We Going?
About this Episode
As a kid, Mitch Sigley watched his veterinarian parents come home late night after night – not because of emergencies, but because of paperwork. That image stayed with him. Today, he is the founder of VetNotes, an AI scribe purpose-built for veterinary teams, and one of 12 startups selected for the 2024 Techstars Sydney cohort .
In this episode, we sit down with Mitch to talk about what he has learned, and why he believes the future of the profession isn’t just about working harder – it’s about working differently.
We discuss the real numbers behind AI scribes: the 5-10 minutes saved per consult, the hours of time clawed back each day, and how VetNotes was trained on over 10,000 pieces of veterinary-specific data..
But this conversation goes beyond time savings. Mitch shares his vision for an “AI intelligence layer” that transforms client communication, practice efficiency, and accuracy of patient workup.
Whether you are already using an AI scribe or still typing notes at 8pm, find out what we can achieve in the exciting AI space!
