Petriage, a pet health technology company, has developed a veterinary platform it calls a “teletriage symptom analysis tool” that informs pet owners of the urgency of seeking care for their ailing dog or cat, based on information they input about their pet’s symptoms.
In addition, it is offering the phone-based Petriage Live consultative triage service that provides advice to pet owners any time from a team of veterinary nurses, after a pet owner’s use of the symptom checker.
Petriage claims the system, driven by artificial intelligence, is more than 97% accurate.
Petriage is teaming with pet insurer Crum & Forster Pet Insurance Group, which is behind the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance and Hartviile Pet Insurance programs. The two hope to increase the number of pet owners who have access to Petriage’s online pet symptom checker and Petriage Live, its 24/7 nurse helpline.
The services are expected to become available to customers enrolled in the C&F Pet’s ASPCA Pet Health Insurance and Hartville Pet Insurance programs early this year.
Bob Capobianco, senior vice president of Crum & Forster Pet Insurance Group, said the symptom analysis tool and 24/7 vet nurse helpline enhance the value of his firm’s insurance and supports its mission to “help pets enjoy longer and healthier lives.”
Under the partnership, pet owners will be able to access the Petriage services directly from the ASPCA or Hartville pet insurance program member centers.
