Veterinary telemedicine, using remote consultations and technology, is under-researched despite its long history. Further studies are needed to validate its efficacy and explore its applications in animal care.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Digital Health
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Veterinary surgeons have historically consulted remotely, with telemedicine applications emerging since the early 1980s.
  • Despite its presence, veterinary telemedicine remains an under-researched field.
  • Human medicine has advanced telemedicine research significantly more than veterinary medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on veterinary telemedicine.
  • To identify key themes and research gaps in the field.
  • To highlight the need for further research into the validity and efficacy of veterinary telemedicine.

Main Methods:

  • Searched PubMed and CAB International databases using keywords like 'veterinary telemedicine' and 'animal telecare'.

  • Conducted a supplementary search on Google Scholar for relevant worldwide web content.
  • Reviewed 25 retrieved papers, noting the limited number reporting research (2/25) and the lack of references in most.

    • Main Results:

    • The review identified several recurring themes: applications, benefits, practice areas, ethical/legal issues, image standards, equipment, image acquisition, and education.
    • A significant lack of empirical research was found, with only two papers reporting actual research.
    • Many papers lacked references, and a single author dominated a portion of the literature.

    Conclusions:

    • Veterinary telemedicine is a developing field with numerous discussed aspects but limited research validation.
    • There is a critical need for more research to establish the validity and efficacy of veterinary telemedicine.
    • The field requires further investigation to match the research output seen in human telemedicine.
