Evidence-based telemedicine for veterinarian care of livestock

Our research aims to demonstrate that veterinary care can be assessed and managed digitally through continuous monitoring, thus making the veterinary profession in rural areas more attractive and sustainable. The prototype of a telemedicine and teletriage architecture was developed using proven technology platforms (standardized IT services, secure cloud storage, and existing communication protocols). The ultimate objective is to create a model that demonstrates that digital tools can legally and effectively support rural veterinarians. The implementation reveals a distinct gap in the readiness levels of its two core components: the telecommunications backbone and the biometric sensor network. We deploy an experimental sensor network prototype to validate its ability to collect and interpret physiological and behavioral data for early disease detection, providing a proof of concept that the evidence-based veterinary telemedicine infrastructure is technically viable; however, the integrated sensor network requires further clinical validation in live animals to confirm its diagnostic effectiveness.
