About the event topic:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming veterinary medicine by enhancing diagnostics, streamlining operations, and expanding at-home care possibilities. Currently, AI applications are advancing in areas such as imaging diagnostics, where tools rival or surpass human accuracy in interpreting radiographs and laboratory tests, enabling faster, more precise decision-making. Speech-to-text and scribing technologies are reducing administrative burdens by automating medical record-keeping, allowing veterinarians to focus on patient care. AI-powered wearables and apps are also enabling at-home monitoring and early detection of health issues, paving the way for proactive, preventive care. As these technologies mature, AI will play an increasingly integral role in veterinary practice, driving efficiency, accuracy, and patient-centered innovation. We'll talk about these areas and more during our session and you'll leave the session with practical tips on how to better utilize AI for your workflows.
About our speaker:
Aaron Massecar, MA, Ph.D., MBA, is the Executive Director of the Veterinary Innovation Council. After completing his Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Guelph in 2011 and then teaching for 5 years, Dr. Massecar transitioned to veterinary medicine where he believed he could have a greater impact than what could be done in academic philosophy. His first work in veterinary medicine was with Texas A&M where he helped to build the Veterinary Entrepreneurship Academy and the Veterinary Innovation Summit. He later started working on telemedicine with the Veterinary Innovation Council in 2017. While at VIC, he helped to build educational programs for the North American Veterinary Community and later became the Senior Vice President of Learning at the NAVC. A couple of senior executive positions with Colorado State University’s Translational Medicine Institute and the Veterinary Emergency Group, now Dr. Massecar is back at the Veterinary Innovation Council and helping to drive awareness across the industry in domains such as innovation, entrepreneurship, and artificial intelligence. He recently completed his MBA with a focus on organizational strategy. Aaron and his wife live in Colorado with their three dogs and two cats.
