Veterinary Innovation Podcast

Have you ever walked into an exam room knowing the medicine… but struggling with HOW to communicate it?

How do you communicate a grim medical prognosis?
How do you talk about a $5,000 treatment plan without losing the client?
How do you prepare for those conversations before having them with a real client?

This week on the Veterinary Innovation Podcast, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak welcome Neshmeen Faatimah, the founder of Nuzzle Technologies, Inc.

After losing her cat to a communication breakdown, Neshmeen built a platform that helps veterinarians practice high-stakes conversations around diagnostics, costs, treatment plans, and client resistance using AI-simulated pet owners.

Communication isn’t just a soft skill. It directly impacts trust, compliance, burnout, and patient care.

If you’ve ever left a room thinking, “I could have handled that better,” this episode is for you🎧: https://veterinaryinnovationpodcast.com/episodes/training-better-vet-conversations-with-ai-simulations/

📊 How much are you missing between visits?

This week on the Veterinary Innovation Podcast, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak welcome Dr. Asaf Dagan, Chief Veterinary Scientist and Co-Founder of PetPace, to explore how continuous monitoring is changing what veterinarians can actually see.

From tracking vitals like HRV, temperature, and respiration to identifying early signs of pain or neurological events, the conversation focuses on how real-world data can complement what happens in the exam room.

The episode also looks at how this data is being used in practice today and what it means for earlier intervention and more informed follow-ups.

In this episode:
✅ How continuous monitoring helps detect changes before clinical signs become obvious
✅ Why point-in-time exams limit visibility into chronic conditions
✅ How monitoring supports better follow-ups between visits
✅ Where this fits into real clinical workflows today
