As newer technology emerges, the cost of the technology decreases. Still, hospital infrastructure pressure and the prevalence of chronic medical conditions continue to rise, making telemedicine increasingly attractive to providers and patients. A system that began as a simple image transfer has evolved into a complex assemblage of technologies that form electronic medical networks to facilitate remotely assisted surgery, diagnostic or therapeutic consultations, case management, and education.
Telemedicine is utilized effectively in veterinary medicine, for example, for postoperative checks, scheduled follow-up visits for pets with chronic diseases, dermatological concerns, behavioral issues, generating and getting electronic prescriptions, etc. Moreover, telemedicine enables pet owners to receive prompt assistance in animals' non-obvious health issues (e.g., a dog's abrupt mild limping could indicate a simple muscle strain or severe muscle inflammation).
There are several advantages to telemedicine for the veterinarian, the clients, and the animals, as well as a few essential considerations. Financially, the hospital or clinic can benefit from treating clients who might not otherwise bring their pets in for treatment. Additionally, telemedicine can aid in preventing the transmission of disease by eliminating the need for the animal to interact with other animals in a waiting room.
Advances in telecommunication technologies, such as high-speed Internet and mobile devices, have facilitated veterinarians' remote communication with pet owners. This has established an environment conducive to expanding telemedicine in veterinary care in North America region. According to the American Pet Products Association's 2023–2024 National Pet Owners Survey, 86.9 million American households - or 66% of all households - own pets. The number of people owning pets and livestock has increased, and people are now more aware of the health of these animals. Therefore, the market is projected to grow considerably over the forecast period in North America due to the growing awareness of and spending on animal health.
