The digital transformation in veterinary medicine: Telemedicine

Abstract

Veterinary telemedicine is not as novel a field as it would seem, as it has basically been practised ever since consultations by telephone are possible. More recently, technological advances in telecommunication have made it an exciting addition to analogue medicine, a fact that remains especially relevant during the global Covid-19 pandemic. This study aimed to survey animal owners’ perception and acceptance of digitalised animal healthcare, as it is an increasingly used tool in veterinary medicine.
