Problem
Veterinary practices often face delays in obtaining lab results for bacterial infections in pets, leading to empirical antibiotic prescriptions that may be ineffective or contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Traditional laboratory testing can take several days, prolonging patient discomfort and potentially requiring multiple treatment adjustments.
Solution

The platform consists of the SHERPA™ Vision, a reusable IoT-connected device with integrated heater and imager, and the SHERPA™ Chip, a consumable test containing all necessary reagents. By providing rapid, on-demand molecular insights, the SHERPA™ platform enables veterinarians to prescribe targeted antibiotic treatments from the outset, improving patient recovery and promoting responsible antibiotic use.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes veterinary clinics and hospitals that treat companion animals, specifically dogs and cats, for bacterial infections.
