Sonus Health provides a digital auscultation platform that enables veterinary clinics to perform regular, at‑home heart and respiratory scans on animals, delivering longitudinal monitoring that bridges the gap between a brief in‑clinic exam and specialist referral. The service includes diplomate‑signed reports with murmur and arrhythmia assessments delivered within 24 hours for 95% of cases, and creates a recurring revenue stream through dedicated care plans. This continuous monitoring increases owner engagement by up to four‑fold and helps detect cardiac issues earlier.

Problem
Veterinary clinics often lack a practical way to monitor pets’ heart and respiratory health between annual exams, leading to missed early signs of disease and costly, delayed specialist referrals.
Solution
Sonus Health provides a tele‑auscultation platform that enables owners to perform at‑home heart and lung scans using a handheld device. The recordings are uploaded to the Sonus app, where board‑certified veterinary cardiologists review them and deliver written reports within 24 hours for the majority of cases. Clinics can track longitudinal data, receive actionable recommendations, and integrate the service into dedicated care plans that generate recurring revenue without extensive in‑clinic time.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small‑to‑mid‑size veterinary practices seeking to enhance cardiac care and generate new revenue streams, as well as pet owners interested in proactive health monitoring.
