UF Startup Helping Veterinarians Take Animal Vital Signs Brings Its Product to the Zoo

Vik Ramprakash, founder of UF startup Structured Monitoring Products (SMP), is making the process of taking vital signs easier and safer. The company’s VetGuardian™ monitor remotely gathers vital signs, including temperature, pulse and respiration of sick, injured or post-operative animals.

The wireless process removes the time-consuming tasks of assessing and documenting the data while eliminating the probing that can cause anxiety and pain for the animals, all while keeping veterinarians safe.

“The biggest pain point for any vet is to monitor the animals,” says Ramprakash. “So we developed a system that is completely wireless, lessening that burden.”
