Zomedica Acquires UF Startup Structured Monitoring Products Adding Revolutionary VetGuardian Touchless Vital Signs Monitor to Product Portfolio
Zomedica Corp., a veterinary health company offering diagnostic and therapeutic products for companion animals, announced it has completed the acquisition of UF startup Structured Monitoring Products, Inc., the makers of the VetGuardian touchless vital signs monitoring technology.
“We are excited about continuing to bring this groundbreaking technology to veterinarians around the world,” stated Greg Blair, VP of Business Development and Strategic Planning for Zomedica. “We’ll be manufacturing the VetGuardian system in our Global Manufacturing and Distribution Center in Roswell, Georgia, and distributing through our own sales team and animal health distributors in the United States and have plans to launch internationally.”
The VetGuardian Platform was developed using technology created by lead University of Florida innovator Jenshan Li and his team in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. The platform improves the quality of care of pets during recovery from surgery and overnight stays in the clinic.
By providing staff with real-time alerts when vital signs deviate from a preset range, VetGuardian allows the staff to intervene in health issues more quickly, improving care. Its unique patented Doppler technology allows the VetGuardian system to obtain vital signs in real-time without wired leads or a harness on the pet, thus allowing the pet to rest comfortably during recovery.
