By Marko Höynälä, Founder of Vitals4Pets
When people see the sleek, wearable Vitals4Pets device, they often ask:How did you create something so compact, accurate, and animal-friendly?
The truth is—it took years of R&D, countless prototypes, and a shared passion for animal welfare.
Our journey began with a clear mission:to give veterinarians and pet owners real-time access to vital health insights—non-invasively and stress-free. Coming from a background in human health tech, we adapted our proven ECG and vitals monitoring technologies to meet the unique physiological and behavioral needs of animals.
What did that involve?
-
Testing across species—from tiny terriers to majestic horses
-
Ensuring the device works without shaving or sedation
-
Engineering comfort: soft, flexible wearability for all sizes
-
Accuracy verification with veterinary clinics and specialists
-
Real-life trials in calm and active environments
Our team didn’t settle for “good enough.” Every detail, from sensor placement to battery life, was challenged, tested, and improved. And we didn’t stop at the device—we made sure it integrates easily with veterinary systems through secure APIs, because data is only as useful as it is accessible.
Vitals4Pets is more than hardware—it’s a commitment to smarter, gentler animal care. I’m proud of what we’ve built, and even more excited about what’s next.
Thanks for following our journey. If you’re attending Zoomark in Bologna, come see us in Hall 16 | Stand NEXT 8E. We’d love to show you what’s under the hood.
