About Us

TeleMedVET provides an innovative nuclear medicine and scientific research service operated by highly qualified nuclear specialists for equine and small animal veterinary care.

Company Overview

TeleMedVET (TMV) is an innovative veterinary diagnostics company revolutionising equine health and performance through cutting-edge technology. Founded by experts in nuclear medicine and horse racing, TMV is pioneering the integration of human-grade diagnostic capabilities into veterinary care. The company’s core innovation lies in its biomarker-based blood test and advanced imaging tools, which enable the early detection and prevention of skeletal injuries in racehorses. Backed by peer-reviewed research and collaborations with top racing organisations, TMV’s solution combines a handheld blood test device and CT/SPECT imaging to monitor bone fatigue and flag at-risk horses, well before injury occurs. This preventative approach supports better training decisions and significantly enhances animal welfare and racing performance.

TMV’s business model is underpinned by dual revenue streams: upfront sales of diagnostic kits and consumables, and ongoing income from the deployment and servicing of CT/SPECT imaging units in veterinary clinics and training centres. With strong industry partnerships, published scientific validation and minimal regulatory hurdles compared to human healthcare, TMV is positioned as a first-mover in equine diagnostics. Its technology offers unparalleled insight and predictive power, delivering both commercial returns and a tangible impact on animal welfare in the global racing industry.
