System

Power on. Position camera. Begin surgery.

Vetucate is a dedicated surgical documentation appliance. It is not general software, a cloud service, or a subscription platform. The system ships as a purpose-built unit with an integrated touchscreen, local processing, and camera-ready hardware.

Screen rotation

Screen folded flat

Horizontal

Screen raised at an angle

Angled

Screen fully raised

Upright

The touchscreen panel rotates 90° from flat to fully upright, sitting flush on any counter when not in use and raising to a comfortable viewing angle during surgery.

Workflow

Before Surgery

  • Camera positioning preview
  • Microphone verification
  • Storage verification

During Surgery

  • Recording timer
  • Scrolling procedural timeline
  • Microphone and camera status
  • Stop recording

After Surgery

  • Interactive timeline
  • Synchronized recording
  • Structured report
  • Session manifest
  • Surgeon review and approval
  • USB export package

Camera shown uses a demonstration tripod. Clinical installations are intended to use a ceiling or wall mount for a cleaner, unobstructed setup.

What It Produces

Every procedure generates a complete export package: an interactive timeline, a synchronized 4K recording with automatic face blur, a structured report, and a session manifest (a structured, hashed record linking all artifacts to their captured evidence). All outputs are generated locally within minutes of surgery.

Clinical Role

The system operates alongside the surgical team without interrupting workflow. The veterinarian remains the sole authority for interpretation, judgment, and clinical decisions. Vetucate records what is observable and verbally stated. Nothing more.

Reliability

Interval-based recording. Recoverable by design.

Procedures are recorded in structured 30-second intervals. If an interruption occurs, only the active unfinished interval may be affected. All completed intervals are preserved. No unrecoverable surgery recording failures have been observed during testing.

Approval Workflow

Export requires surgeon sign-off.

After processing completes, the surgeon reviews the generated record on-device (timeline, report, and recording) and adds an approval note before export is permitted. No case can be exported without explicit sign-off. This is enforced at the system level, not by policy.

The approval gate is the concrete implementation of human-in-the-loop documentation: the system cannot bypass it, and neither can Vetucate remotely.

Dual-Model Pipeline

Two models. Two distinct evidence channels.

Vetucate:V (vision) reads the cardiac monitor on screen, extracting heart rate, SpO₂, and blood pressure from video frames. Vetucate:A (audio) processes spoken context, extracting respiratory rate, temperature, EtCO₂, anesthetic agent, and concentration from the surgical team's narration.

The two channels never cross-contaminate. Each extracts only from its own modality. Fields that cannot be reliably extracted record as null, never fabricated.
