Traditional Paper Medical Records Cause Severe Isolation of Pet Health Information
When Pets Need Referral or Emergency Off-Site Medical Treatment, Over 85% of Health Information Cannot Be Timely Obtained by New Veterinarians
Pet healthcare relies heavily on the continuity and accessibility of health information, yet traditional paper medical records have become a major barrier to effective care, leading to severe isolation of pet health data. A critical issue arises during referral or emergency off-site medical treatment: statistics show that over 85% of health information cannot be timely obtained by new veterinarians. This information gap is particularly dangerous in emergency situations, where delayed access to key data such as allergy histories, previous surgeries, or chronic disease diagnoses can hinder accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, putting pets’ lives at risk. For example, a pet with a hidden heart condition may experience a life-threatening reaction if a new veterinarian, unaware of the condition, administers a incompatible medication. NFC Stickers offer a transformative solution to break down these information silos. By storing comprehensive pet health records in a digital format accessible via near-field communication, NFC Stickers enable authorized veterinarians to instantly retrieve complete health information, ensuring seamless continuity of care regardless of the treatment location and addressing the critical limitations of traditional paper records.
The Average Time to Locate and Organize Paper Medical Records Is as Long as 23 Minutes, Seriously Delaying the Treatment Process
Beyond the issue of information inaccessibility, traditional paper medical records are inherently inefficient, leading to significant delays in the treatment process. Data indicates that the average time to locate and organize paper medical records is as long as 23 minutes. This delay occurs at a critical juncture—when a pet arrives at the clinic, often in distress—and can have serious consequences for its health. For instance, a pet suffering from acute poisoning requires immediate intervention, but the 23-minute wait to find its paper records can delay the administration of life-saving antidotes. Additionally, this inefficiency increases operational costs for veterinary clinics, as staff spend valuable time managing and retrieving physical records instead of focusing on patient care. NFC Stickers eliminate these delays by enabling instant access to pet health records. With a simple scan of the NFC Sticker attached to the pet’s collar, veterinarians can retrieve all relevant health information within seconds, streamlining the check-in process and ensuring that treatment begins promptly. This efficiency not only improves the quality of care but also enhances the overall operational performance of veterinary facilities.
Electronic Records Managed by Owners Themselves Are Fragmented and Inconsistent in Format, Lacking Industry Interoperability Standards
Some pet owners attempt to address the limitations of paper records by maintaining electronic records themselves, but this approach introduces new problems: these self-managed electronic records are fragmented and inconsistent in format, lacking industry-wide interoperability standards. Pet owners may store health information across multiple platforms—such as notes on their phones, spreadsheets, or third-party apps—making it difficult to compile a complete and coherent health history. Furthermore, the lack of standardization means that the information is often unstructured and incompatible with veterinary clinic systems, requiring staff to spend additional time organizing and verifying the data. This fragmentation and inconsistency can lead to missing or inaccurate information, compromising the quality of care. NFC Stickers solve this problem by integrating with a standardized digital health management system. All health information—including vaccination records, medication histories, and diagnostic reports—is stored in a unified, structured format that is compatible with veterinary clinic systems. This standardization ensures that pet health records are complete, consistent, and easily accessible to authorized caregivers, eliminating the inefficiencies and risks associated with fragmented owner-managed electronic records.
Weather-Resistant NFC Stickers Adapt to High-Activity Application Scenarios in Pet Lives
The Stickers Are Encapsulated in Medical-Grade Silicone and Fixed Inside the Pet Collar, Achieving IP68 Waterproof and Dustproof Rating
Pets lead active lives that expose them to a variety of harsh environments—from rain and mud to sand and water activities—so any pet healthcare device must be highly durable and weather-resistant. NFC Stickers are designed to meet these demands, featuring medical-grade silicone encapsulation and a secure attachment inside the pet collar, achieving an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating. The IP68 rating is the highest level of protection against dust and water, ensuring that the NFC Stickers remain fully functional even when submerged in water up to 1.5 meters deep for extended periods. This durability is critical for pets that enjoy swimming, playing in the rain, or exploring dusty outdoor areas, as it prevents water or debris from damaging the electronic components of the sticker. The medical-grade silicone material is also hypoallergenic, ensuring that it does not irritate the pet’s skin even with long-term contact.
