What Vedi does
Vedi is an Australian veterinary health technology company headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, founded in 2017 by veterinary radiologist Dr Steve Joslyn, Ross Wyness, and Anton Tjea. Originally operating as VetDB before rebranding in 2023, the company has built a cloud-based platform that locks pet health records to the animal's microchip identifier, creating a universal medical record that travels with the pet across providers. The platform is structured as a core cloud health record with modular smart tools including Patient Check-in, Smart Vaccination, Smart Pathology, Microchip Registration, Digital Health Records, Pet Passport (digital wallet integration), Sidekick AI (consult transcription and summarisation), and Afterlife & Crematorium management. Hardware consists of the Vedi Hub connectivity device and the Realtrace V8BT Bluetooth microchip scanner.
The underlying architecture connects veterinary practices to pathology laboratories, microchip registries, emergency hospitals, crematoriums, and pet owners through integrations with major Practice Management Software platforms (ezyVet, Ascend, RxWorks, OpenVPMS, VisionVPM, VetlinkPro) and specialty partners (Gribbles, Vetnostics, Vetpath, NovaVet, Central Animal Records, Global Micro Animal Registry, Health4Horses, Evermore Pet Cremation). The technology is differentiated by its microchip-linked data model, automated pathology sample chain-of-custody using barcoded consumables, AI-powered consult summarisation, and predictive vaccination scheduling that accounts for species, breed, and prior immunisation history.
Vedi monetises through a $99/month subscription that bundles the Vedi Hub, scanner, Sidekick AI, and PIMS integrations, supplemented by transaction fees of $2-4 for vaccinations, pathology submissions, and microchip registrations, plus hardware sales. The company employs 11-50 staff, has accumulated operational scale of 554k patient visits and 302k pets supported across its network, and operates primarily in Australia with UK expansion funded by a $3 million January 2023 investment from MSD Animal Health and the Companion Fund. Earlier funding included a $478,000 AUD Australian Government Accelerating Commercialisation grant in 2021. Named customers include Cottesloe Vet Hospital, Swanbourne Vet Centre, Port Kennedy Vet Hospital, Your Pet's Vet, and Animal Emergency Australia.
