I. Focused on Exotic Pet Care, Tackling the Challenge of Clinical Standardization

Exotic pet medicine—covering rabbits, turtles, birds, and reptiles—has long faced unique clinical challenges, including small body size, thin body walls, and high stress responses. These factors place demanding requirements on imaging precision and operator technique. With China's pet market now exceeding RMB 310 billion, veterinary care and health management have become one of the fastest-growing segments, making standardization in exotic pet diagnosis a key industry priority.

II. An Integrated Software-Hardware Solution: A Complete Workflow from Imaging to Diagnosis

The Pet Care AI Assistant V1 is built on Begin Petcare's proprietary LingShou ELFVET, a multimodal veterinary vertical large language model. Working in concert with portable ultrasound, ECG, and other diagnostic devices, the platform covers the full diagnostic workflow—from image acquisition and structured medical records to multimodal data integration.

The product ecosystem spans three core areas: an AI-powered diagnostic matrix (including the Pet Care AI Assistant V1, AI rapid test analyzers, and PCR-based isothermal nucleic acid testing); smart wearable and monitoring devices (AI smart stethoscopes, patch-type long-term ECG monitors, and more); and a family of portable ultrasound systems (including the Q33 and Q53). Together, these solutions provide veterinary hospitals with end-to-end support from examination to diagnosis, lowering the barrier to high-quality exotic pet care.

III. Clinical Validation Through Expert-Led Training

During the conference's closed-door practical sessions, specialists from institutions including the China Agricultural University Veterinary Teaching Hospital and the Changsha Dandelion Animal Hospital demonstrated the Begin Petcare diagnostic equipment while training participants in ultrasound scanning and animal restraint techniques. The experts emphasized the importance of restraint that is "gentle yet secure"—a principle that aligns closely with Begin Petcare's design philosophy of precision and minimizing animal stress.

IV. Advancing Veterinary AI and Supporting Industry Progress

Begin Petcare has long been committed to veterinary AI, pursuing an integrated "large model + hardware" approach to move AI technologies from concept to clinical practice. The company's deep involvement in the Exotic Pet Track reflects its sustained focus on exotic pet medicine. Going forward, Begin Petcare will continue to work with veterinary specialists and healthcare institutions to deliver more professional products and services, supporting the high-quality development of the veterinary industry.
