Building the vet industry's first comprehensive referral management platform
High Alpha Innovation, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and WARF partnered to launch Transfur, an AI-powered tool to extract, analyze and present veterinary records.
The opportunity
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the $32B veterinary market experienced an unexpected strain on veterinary practices, primarily due to a sharp increase in demand for veterinary services. As a result, veterinarians are looking for ways to be more efficient and more effectively utilize their staff -- outcomes that Transfur delivers while addressing the lack of interoperability, integrations and standards within veterinary medicine today.
The solution
In collaboration with the Varsity Venture Studio team, High Alpha Innovation systematically narrowed the UW-Madison idea pipeline to four concepts that were vetted through a sprint week, with ultimately one emerging to be launched as a software business.
Transfur makes it easy for veterinarians to request, send, manage and review medical records. As a B2B SaaS offering, the company brings a new level of innovation and efficiency to a technology-deprived vet space.
