CES 2025 veterinary medicine standouts

What happens in Vegas might normally stay in Vegas—but not when it occurs at CES 2025.

The annual tech event, powered by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), took place last week in Las Vegas. The event welcomed over 141,000 attendees (40% of which were international).

With more than 4,500 exhibitors on the ground (1,400 of which were start-ups), it’s little surprise that industries ranging from wellness and beauty to finance and security were represented. Highlights included showings in categories, including AI, digital health, energy transition, mobility, sustainability, and more.

And of course, veterinary medicine was right there in the middle of it. Vets love tech, right?

CES 2025 product previews

Not every product showcased at CES 2025 makes it to market. Even CES Innovation Award honorees aren’t guaranteed to become available to the public. Still, knowing what types of products are being debuted at events like this can provide insight into what we might expect to see in the coming years.

We’ve rounded up a few vet med products recognized as CES Innovation Award 2025 honorees. Which ones do you suppose will make it to market? Which would make your work easier?

Point Biotech: Early Cancer Screening Device in Pets (Digital Health)

According to the product description, this device combines a cancer-targeting contrast agent and an optical imaging technology. These features visualize only tumors with high contrast, even in ambient light. This is designed to address current technological limitations of conventional optical imaging systems that detect tumors only in a dark room. There’s still much to learn about how this technology would be applied in veterinary practice. You don’t have to wait any longer to get expert insight on the treatment of cancer in patients, though. Check out our oncology guidelines for details.

BrainU Co., Ltd.: VET CAI (Pet Tech & Animal Welfare)

This is described as “the world’s first EEG-based anesthesia depth meter developed exclusively for animals that tracks the level of consciousness during surgery and monitors the depth of anesthesia by indexing it.” It’s a non-invasive option that doesn’t require hair removal with a great cause. It was created to help prevent deaths from excessive anesthesia depth or premature awakening during procedures due to insufficient anesthetic depth. (It’s not exactly part of our guidelines, but it’s always good to see strides being made in reducing anesthesia-related complications!)

LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc.: LG Pet Care Zone (Pet Tech & Animal Welfare)

This dual entry/exit temperature-controlled pet house uses modern sensors and AI algorithms to monitor pets’ vitals. Metrics include heart and respiratory rates, weight, temperature, and more, which can help pet parents better communicate with their veterinarians. In fact, the built-in camera and mobile app allows remote AI health checks on conditions, including patella luxation, gum disease, and obesity, and says it facilitates vet consultations as well. (Timely advances, given the rise of telehealth.)
