In This Episode
In this episode of the Veterinary Innovation Podcast, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak chat with Brendan Baker, the founder and CEO of PawthosX, to explore a bold new vision for veterinary operational infrastructure. Drawing from his background in human emergency services and hospital leadership, Brendan explains why many legacy PIMS platforms create friction for veterinary teams instead of reducing it.
Brendan introduces the concept of an AI-native operating system, a platform that acts as an orchestration layer for the modern clinic. Instead of a closed system, PawthosX utilizes an “agentic” structure with over 45 specialized AI agents that manage everything from real-time scribing and automated SOAP notes to smart reporting, where you simply talk to the AI to generate data. This modular approach allows veterinary teams to keep the tools they love while maintaining a simple, consistent user interface designed to bring “calm” back to the hospital floor. The result: less time managing systems, more time practicing medicine.
