Overview
The LinkVet Healthcare Portal is the veterinary-facing platform within the Link Connected Pet ecosystem.
It provides veterinary teams with access to objective at home activity and sleep data collected from a Link Connected Pet device and the input of pet parents using the Link Connected Pet app.
The portal is designed to extend visibility into a pet’s daily activity between visits, supporting more informed clinical conversations and continuity of care as an adjunct resource to medical records.
Purpose of the LinkVet Portal
The primary purpose of the LinkVet Healthcare Portal is to help veterinary teams:
- Visualize objective data on the pets home activity and sleep patterns
- Identify changes in activity, sleep, or routine over time
- Support follow-up and recheck conversations
- Add objective context to clinical observations
- Improve continuity of care between visits
- Monitor patients against defined activity thresholds
- Flag patients based on clinical condition type
- Prioritize outreach based on deviation from recommended activity levels
It functions as a clinical support and monitoring tool, not a diagnostic system.
What the Portal Provides
When enabled for a clinic, the LinkVet Portal may provide:
1. Patient Sleep and Activity Trend Summaries
- Activity levels over time
- Sleep duration and consistency
- Changes in daily movement patterns
- High-level behavioral trends across days, weeks, and months
2. Longitudinal Patient Context
- Week-over-week and month-over-month comparisons
- Activity and Sleep trend visualization
- Non-diagnostic indicators and trends
- Baseline activity and sleep tracking for individual patients
3. Clinical Threshold Monitoring & Compliance Views
Clinics can configure custom activity thresholds and condition-based monitoring rules within the portal to support specific care plans.
Activity thresholds
- Minimum and maximum ranges for high-intensity activity
- Minimum and maximum ranges for low-intensity activity
Condition-based tagging
Patients can be flagged for specific clinical contexts such as:
- Post-surgical recovery
- Pain management
- Osteoarthritis (OA)
- Weight management programs
Compliance monitoring dashboard
Once configured, the portal can identify:
- Patients outside defined activity thresholds
- Pets not meeting expected recovery or mobility patterns
- Devices reporting out-of-compliance activity and sleep trends
- Patients deviating from expected baseline activity profiles
Clinics can also:
- Sort patients by compliance status with defined thresholds
- Filter by condition type
- Prioritize outreach based on severity or deviation
- Quickly identify patients requiring follow-up or intervention based on set parameters
This enables a shift from reactive review to proactive patient-level care management.
4. Patient Profiles (Enrolled Clients Only)
- Basic pet and owner-linked information
- Associated clinic relationship
- Available longitudinal wellness data (if enabled and shared)
- Activity and sleep history summaries over time
How It Fits Into Veterinary Care
The LinkVet Portal is designed to integrate directly into clinical workflows:
- Patient is seen in clinic
- Veterinary team provides care plan
- Pet parent uses Link Connected Pet at home
- The Link device collects activity and sleep data continuously
- Data is translated into insights in the app for pet parents
- Veterinary team reviews trends, thresholds, and compliance status in the portal
- Insights are used to support follow-up conversations, outreach prioritization, and care adjustments
This creates a continuous care loop between clinic visits and daily life.
What the LinkVet Portal Is NOT
To ensure appropriate clinical boundaries, the portal is NOT:
- A replacement for PIMS or EMR systems
- A diagnostic or treatment recommendation tool
- A real-time emergency monitoring system
- A prescribing or medical record system
- A substitute for clinical examination or judgment
All medical decisions remain entirely with the veterinary team.
Who Can Access It
Access to the LinkVet Healthcare Portal is limited to:
- Authorized veterinary clinic staff
- Clinics enrolled in the Link program
- Users with permissions assigned by their organization
Only pets associated with participating clients will appear in the system.
Data Visibility Considerations
Depending on clinic configuration and client participation:
- Not all patients will have available data
- Data depends on client onboarding and device usage
- AI chat content from pet parents is not displayed
- Only summarized wellness insights and trends are shown
- Threshold and compliance views are only available where configured
- Visibility is limited to enrolled clinic–patient relationships
Key Benefits for Clinics
The LinkVet Portal helps veterinary teams:
- Gain visibility into at-home behavioral patterns
- Improve quality of follow-up conversations
- Support chronic and preventive care programs
- Strengthen continuity between visits
- Better interpret client-reported changes
- Identify patients outside expected behavioral ranges
- Prioritize outreach based on clinical thresholds and compliance status
- Improve efficiency in managing at-risk or recovering patients
Key Takeaway
The LinkVet Healthcare Portal is a clinical support tool that provides summarized and longitudinal at-home insights for veterinary teams.
It helps bridge the gap between clinic visits and daily life by enabling:
- Trend-based behavioral understanding
- Threshold-based monitoring and compliance visibility
- Condition-based patient tracking
- Proactive outreach and care prioritization
While it enhances clinical context and operational efficiency, it remains separate from diagnostic systems and medical records and does not replace clinical judgment.
