Program section chairs share their key learnings and take-home messages from the two-day event. 

Explore the potential of robotic pets, their evolution due to advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, and the possibility of people to form emotional bonds with them. 

Explore the advantages and potential complications associated with integration of artificial intelligence-augmented tools and workflows into veterinary medicine during this practical, yet aspirational, session. 

Artificial intelligence is having a profound impact on health care. While real-world applications now exist to streamline documentation and client communication, even more exciting digital tools and solutions are on the horizon.  

“Nutriomics” is the study of the relationships between food, nutrition, and health to help improve health outcomes. Learn how multi-omics technologies are being applied to prevent and manage chronic health conditions in people. 

Data generated in pet nutrition and veterinary medicine are increasingly complex and require advanced technologies to make sense. Learn how Purina uses in silico modeling and machine learning to find nutritional solutions. 

Learn how Purina researchers applied multi-omics to study the metabolic changes that occur in feline kidneys during chronic kidney disease, a leading cause of death in senior and geriatric cats. 

Learn how researchers have used multi-omics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to study gut microbiome development, maturation, and other dynamics in puppies. 

Discover how a world-class human medicine institution is building the future of personalized medicine and precision health by learning how to keep people healthy through the use of omics and computer technologies.

Learn how artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are being used to develop monitoring devices that enable veterinary professionals and pet owners to provide the best possible care for cats. 

Learn how researchers are combining meta-omics, bioinformatics, and machine learning to study the gut microbiome in situ and, ultimately, to explain its importance in animal health and development. 

Learn how digital technology can improve pet owner engagement and compliance when smart devices are added to a pet’s traditional weight loss program.
