Do cephalopods change color when under distress? Is the reptilian heart analogous to a diaphragm positive displacement pump? Are digital twins the answer for animal experimentation? This book explores the new field of veterinary engineering science and discusses how to better measure vital signs in exotic and companion animals. A vast opportunity exists for developing novel technologies that target reductions to the number of invasive procedures patients are subjected to. We examine improvements to animal care and enhancement of animal welfare while creating a more sustainable veterinary healthcare ecosystem. The authors address the challenges engineers face in designing healthcare equipment for animals and how the field of veterinary engineering contributes to traditional veterinary medicine. This book brings a novel field of engineering to train future veterinarians and engineers on design and application of technology to veterinary medicine.
Serves as a learning resource for the training and education of veterinary students, veterinarians and engineers
Demonstrates through experiments and case studies the merging point between engineering and veterinary medicine
Discusses concepts and issues associated with engineering and veterinary medicine
Illustrates veterinary challenges using an engineering-design approach
Provides examples of veterinary applications with successful outcomes, incorporating step-by-step directions for engineers
Dr. Nadja Bressan is an Assistant Professor at Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, Canada. Her research program applies mechatronics to biomedicine, in the last two years she applied engineering methods to Veterinary Medicine aiming the welfare of the animals from novel technologies for monitoring to augmented reality for training and clinic therapeutics. Dr. Catherine Creighton received her DVM from the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC), University of PEI (UPEI) in 1995 and then worked in mixed animal private practice in the United States and Canada. She returned to academia and completed a combined residency in Anesthesia and Analgesia and Master of Science program at the AVC, UPEI in 2011. From 2011 to 2013 she was a Lecturer in Anaesthesia & Analgesia at the Companion Animal Health Centre, School of Animal & Veterinary Sciences, University of Adelaide, Australia. Dr. Creighton is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia & Analgesia. She has been a veterinary anesthesiologist at the AVC, UPEI since July 2013, and is currently an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology. Dr. Creighton received the 2014 Students of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association Teacher of the Year Award and the 2019 Zoetis Carl J. Norden Distinguished Teacher Award.
