Heska Diagnostics & Imaging x NectarVet Integration

Nectarvet is a full-service software option for vet practices. They help vets streamline administrative and operational tasks with an easy-to-navigate Practice Information Management Systems (PIMS). Heska Diagnostics specializes in providing vets with modern diagnostic tools. Their goal is to help vets employ AI and digital tools that improve the speed and accuracy of treatment. Integrating the two will allow vets who want the resources of both Heska and Nectarvet to easily sync – for a combination of efficient workflows and high-tech diagnostics. 

What Is Heska?

Heska is a pet healthcare company that provides veterinary practices with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and treatments. These include immunotherapy treatments, diagnostic AI and digital imaging tools, vaccines, and data services. Heska’s goal is to equip local vet practices with modern diagnostic imaging and tests that improve the speed and accuracy of treatment. In 2023, Heska was acquired by Antech. 

Heska Features

Heska connects vets with a broad range of features. Their Element Series in itself offers a versatile toolkit of functions that spans chemistry, hematology, and more. The Element Series also contains analyzers used to measure antigen and antibodies. Heska’s AI Microscope guarantees sharp images as well as easy storing for record-keeping. This facilitates imaging of fecal and urine samples with built-in cover slips to reduce sanitary concerns. 

Heska Diagnostic Tests

Beyond its Element product line, Heska equips vets with specialized diagnostic equipment for broad-spectrum testing. A Lyme test, an FIV/FelV test, a heartworm test, and a cancer blood test all reduce the time it takes to rule out worst-case scenarios and hone in on a probable diagnosis. As one example, the trūRapid Heartworm Antigen test delivers results in just 10 minutes. As the prognosis for heartworm is time-sensitive, this puts vet care in a more proactive treatment position.

Heska Imaging Options

Heska’s Cuattro series of products, which were put under the Antech brand, supplies vets with a wide range of imaging capabilities. This includes HD Radiography, regular and equine ultrasound, digital imaging, and an imaging Picture Archiving and Communications (PACS) platform. PACS enables vets to seamlessly log important data they may need to revisit or share at a later date. More generally, a diverse portfolio of imaging options means vets are in a position to probe underlying causes as they treat each patient.

Heska Allergy Testing Tools

Allergy testing is an exacting science. To help vets out with it, Heska offers the following specialized tools:

  1. Allercept Test  

Heska’s patented Allercept test is a serum allergy assessment fitted with special IgE (immunoglobin E) receptors for high levels of sensitivity. This along with easy results interpretation brings precision to the fine-tuned science of allergy testing.

  1. FRT (Food Reaction Test)

Heska’s FRT aids vets in understanding an animal’s food sensitivities. By looking at how an animal’s immune system reacts to the proteins in different foods they allow vets to recommend dietary limitations.

Heska Laboratory Services

Heska’s Laboratory Services are wide-ranging. They offer a full panel of blood diagnostics, including both chemistry and hematology. In addition, their set of specialty analyzers are equipped to test for blood clotting and coagulation. Like their other tests, these give vets specialist precision from the convenience of their local office. Vets and their staff can also reach to Heska for external lab support as well.

Heska Point-of-Care Analyzers

A point-of-care (POC) analyzer yields on-the-spot results. Heska’s set of POC analyzers includes: 

  • The Element POC, a handheld diagnostic device for electrolyte and other key measures
  • The Element i+ Immunodiagnostic Analyzer, an online platform for rapid testing.
  • The Element AI Microscopy, for imaging feces and urine samples with built-in sanitary slides.

Instead of wait times for tests, these devices mean a vet can confirm or eliminate a hunch in minutes. This better serves the vet and may save the client money as well.

How Does NectarVet Integrate with Heska?

Nectarvet integrates with Heska by allowing clients to sync their administrative software with their diagnostic tools. This helps vet practices avoid entering data twice and having to transfer records manually. It also allows them to integrate normally separate systems like their record keeping and their client communications portal – which helps cut down on repetitive tasks and workflows.
