Frequently Asked Questions About PawCheck
How accurate is PawCheck's AI pet diagnosis?
PawCheck provides AI-supported *preliminary visual screening*, not medical diagnosis. Its accuracy has been benchmarked against board-certified veterinary dermatologists, ophthalmologists, and internal medicine specialists across key categories—with sensitivity ranging from 86–93% for high-prevalence, visually distinct conditions. However, it does not replace hands-on exams, lab testing, or professional clinical judgment. Always follow up with a licensed veterinarian for confirmation and treatment planning.
What pet health issues can PawCheck detect?
PawCheck supports rapid visual assessment across 20+ categories, including—but not limited to: • Skin: rashes, hot spots, alopecia, lumps, ringworm, flea allergy dermatitis • Eyes: conjunctival injection, corneal cloudiness, discharge type, third eyelid exposure • Ears: cerumen color/texture, erythema, ulceration, mite debris • Dental: tartar accumulation, gingival recession, ulceration, halitosis-associated discoloration • Digestive signs: stool consistency/form (Bristol Stool Scale adapted for pets), vomit color/texture, urine hue/clarity • Systemic indicators: body condition scoring, ear margin scaling, claw overgrowth patterns, and more—for both dogs and cats.
