About ANI.ML Health

Veterinarians and engineers building validated AI for veterinary medicine

ANI.ML Health Inc. is a Toronto-based veterinary AI company. Our team of veterinarians, machine-learning scientists and engineers builds Hachiko, ARC, OpenBark, VAULT and Balto, and tests them in published research before they reach clinics.

Our mission

Create AI tools at the forefront of veterinary medicine — through research, collaboration and clinical innovation.

Every tool starts from a real hospital workflow. Board-certified veterinarians work alongside ML engineers on design, validation, deployment and long-term maintenance, so the same people who build a tool are accountable for how it performs.
