AnimaPulseDigitise your pet's record without retyping it
The objection is always the same — "I would have to retype years of records". Photograph it, the app reads and pre-fills. All you have to do is check.

The real reason digital records get abandoned
It is not the design, nor the price. It is the first half hour: an empty record to fill in by hand, vaccine by vaccine, deciphering labels stuck on crooked and handwritten prescriptions. Most people stop at the second pet — or the third vaccine.
A digital health record still empty on day two is a dead record.
How it goes
- You photograph the document: a page of the paper record with its vaccine labels, a prescription, an invoice.
- The app reads the text and pulls out what it recognises — the vaccine name, the dates, the batch number, the amount.
- It opens a review sheet: every proposed field, next to what it read.
- You correct what needs correcting, and confirm.
Nothing is saved on its own. That is deliberate: on a medical document, an automatic reading that wrote itself in unchecked would be worse than typing it by hand. The machine proposes, you dispose.
What it recognises
- The usual vaccine valences — DHP, DHPP, DAPP, RCP, FVRCP, myxomatosis-RHD, rabies, and their many commercial variants
- Dates in their common formats
- Batch numbers
- Amounts, which head off to the health budget
What it does not recognise, you type: it is an accelerator, not an oracle.
Reading happens on your device
This is the point that matters most, and it is not cosmetic. Text recognition runs entirely on your phone — Vision on iPhone, ML Kit on Android — and the model is bundled inside the app. Concretely:
- your prescriptions are sent nowhere, to nobody;
- it works offline;
- it works on an Android device without Google services;
- nothing downloads on first scan.
Plenty of apps would say "processed on your device" with an asterisk somewhere. Here there is none: it is the same commitment as the rest of the product — your data lives on your phone, or on our servers in France, and nowhere else.
How long to take over an existing record
In practice, a few minutes per pet: the vaccine pages of the paper record photograph in one go, and prescriptions follow as they come. The rest — weights, contacts, appointments — fills itself in with use.
Snap a photo, the app reads the rest
The scan recognises the vaccine, the date and the batch, and pre-fills the record.
