How it works

No typing. Point your camera at the paperwork you already have.

Step one

Photograph the document

A vaccination card, a lab report, discharge notes, an insurance letter. Camera, photo library or a PDF.

Step two

The AI reads it

Kovan works out what each page is and pulls out the details — dates, doses, results. Handwriting included, in almost any language. Useful when your rescue arrived with Romanian paperwork.

Step three

The record builds itself

Vaccinations, lab values, medications and visits land in one profile, with a note of anything that needs attention.

Your pet's records belong to you

The practice keeps its own files. What you take home is whatever gets printed and handed over — and after a house move or two, half of it's gone.

Kovan turns that paper into a record you hold yourself: one that moves with your pet when you change practice, see an out-of-hours vet at 2am, or answer the insurer's questions. And you can always ask your practice for a copy of the full clinical history — RCVS guidance says they should provide it.

What Kovan keeps track of

Everything a vet would ask you about, without the folder of paper.

Vaccinations

Every jab with its date. When the next booster isn't written anywhere, Kovan works it out from standard schedules and tells you what's overdue.

Lab results

Blood panels captured as numbers, not photos — with anything out of range flagged.

Medication reminders

Kovan reads the dose off the prescription, picks sensible times and reminds you. Snooze or skip when life gets in the way.

Visits and history

Diagnoses and examination notes on one timeline, so you can answer "when did this start?" without guessing.

Weight

Pulled off the documents automatically, or logged by hand. Charted over time.

Insurance claims

Claim forms want dates, diagnoses and treatment history. It's all in one place, instead of a drawer and your memory of March.

Taking them to Europe?

Since Brexit, every EU trip needs an Animal Health Certificate — issued in the ten days before you travel, at £110 or more a time, against exact microchip and rabies details.

Kovan keeps the details the appointment turns on — so you're not ringing the practice from the ferry queue.

If the worst happens

Every pet gets a QR tag. Anyone who scans it — a vet, whoever finds them — opens an emergency health card straight away. No app, no login.

  • Drug allergies, chronic conditions and current medications, up front
  • Blood type, microchip and passport number
  • Your number, your vet's, and how to approach them
  • You get a notification the moment the code is scanned
  • Switch it off per pet whenever you like

Private by default

A pet's medical history says a lot about the household it lives in. We treat it that way.

Your data stays in the EU

Records and document images live on servers in Germany, encrypted in transit and at rest.

No ads, no tracking

Kovan carries no advertising identifiers and sells nothing to anyone. Analytics stays off until you turn it on.

Questions

Which documents can it read?

Vaccination cards, pet passports, lab reports, discharge notes, insurance letters — printed or handwritten, in almost any language. If your rescue came from Romania or Cyprus, Kovan reads the original paperwork; you don't need to translate a thing.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Open the app and start scanning. You can add an email later if you want the record on a second device.

Can I get my pet's history from my vet?

Yes — ask the practice for a copy of the clinical records. RCVS guidance says they should provide it, though some charge a small fee. Scan whatever they give you and Kovan sorts the rest.

What happens to my documents?

Images are sent to OpenAI to be read, and aren't retained for training. Everything Kovan stores lives on servers in Germany. The details are in the privacy policy.

Is Kovan a substitute for a vet?

No. It organises the records and flags things worth asking about. Diagnosis and treatment are your vet's job.

Will it help with an Animal Health Certificate?

Kovan can't issue one — only an Official Veterinarian can. What it does is keep the details the appointment depends on: microchip number, rabies dates and vaccination history, all in one place.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Kovan is on iPhone today.

Which languages does the app speak?

English, Polish, German, Italian, Spanish and Czech.
