Our Founder

Founder, Dr. Neil Shaw, is a visionary for companion animal practice.
He firmly believes that our profession will continue to advance not only by simply improving the quality of care, but by reducing the delivery cost as well. After relocating to San Diego — a global leader in biotechnology development — he founded SignalPET to support the profession he has known his whole life and loves dearly. When asked why SignalPET, he simply says “I don’t know anything else outside of veterinary medicine.”
SignalPET was created to help veterinarians gain more diagnostic value from traditional radiographs.
In Dr. Shaw’s experience, it is always helpful to compare any diagnostic test to known normals. SignalPET, a patented process, utilizes machine learning to develop normals based on millions of x-ray data points. Practitioners can now read their own films while instantly supported by the most advanced technology medicine has to offer. In addition, every time a veterinarian uses SignalPET, the machine learning system improves, ultimately supporting veterinarians everywhere. Colleagues are invited and encouraged to help and shape our own future. SignalPET fees have purposely been kept to the absolute minimum needed in order to democratize our profession and bring us together as a community.
