Workup vs VetWay

Both say they give a GP time back, and they do it in opposite ways. VetWay answers questions and writes up the consult. Workup does not answer questions or write anything down — it measures, doses and calculates, and every number it prints can be checked.

VHS/VLAS is canine, from a good-quality right lateral radiograph. On-device means the nine calculators, the 326-drug catalog and the references; VHS/VLAS and the USG Predictor run on cloud inference and need a connection.

Which one
fits you

They are not the same tool, and one of them is not for you

Pick VetWay

Pick VetWay if what eats your day is writing rather than measuring — you want the consult summarised and a research answer you can read between appointments, and you are willing to wait for early access and to take the reasoning claim on the vendor’s word. It is aimed at a different half of the appointment than Workup is.

Pick Workup

Pick Workup if the thing you keep redoing is a number: a heart to measure, a dose to work out, a rate to set. Ours is shipping today with a published algorithm behind the cardiac measurement and a price you can read, and the dosing keeps working in a room with no signal. It will not write your notes, and it is not trying to.

Every Workup plan is the entire app and starts with a 30-day free trial. The three cadences and the FAQ are worth reading first.
