How AI Health Monitoring Saves Lives

I want to tell you some stories that made me cry. These are real stories from real people. People who almost lost their cats. But they didn't - because AI helped them find problems early.

When I hear these stories, I feel so happy. This is why I work on Borzi every day. This is why I don't sleep sometimes. Because every story like this means one more cat is alive and healthy.

Let me share these stories with you.

Kiki's Story: "I Had No Idea She Was Sick"

Marjan lives in London. She has a British Shorthair named Kiki. Kiki is 4 years old with the most beautiful grey fur.

Marjan told me: "Kiki looked completely normal. She ate her food. She played with her toys. She slept on my bed every night. I thought everything was perfect."

But Marjan started using Borzi's weekly AI scans. Just simple photos of Kiki's eyes and fur.

After 3 weeks, Borzi sent her a warning: "We see small changes in Kiki's eyes. The clarity is getting worse. Please talk to your vet about kidney function."

Marjan was confused. "Kiki looks fine!" she thought. But she trusted the AI and went to the vet anyway.

The vet did blood tests. And then the vet called with bad news.

"Kiki has early stage kidney disease," the vet said. "But here's the good news - we found it very early. Most cats don't show symptoms until 75% of their kidney is damaged. Kiki is only at 20%."

Marjan started crying when she told me this part.

"The AI found Kiki's kidney problem 6 months before I would have noticed anything wrong. 6 months! By then, it would be too late. Kiki would be dying."

Now Kiki takes special medicine. She eats kidney-friendly food. And she's doing great - her numbers are getting better, not worse.

Marjan said something that I will never forget: "Borzi didn't just find a disease. Borzi gave me more years with Kiki. How do you put a price on that?"

I don't know, Marjan. I don't think you can.

Tyson's Scary Night: 11 PM Emergency

This story still gives me chills.

Manouch lives in Watford with his cat Tyson. Tyson is a curious orange tabby who loves to explore everything.

One night at 11 PM, Manouch saw Tyson eating something. He looked closer. It was a lily flower from a bouquet on the table.

Manouch didn't know this, but lilies are extremely poisonous for cats. Even a small bite can destroy their kidneys. Many cats die from this.

Manouch opened Borzi and did an emergency scan. He took photos of Tyson and typed what happened.

The AI response came in 30 seconds:

"⚠️ URGENT: LILY POISONING IS LIFE-THREATENING FOR CATS. RUSH TO EMERGENCY VET IMMEDIATELY. EVERY MINUTE MATTERS."

Manouch told me: "My heart stopped. I didn't know lilies were dangerous. I had no idea. If I waited until morning, Tyson would be dead."

Borzi connected Manouch to an emergency vet through video call in 2 minutes. The vet told him exactly what to do while he drove to the animal hospital.

Tyson spent 3 days at the hospital getting treatment. It was expensive and scary. But Tyson survived.

Manouch sent me a photo of Tyson sleeping on his lap. He wrote: "This cat is only alive because your app told me to go to the vet at 11 PM. The $29 video call saved me a $2,000 ER visit and, more importantly, it saved Tyson's life."

Every time I see cats sitting near lilies in people's photos, I feel scared. So many people don't know. This is why we need AI to help us - because we can't know everything about our pets' health.

Bella's Weight Problem: "I Thought She Was Just Fluffy"

Michelle from Birmingham has a British Shorthair named Bella. Bella has that classic chunky British Shorthair body.

Michelle told me: "Everyone said Bella is a 'chonky' cat. We laughed about it. We thought it was cute."

But Borzi's AI was tracking Bella's body shape every week. After 2 months, Michelle got an alert:

"Bella has gained 18% body weight in the past 8 weeks. This rate of weight gain increases diabetes risk significantly. Please adjust food portions."

Michelle was surprised. "I didn't notice because I see her every day. The change was so slow - just a few grams each week."

She took Bella to the vet. The vet confirmed Bella was becoming obese. Her blood sugar was already higher than normal - pre-diabetes.

They made a plan: less food, more playtime, special diet.

6 months later, Bella lost the extra weight. Her blood sugar is normal now. She avoided diabetes completely.

Michelle wrote to me: "Do you know what diabetes means for a cat? Insulin injections twice a day. Every single day. For the rest of her life. Can you imagine?"

"The AI caught this problem when Bella was 'just a little chunky.' Before it became serious. That's amazing."

Milo's Eyes: When the Vet Missed It

This story shows why AI is so important - even when you go to the vet regularly.

Azhman from Edinburgh takes her cat Milo to the vet every year. She's a responsible cat owner. She does everything right.

During Milo's yearly checkup, the vet said: "Milo looks healthy! Good weight, nice teeth, everything is fine."

But Azhman was also using Borzi. The AI had noticed something over the past few months: Milo's eyes were getting slightly cloudy. Very slightly - impossible to see without comparing photos over time.

Borzi suggested: "Eye clarity has decreased 12% over 4 months. This can indicate kidney function changes. Consider asking your vet for blood work."

Azhman was nervous. The vet just said Milo was fine! But she asked for extra blood tests anyway.

The vet called two days later: "I'm so sorry, but Milo's kidney numbers are elevated. It's early chronic kidney disease. I didn't catch it during the physical exam because there were no obvious symptoms yet."

Azhman told me: "I was angry at first. Why didn't the vet see it? But then I understood - cats hide illness so well. Even vets can miss early signs without blood tests."

"The AI saw what the vet couldn't see during a normal checkup. It compared photos over months. It noticed tiny changes. It saved Milo's life."

Now Milo is on treatment. He's doing well. Azhman says she has maybe 2-3 extra years with him because they caught it early.

Why Does This Work?

I get asked this question a lot: "How can an app find problems that humans can't see?"

Here's the truth: Humans are not good at noticing slow changes.

When you see your cat every day, you don't notice small changes. It's like watching your child grow - you don't see it happening because it's so gradual.

But AI is different. AI compares photos from week 1 to week 2 to week 3 to week 4. It measures tiny differences:

• Is the eye 2% more cloudy?
• Is the fur 5% less shiny?
• Is the face 3% more swollen?

You can't see 2% or 3% differences. But AI can. And these small changes happen months before big symptoms appear.

This is why AI finds problems 4-6 months earlier than traditional methods.

I'm not saying AI replaces vets. Never! Vets are essential. You need vets.

But AI watches your cat every week. It never forgets. It never gets tired. It notices things that would take months for humans to see.

AI is like having a health assistant watching your cat 24/7. And when something seems wrong, it tells you: "Hey, maybe talk to your vet about this."

The Numbers That Make Me Proud

After helping thousands of cats, here's what we've learned:

94% accuracy in detecting health issues. That means when Borzi says "something might be wrong," it's almost always correct.

4-6 months earlier detection compared to waiting for symptoms. This is the difference between "we can treat this" and "it's too late."

Thousands of cats saved. Every single one of them matters to me.

I know some people think: "My cat is young and healthy. I don't need this."

But here's the thing - by the time you think you need it, it might be too late.

The cats in these stories all looked healthy. Marjan thought Kiki was fine. Michelle thought Bella was just "fluffy." Azhman's vet said Milo was perfect.

But they weren't fine. The disease was already there, hiding, growing, getting worse.

AI found it early. And that made all the difference.
