Engineer turned pet-tech founder, on a mission to help humans finally understand what their dogs are telling them.
As head of Companion, an AI-driven pet care company, John Honchariw’s mission centers on using AI and machine learning to deepen understanding of pets, leveraging advanced cameras and intelligent software to process behavioral signals and movement data that are often invisible to the human eye.
Honchariw’s technology can detect health problems before owners even notice. Skeletal analysis can reveal potential pain or the onset of osteoarthritis, and candid footage can capture slow-moving changes in patterns that vets can use to diagnose conditions earlier.
Companion is designed to enhance — not replace — veterinary judgment, giving clinicians new tools to make faster, better-informed decisions.
