Our Mission

Improve access to healthcare through innovative home testing options.

Healthcare should not depend on timing, access, or chance. LymeAlert exists to make early detection accessible so you can act sooner, with clarity and confidence.

Building beyond a single test.

LymeAlert is building a broader platform for early detection, intelligence, and response to vector-borne disease. By combining testing, data, and mapping, the goal is to help identify risk earlier and support faster responses wherever exposure occurs.

Our approach

Built on science, designed for early detection.

LymeAlert is built using lab-based detection principles to detect the pathogen that can cause Lyme disease in ticks. By focusing on early-stage exposure and testing the tick, it provides answers in minutes instead of days, helping people make faster, more informed decisions.

“Early detection only works if it’s accurate,
accessible, and easy to use.”
