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.”

— Dr. Michelle Ewy, CSO & Co-founder
