A problem this complex requires more than one solution.
Lyme disease sits at the intersection of ecology, medicine, data science, and public health. We are building infrastructure – and we are looking for partners who share that ambition.
Self Diagnostics International is developing the first field-deployable tick testing system with integrated exposure data. We are at an early stage – and that is precisely when partnerships matter most. We are open to structural collaboration with organizations whose goals align with earlier, better Lyme risk detection.
Scientific and Public Health Institutions
Tick-borne disease surveillance depends on data that is currently fragmented, delayed, and geographically coarse. Our system generates time-stamped, geolocated, species-resolved exposure data at scale – a resource that does not yet exist in this form.
What we offer: Access to anonymized field datasets for research purposes. Co-development of study designs around our testing infrastructure. Publication partnerships and shared authorship where applicable.
Relevant for: Universities, public health agencies, epidemiological research groups, vector surveillance programs.
Patient & Advocacy Organizations
Lyme patients and their advocates have long called for earlier, more accessible risk assessment. We are building exactly that – and we want to build it in dialogue with the people most affected.
What we offer: Early access to our system for member communities. Input into product development and communication. Shared data insights relevant to your advocacy work.
Relevant for: Lyme disease patient organizations, chronic illness advocacy groups, preventive health networks.
Distribution & Commercial Partners
Our device is designed for scale – but reaching the right end users requires the right channels. We are actively seeking distribution partners in occupational health, outdoor retail, pharmacy, and workplace safety sectors.
What we offer: Revenue share arrangements for qualified distribution partners. Co-branding options for organizational deployments. Priority access and early mover positioning in a market that does not yet exist.
Relevant for: Occupational health providers, outdoor equipment retailers, pharmacy chains, HSE service providers.
Why now?
We are in the market validation phase. Partners who engage now will help shape the product, the data architecture, and the go-to-market approach. This is not a vendor relationship – it is a founding collaboration.
