Verified self-testing for study participants

ScreenMe gives researchers verified at-home antigen test results from study participants, with identity confirmation and timestamps, so a decentralised study does not have to choose between site visits and unverifiable self-reports.

The self-report problem

Citizen-science and surveillance studies that ship self-test kits to participants depend on honest, accurate reporting. Adherence to the protocol is unknown, misreads go undetected, and the person tested may not be the enrolled participant.

How it works in a study

Participants are enrolled with consent. They test at home on camera at the intervals the protocol sets; ScreenMe verifies the procedure and the participant's identity and records the result with date and time. The study team sees adherence and results per participant and exports the dataset.

Typical designs

Respiratory-virus surveillance cohorts. Household transmission studies. Vaccine and intervention studies with at-home endpoints. Workplace and school studies during a season.

Ethics and data

Participants control sharing and can withdraw. Data is encrypted, hosted in the EU and processed under a data processing agreement; pseudonymised export is available. ScreenMe supports the documentation ethics committees ask for.

Pricing

Pay per completed screening, budgeted per participant and interval.
