The screening process

screenme.science provides a structured process for verifying at-home antigen self-tests and documenting each screening in three steps. Coordinators set up the programme, participants perform the test on their own phone, and the dashboard shows the screening status of each participant.

Step 1: Invitation

The coordinator creates an account, adds participants by email or link, and selects the accepted test types: any nasal swab rapid test, for example influenza, RSV, COVID-19 or combination kits. Participants do not need to install anything; screenme.science runs in the phone's browser in thirteen languages.

Step 2: Screening

Each participant takes a standard antigen self-test at home in front of their phone camera. screenme.science guides them through the test and checks the required steps, and the screening is tied to the invited participant. The participant sees their result.

Step 3: Status overview

Coordinators see the status of every invited participant in one dashboard: verified, pending, or not yet screened. Each verified screening generates a timestamped record that can be retrieved for subsequent review or auditing.

Participant requirements

Participants need a smartphone with a camera, a standard antigen self-test kit and approximately twenty minutes. No app needs to be installed, and no account is required beyond the invitation.

Coordinator functions and records

Coordinators have an overview of participant screening status, and tests are purchased in packs with one payment each. The process does not require live supervision or a dedicated testing room. Screening records are available digitally.

What screenme.science does not do

It does not diagnose or treat. It verifies that the self-test was taken by the person who holds the account, that a new, unused cassette was used, and that the screening followed the kit's instructions. Positive results should be handled according to your local health guidance.
