screenme.science verifies COVID-19 antigen self-tests performed at home, providing the verification that supervised testing provided during the pandemic, without live supervision.
Background: testing verification during the pandemic
Across Europe, an unsupervised self-test was rarely accepted as proof: Germany required supervision for a valid certificate, France required a pharmacist, Ireland's health service accepted a photo, Italy's regions accepted a photo with a self-declaration. Each approach either required supervision or relied on the person's own report. screenme.science provides verification instead.
Compatible test kits
The service works with any CE-marked COVID-19 antigen self-test (nasal swab) and any combination kit that includes SARS-CoV-2.
Potential applications of COVID-19 screening
Potential applications include return to work after illness, events with vulnerable guests, care settings and healthcare programmes, and travel and international events where a verified result is requested.
Information included in the screening record
The record states that the test was verified, that the procedure was followed and a new, unused cassette was used, the date and time, and that the screening is tied to the invited participant.
Frequently asked questions
Is the certificate an official COVID certificate?
No. It is screenme.science's verified record; acceptance by third parties depends on their rules.
Do the kits still work with current variants?
Antigen self-tests on the market are updated by manufacturers; follow the kit's instructions.
Can we screen for COVID-19 and flu at once?
Yes, with combination kits.
