Getting Started with LymeID
LymeID is an AI-powered platform designed to help you assess potential Lyme disease
indicators through image analysis and symptom evaluation. This guide will walk you through
the entire process, from start to finish.
Before You Begin
Make sure you have a clear, well-lit photo of the area of concern. Good image quality is
essential for accurate AI analysis. You'll also need to answer a few questions about your
symptoms and recent activities.

body?

areas?
