How to Use LymeID

Step-by-step guide on using LymeID for Lyme disease detection and understanding the credit system.

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.

The LymeID Process

Our evaluation process consists of five main steps, each designed to provide comprehensive analysis:

Step 1: Complete the Questionnaire

You'll answer 4 key questions that help our AI understand your situation better:

  • Tick Exposure: Have you been bitten by a tick or found a tick on your body?
  • Recent Activities: Have you spent time outdoors in wooded or grassy areas?
  • Symptoms: Are you experiencing headache, fever, or fatigue?
  • Rash Characteristics: Is the rash expanding or growing in size?

Time: 2-3 minutes

Step 2: Upload Your Image

Take and upload a clear photo of the area of concern:

  • Ensure good lighting - natural light works best
