Rapid Test Database Integration

The project aims to develop a comprehensive and searchable database that integrates international rapid test catalogue data with Health Canada's approval status. Rapidte.st, by Abundant.Science, seeks to enhance accessibility and affordability of rapid testing in Canada. The database will serve as a centralized resource for healthcare providers, policymakers, and consumers, offering up-to-date information on available rapid tests and their regulatory status. The project will involve data collection, integration, and the creation of a user-friendly search interface. By consolidating this information, the project supports informed decision-making and promotes the use of approved rapid tests in Canada. Matching considerations: Students should have experience with data analysis and basic web development Work can be completed remotely with flexible hours Clear milestones ensure steady progress and manageable workload Tasks are structured to build upon each other logically Project Scope and Expectations: Students will process medical device catalogues, cross-reference with regulatory databases, and develop web-based visualization tools. The scope includes data entry, validation, and creation of user-friendly interfaces for internal and external use. Benefits for Students: Real-world experience in healthcare data analysis Exposure to medical device regulatory frameworks Web development portfolio piece Understanding of health tech startup operations

Secure Lateral Flow Test Reader Development

The project aims to develop essential components of an open-source health platform for Rapidte.st by Abundant.Science. The platform's primary function is to accurately read lateral flow tests, securely store the results, and facilitate sovereign data sharing. The project will implement Signal Protocol for end-to-end encryption, ensuring that all data transactions are secure and private. Additionally, AI-powered algorithms will be integrated to enhance the accuracy and reliability of test readings. The project is designed to be completed within 60 hours over four weeks, allowing learners to apply their knowledge of encryption, AI, and software development. The goal is to create a robust, user-friendly system that can be easily integrated into existing health platforms, providing a secure and efficient solution for managing lateral flow test data. Project creation considerations: Students should have strong software development skills Experience with mobile development, encryption protocols, and AI/ML preferred Work can be completed remotely with regular team collaboration Tasks are modular but interconnected, requiring good communication Project Scope and Expectations: Students will develop a mobile-first application capable of capturing, analyzing, and securely storing rapid test results. The platform will implement the Signal Protocol for end-to-end encryption while maintaining HIPAA/PHIPA compliance and enable sovereign control over health data sharing. Benefits for Students: Hands-on experience with cutting-edge security protocols Real-world AI/ML implementation Exposure to healthcare compliance requirements Portfolio piece demonstrating full-stack development Open-source contribution experience

Healthcare Provider Onboarding Initiative

Rapidte.st, a division of Abundant.Science, aims to expand its network of healthcare providers offering rapid testing services. The project focuses on integrating 3-5 new healthcare providers, specifically pharmacists and naturopaths, onto the Rapidte.st platform. This initiative will allow learners to apply their business development skills in a real-world setting by engaging directly with potential providers. The project involves understanding the existing onboarding systems and processes, and effectively communicating the benefits of joining the platform to healthcare professionals. By successfully onboarding new providers, the project will enhance the platform's reach and service offerings, ultimately contributing to improved healthcare accessibility. Matching considerations: Students should be excellent communicators via phone/video Results-oriented and persistent Comfortable doing direct outreach Can work independently while following established processes Project Scope and Expectations: Students will find, contact, and successfully onboard healthcare providers to our platform using our remote toolset. This includes cold outreach, video calls, virtual training, and remote launch support. We provide the pitch deck, economic model, and systems - you provide the hustle and execution. Benefits for Students: Real remote sales experience Healthcare industry exposure Direct professional networking Measurable business impact
