TickTracker BeBopLabs

BeBopLabs TICKTRACKER — Citizen Science, Professional Results. Every year, nearly half a million Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease. Countless more are infected by co-infections like Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever — diseases that go undetected, misdiagnosed, and unreported because the data simply doesn't exist at the community level. TickTracker MASTER is here to change that. Developed by GDG LLC and exclusively licensed to BeBopLabs — New Hampshire's only nonprofit dedicated to tick and tick-borne disease surveillance — TickTracker MASTER puts professional-grade biosurveillance tools directly in the hands of everyday people: hikers, hunters, farmers, families, pet owners, and public health workers. WHY THIS MATTERS NOW The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) has identified vector-borne disease surveillance as a critical gap in America's public health infrastructure. Ticks are expanding their range northward every year as climate patterns shift — and without real-time, geolocated, community-sourced data, public health agencies are flying blind. TickTracker MASTER is exactly what HHS, the CDC, and state health departments have been calling for: a scalable, low-cost, citizen-science platform that generates structured, GPS-tagged, species-identified tick encounter data — in real time, from across the country. WHAT THE APP DOES PHOTOGRAPH & IDENTIFY — AI-powered species identification from a single photo. AUTO-CAPTURE — GPS, date, time, and weather logged automatically on every report. MAIL-IN LAB TESTING — Ship your tick for professional disease screening: • Basic ($49) — Lyme disease • Standard ($89) — Lyme + 5 co-infections • Comprehensive ($149) — Full 12-pathogen panel REPORT HISTORY — Stored locally and synced to the BeBopLabs national research database. LIVE MAP — Real-time tick activity and infection rates at beboplabs.org. THE TECHNOLOGY TickTracker MASTER was architected by Sir Michael L. Bouchard, Founder of GDG LLC and a globally recognized Infrastructure Technologist. Sir Michael has been formally Knighted in recognition of his contributions to advancements in DOD secured communications and jamming technologies — bringing that same commitment to data integrity, privacy, and resilient infrastructure to every layer of this platform. The result is a biosurveillance system built to the standards of critical national infrastructure, not a consumer hobby app. THE SCIENCE BeBopLabs was founded by Dr. Kaitlyn Morse, a PhD immunologist whose doctoral thesis produced a working vaccine for Anaplasmosis — the world's most prevalent tick-borne disease. She later worked at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School's Infectious Disease Division developing laser-based vaccine adjuvant technology. BeBopLabs is the only organization in New Hampshire systematically tracking ticks and tick-borne diseases at the intersection of prevention, surveillance, and diagnosis. PROTECTING MORE THAN PEOPLE Exclusively licensed to BeBopLabs for human, canine, and household pet tick surveillance — because ticks don't discriminate, and neither should your tools. SUPPORT THE MISSION BeBopLabs is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. A portion of every lab testing purchase supports ongoing field research, public education, and tick surveillance in underserved communities across the United States. Together, we're building the dataset America needs.
