Direct-to-Consumer Channel Development for Rapid Testing Kits

Rapidte.st, a division of Abundant.Science, is seeking to enhance its direct-to-consumer distribution strategy for its rapid testing kits. The goal is to identify effective channels and methods to reach consumers directly, bypassing traditional retail intermediaries. This project will involve analyzing current market trends, consumer behavior, and competitor strategies to develop a comprehensive distribution plan. Learners will apply their knowledge of marketing principles, consumer analysis, and strategic planning to create a viable strategy that aligns with Rapidte.st's business objectives. Key tasks include conducting market research, identifying potential distribution partners, and proposing innovative solutions to increase market penetration. The project aims to provide a practical learning experience by bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications.

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
