Vectech Overview
Vectech is a Johns Hopkins University spin-out equipping professionals with the capabilities of a medical entomologist using AI and computer vision technology. Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals in the world, killing over half a million people each year. Lyme disease, spread by ticks, is now the most common vector-borne disease in the United States.
There are thousands of different species of disease-carrying insects, which have different behaviors that call for different control measures. Vectech built IDX, an IoT imaging system, the world’s first AI vector identification system, with elements of a smart microscope, to assist vector control organizations with imaging, identifying, and reviewing vector surveillance data, so organizations can take action and improve their impact.
With Vectech's products, pest control organizations in public health can quickly generate the information they need to make public health decisions.
