Tik Bit

Insight: Tick paralysis is one of the most common preventable causes of death in dogs and cats in Australia.

Idea: Help pet owners detect a tick early and locate it faster.

How it works: The Tik Bit is a tick detection device that can be fastened to our pets collar or harness. It measures our pet’s heart rate, breathing and vocal patterns. When irregularities are detected, a warning light flashes to indicate our pet may have the paralysis toxin in their bloodstream. 

The Tik Bit detection device is linked to the Tik Bit app which will alert the owner. The pet owner can then use the tick radar infrared scanner to detect the location of the tick.
