Medical Detection Dogs

Early Alert Canines Partners with California Department of Public Health on Innovative COVID-19 Detection Program

Early Alert Canines is proud to partner with the California Department of Public Health on a pioneering pilot program dedicated to training and deploying COVID-19 Medical Detection Dogs.

The objective of this program is to showcase the ability of these dogs to detect potential COVID-19 infections with accuracy comparable to or surpassing that of lab-based rapid tests, thus alleviating some of the pressure on testing systems. COVID-19 Medical Detection Dogs serve as an effective screening tool, enabling the testing of significantly more individuals within the same timeframe compared to laboratory tests.

As the program progresses, we are excited to advance to the next phase and further explore the potential of these Medical Detection Dogs in combating infectious diseases and safeguarding our communities.

This independently funded initiative is currently focused on supporting vulnerable populations, such as skilled nursing facilities and individuals with disabilities. The program offers valuable surveillance and outbreak response services at no cost to participating facilities.
