Where artificial intelligence meets the genius of nature

Product

We believe the future for pest and disease control lies in scent… and an insect’s antenna.

At Arctech Innovation, a spin-out from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), we’re harnessing insect intelligence to better detect threats, including pests and diseases, and to protect the health of our future world.

According to the World Health Organization, the next pandemic is likely to be insect-borne.

Climate change is driving the rapid spread of mosquitoes and other pests globally, putting 80% of the world's population at risk of vector-borne disease. 

 

We are taking action to improve lives.

Discover how we’re interrogating scent data to predict, prevent and manage the spread of pests and diseases in entirely new ways.

Our Semeion iQ® discovery platform

Our Semeion iQ® discovery platform fuses artificial intelligence, insect olfaction and analytical chemistry to discover odour biomarkers, which enable precision detection of pests and deadly diseases.

We translate these odour signatures into platform product technologies – using sensors and AI-powered algorithms – to create our novel sustainable pest control and disease diagnostic devices.

Our insect-inspired product portfolio

Arctech Innovation logo

Every living organism, from humans to insects to bacteria, produces a distinct odour; our products exploit this to detect threats, including pests and diseases.  

At the heart of our products lies cutting-edge sensor technology, powered by intelligent insect-inspired algorithms and using the odour biomarkers identified via Semeion iQ®.

The technology is scalable and adaptable to countless targets and threats, with applications across pest and vector control, human health, animal health, agriculture and biosecurity.
