Cignpost ExpressTest adds AI technology for instant results

COVID testing specialist Cignpost ExpressTest has introduced AI technology to process results from its remote lateral flow tests, allowing travellers to receive officially verified Fit to Fly certificates almost instantly.

With around 80 countries across the world still requiring some form of testing for fully vaccinated arrivals, and many more demanding tests from travellers who are not fully vaccinated, adding AI allows ExpressTest to quickly process an almost limitless number of lateral flow test results. 

Customers simply photograph their lateral flow test result and submit the image through a form on the ExpressTest website. The AI system confirms the result and immediately issues a digital copy of the official Fit to Fly certificate. 

Nick Markham, co-founder at Cignpost ExpressTest says:

"Although the UK has dropped tests for fully vaccinated arrivals, many countries across the world still have testing requirements for both fully vaccinated and non-vaccinated travellers. 

"Using AI technology will give travellers an official confirmation of their lateral flow test result within seconds, making their travel plans that little bit easier."

ExpressTest is the UK’s largest and most-trusted Covid test provider1, with a wide range of at-home testing kits, more than 40 testing centres at city centre locations and airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Edinburgh, and an ‘excellent’ rating from 100,000 customer reviews on Trustpilot.
