LiceCycle Family Protocol
A mobile-first workflow app that turns lice eradication into a timed, checklisted household protocol with reminders, shared task assignment, and reinfestation source tracking. It helps families coordinate treatment cycles (day 0, day 7–10, ongoing checks), reduce missed steps, and optionally coordinate anonymous class-level alerts to reduce reinfection loops.

LiceCycle Family Protocol
A mobile-first workflow app that turns lice eradication into a timed, checklisted household protocol with reminders, shared task assignment, and reinfestation source tracking. It helps families coordinate treatment cycles (day 0, day 7–10, ongoing checks), reduce missed steps, and optionally coordinate anonymous class-level alerts to reduce reinfection loops.
Target customer
Parents of elementary-age children dealing with repeated lice outbreaks; secondarily, school nurses/administrators who manage recurring lice notifications and prevention guidance.
Problem-solution fit
Families are already doing many steps but still failing to break the cycle, implying missed timing, inconsistent execution across caregivers, or ongoing reinfection from external contacts. A structured protocol tool with calendar-driven tasks, evidence logging, and school/community coordination reduces errors, increases adherence, and helps identify likely reinfection patterns without relying on medical claims.
