Anestronic is a legitimate, high-potential medtech project spinning out of the Tyndall National Institute (Ireland), having won 'First Runner-Up' at IDEATE Ireland 2025. The technology (sensor-enhanced needles for regional anaesthesia) addresses a critical clinical problem with high innovation. However, the project submission itself is of very poor quality, containing clearly false or placeholder claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') which severely contradict the pre-commercial reality of a medical device. The score reflects the strong underlying technology and institutional backing, heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable user traction and the inaccurate submission data.
