Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

DHC (Digital Health Companion GmbH) is a verified German health-tech startup founded in 2021 by physicians, focusing on rare diseases (SMA, Duchenne) with products like 'Carisma' and 'One4'. The project has validated partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies (Roche, Biogen, Novartis) and a development team in Georgia. However, the submission itself contained significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as audience, 'most people' as traction, and using a pseudonym), which heavily penalized the response quality and reach metrics. The score reflects high real-world utility and verified B2B traction, balanced against the low quality of the submission and niche user base.
