Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Eli Health is a legitimate, high-potential startup (Series A, ~$20M confirmed funding) developing the 'Hormometer', a saliva-based hormone monitoring device. Although the submission itself contained exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and poor data quality, external verification confirms exceptional technical innovation (CES 2025 Best of Innovation award), strong investor traction, and high real-world utility in the FemTech sector. The score reflects the project's 'Small but promising' stage (pre-mass scale user adoption) and penalizes the low-quality submission response.
