+605
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Folia Health is a verified Series A HealthTech company (raised ~$17M, including $10.5M in late 2025) with high real-world utility for chronic disease patients. While the user submission contained hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), external verification confirms ~40,000 active users, ~$2M+ annual revenue, and significant partnerships (e.g., Novartis). The project scores highly on utility, traction, and timing due to the growing demand for Real-World Evidence (RWE), though the submission quality was extremely poor.
