Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Happitech demonstrates high real-world utility as a CE-certified Class IIa medical device (SaMD) capable of detecting Atrial Fibrillation via smartphone cameras. External verification confirms significant traction, including integration into over 50% of Dutch cardiology hospitals and partnerships with major platforms like Luscii and Huma. While the technical innovation and market timing are excellent, the submission quality itself was poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and vague financial data, which lowered the overall score despite the project's strong fundamentals.
