Gaining Momentum

Health Study Club GmbH is a verifiable German entity developing MDR-compliant (Class IIa) digital health applications like 'tilencio' (tinnitus) and 'beni' (pregnancy stress). The project possesses high intrinsic real-world utility and regulatory validation (ISO 13485). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and unrealistic audience reach ('everyone'). While the existence of certified medical products salvages the score from the bottom tier, the lack of verifiable user data and the unprofessional nature of the submission necessitate a significant penalty on traction and confidence metrics.
