HygNova is a legitimate German med-tech startup (founded ~2017) addressing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) via sensor-based monitoring without wearables. While the core technology and problem-solution fit are strong, the submission is of extremely poor quality. It contains hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and confusing financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000'). External verification confirms the project exists and has pilot traction, but the submission's lack of professionalism and verifiable data severely impacts the score.
