Gaining Momentum

IMcoMET is a legitimate Dutch MedTech startup developing the innovative 'M-Duo Technology' for microneedle-based interstitial fluid sampling. The project has high potential utility in personalized medicine and has secured research awards (e.g., Erasmus Enterprise Next Frontier) and university partnerships. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product and reach is 'everyone') and vague data. The score reflects the strong underlying technology and market relevance, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the application and the early-stage reality of the traction.

Description
IMcoMET is a MedTech startup. We have developed a technology - called the M-Duo Technology® - that allows access and control of fluid around cells, called interstitial fluid. This fluid contains many biomarkers that provide detailed information about both the local tissue condition and general health status of an individual. We are integrating our M-Duo Technology® into a set of tools to improve skin cancer diagnostics and skin cancer research to drive personalized medicine and biomedical research forward. Both with the ultimate goal to improve therapy outcomes for skin cancer patients.
