JawSense is a legitimate, government-funded (Innovate UK, ~Ā£1M) health-tech project developing a biofeedback headband for bruxism in partnership with Nottingham Trent University. However, the submission score is heavily penalized due to false claims in the input data (claiming 'most people have used my product' while the device is in pre-launch until 2026) and inaccurate terminology ('marketcap' used for revenue/valuation). While the technology and clinical backing are promising, the project currently has zero market reach and the submission quality was extremely poor.
