Category Standard

Mint Medical is a verified, high-value MedTech company acquired by Brainlab (2021) and integrated into Snke OS. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility in oncology and radiology through its 'mint Lesion' software. However, the submission itself is of poor quality, containing objectively false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying technology and business traction are elite (scoring in the 600+ range for established companies), the score is penalized due to the unreliable and lazy data entry in the submission form.

Description
Mint Medical abides by the tenet of no data being left behind on the image Mint Medical is a global MedTech company specialized in software solutions for structured reporting and data-driven radiology and one of the key enablers of personalized medicine. Since 2010, Mint Medical has been developing and marketing mint Lesion, the technologically leading software solution for a standardized and computer-assisted review of imaging and clinical data according to defined protocols, guidelines, and workflows in the context of research and clinical routine. Right from the start, we were motivated by the idea that image reading and reporting software should be more than just a digital replacement for a lightbox, ruler, dictation device, and forms. Operating in an interactive and dynamic dialogue with the user, mint Lesion provides an assisted data capture through context-knowledge in easy-to-use software. Our vision is to present users with all the information that is important in the context of their particular work task in the best possible way, with the software taking on the role of a cognitive assistant that knows and promptly provides everything relevant. By evaluating context-specific parameters, its artificial intelligence (AI) operationalizes information meaningfully and dynamically generates ideal reading workflows. Mint Medical became a wholly owned subsidiary of Brainlab in March 2021. Since June 2025, Mint Medical has been part of Snke. The company continues to operate from its offices in Heidelberg, Germany, and Hamilton, NJ, USA.
