Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Noxware is a legitimate Toronto-based MedTech startup (founded 2020) developing smart mattress covers to prevent pressure injuries, backed by partnerships with UHN and the Kite Research Institute. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and incorrect financial terminology ('revenue: marketcap'). The score reflects the high potential and technical validity of the underlying medical device, severely penalized by the submission's lack of credible data and hyperbolic assertions.
