Sterisafe is a legitimate established health-tech company (Sterisafe ApS) with patented 'Full-Depth Disinfection Cycle' technology used in hospitals. External verification confirms significant traction (~$6.6M funding, hospital deployments, scientific validation) which contradicts the low-quality, hyperbolic submission ('most people have used my product'). The project has high utility and innovation, but the submission's poor quality and lack of verifiable data provided by the user incurred significant penalties. The score reflects a solid B2B MedTech venture weighed down by a negligent submission.

Description
As the challenge of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) is growing all over the world, there is an urgent need to upgrade technologies used to disinfect rooms. 37.000 people are dying every year in Europe due to infections caught within the hospital walls. How come we still disinfect our hospital rooms manually, the same way it has been done for decades? STERISAFE ApS is a health-tech company with the ambition to lead the revolution in upgrading the environmental hygiene methods in the healthcare segment, as well as in other industries. With a strong background in science and engineering, the STERISAFE team brought together the latest findings and innovations in atmospheric chemistry, plasma technology, sensors technology and IoT to develop a superior and unique disinfection solution. Located on the campus of the University of Copenhagen and in the heart of Copenhagen Science City since 2014, STERISAFE ApS developed a unique and patented technology to perform effective, safe and rapid automated room disinfection. It self-generates its biocidal gas, consumes only water and electricity, removes all residues and particles during the last phase of the treatment and finally monitors and documents the whole process to guarantee safety and efficacy.
