HealthTech · South AfricaFull evidence record
VitruvianMD
VitruvianMD develops AI-assisted fertility and laboratory technology intended to improve IVF and sperm-analysis workflows.
Sandbox Africa checked the submitted evidence and promoted the verified checkpoint record. Any visible adjustment is identified rather than silently rewritten.
The official public tier and technical record below are the verified publication outcome.
Tier 1 — Functional MVP
Keep Tier 1. Real clinical testing/deployment evidence moves the product beyond concept stage, but regulated market readiness remains insufficiently verified for Tier 2.
Strongest supporting evidence
What worked: Public website; straightforward navigation; good observed performance; demo-request form. What failed / remained inaccessible: Self-service registration; public login; direct diagnostic-platform access; independent testing of AI-assisted diagnostics, digital microscopy and automated sperm-analysis workflows. Errors found: No material website error was supplied; the principal limitation was product accessibility rather than an observed failure of the underlying diagnostic technology. Access limitations: No public product environment; access dependent on email/contact and demo request.
Why the next tier is not yet supported
Why not one higher: Tier 2 would require stronger direct evidence of the actual diagnostic product through a controlled test or accessible demonstration environment.
Verified findings and limitations
Direct review observations
The intern could verify the company/product presentation but not independently operate the regulated clinical core workflow.
Independent verification
The current official site describes deployment for testing in multiple clinics and ongoing regulatory/commercial development. The site’s own CE-mark timing claim should not be treated as completed regulatory approval without separate confirmation.
Observed issues
Market and regulatory readiness are not independently established at the level required for a market-ready healthcare product classification.
Testing limitations
No live clinic workflow, diagnostic accuracy validation, regulatory certificate or customer production environment was independently reviewed.

These images formed part of the evidence pack considered during verification. Full-standard records retain the contributor's factual caption for each screenshot.
Seven checkpoint assessment
The verified result is the official public checkpoint record. For earlier-standard reviews, these findings may have been reconstructed from preserved evidence during Sandbox Africa’s 2026 audit; they are not presented as if the contributor originally completed a structured worksheet. Contributor-submitted checkpoint wording is shown only where explicit public reviewer attribution has been enabled.
Step 1 — The Existence & Accessibility Check
Is it live?
Checking for dead links, infinite loading screens, or "Coming Soon" landing pages masquerading as live products.
Sandbox verifiedpass
Functioning company website exists.
Onboarding friction
Can a user or enterprise actually sign up, or is it gated behind broken "Contact Sales" forms?
Sandbox verifiedpartial
No self-service registration; no direct login; no public product environment; company contact required; demo requires form submission; users must wait for assistance. Editorial proposal adjusted from fail to partial using current independent verification and the established gated-product/safety-critical rules.
Verification adjustmentStep 2 — Functional Testing (The "Try It Out" Phase)
Core loop execution
Does the application actually do what it claims to do? (e.g. a payment gateway completing a test transaction, a logistics app's routing engine working.)
