Sound-damping drywall screws?

Not so sure about this one yet... not enough data to go on, but it looks like it might do something.... maybe (with a heavy dose of "maybe"!):
https://www.akoustos.se/
A drywall screw with a built-in spring, that supposedly provides some measure of vibration damping.... (perhaps)
I'd like to see some real data on it, from independent testing. In the link, there's part of a graph of some type that sort of shows something, but is unlabeled and incomplete, and also appears to show a wall resonance at 125 Hz., with decreased isolation... but there's no indication of how that wall was even built! (or who did the testing, in which lab.... or what was tested... They mention several labs, but provide no reports from any of them...)
Pity. There might be something useful there.. or maybe not!
Hmmmm.....
It's not even a product yet: they are looking for a manufacturer, and/or financing.
Paint me a very skeptical-but-hopeful shade of "wait-and-see"...
