Management to Host Webcast and Conference Call Today At 4:30 p.m. ET

HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a cardiac technology company that has developed the first and only credit card-size 3D-vector electrocardiogram (VECG) platform for patient use at home, allowing for the creation of rich data for AI, has reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter and Subsequent 2023 Operational Highlights

  • Closed a secondary offering of $25.0 million and Registered Direct Offering of $1.5 million in May 2023 for gross proceeds totaling $26.5 million to enable the Company to execute on upcoming clinical and regulatory milestones, and extend cash runway
  • Announced the publication, in Journal of American College of Cardiology: Advances, of a foundational study demonstrating the ability of HeartBeam’s VECG technology platform to detect the presence of coronary artery occlusions
  • Announced three additions to the Board of Directors:
    • Michael Jaff, DO, a renowned vascular physician and researcher bringing a wealth of clinical and industry experience
    • Ken Nelson, a 20-year digital health, medical device, and remote patient monitoring executive and innovator
    • Mark Strome, with over 40 years of experience in the investment management and securities industry
  • Appointed experienced biomedical engineer and cardiology regulatory professional, Deborah Castillo, PhD, as Vice President of Regulatory Affairs
  • Announced the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted an automated cardiac detection patent for the HeartBeam AIMIGo System, underscoring the company’s Intellectual Property leadership position in the field of VECG
  • Submitted a 510(k) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Version 1 of its HeartBeam AIMIGo™ System

Management Commentary

“The second quarter of 2023 was highlighted by continued progress and validation of our technologies, the publication of our first, and foundational, study demonstrating the ability of our VECG platform, and several key additions to the team,” said Branislav Vajdic, PhD, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of HeartBeam. “Our strategic focus is to enable timely delivery of our ambulatory VECG products, which are our key future value drivers.

“We recently announced the publication in a top-rated journal of the first peer-reviewed study based on our novel VECG technology. This is excellent validation of the technology. The study demonstrates the potential for an easy-to-use patient-held device to be employed in the detection of heart attacks at home. By combining the novel VECG approach with a system that incorporates a patient’s baseline signal, our technology was shown to detect coronary occlusions with an accuracy similar or better to that of cardiologists evaluating a 12-lead electrocardiogram (12L ECG).

“We significantly strengthened our Board with the appointment of respected industry executives Michael Jaff, DO, Ken Nelson and Mark Strome, bringing the number of HeartBeam board members to eight. Michael is Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Clinical Affairs, Technology and Innovation of the Peripheral Interventions division at Boston Scientific Corporation, bringing an extraordinary level of expertise to the board. Over the past 10 years, Ken has led commercial efforts for disruptive technologies in the digital health, wearables, and cardiac remote patient monitoring industries for three of the top four market share players in cardiac digital health and remote patient monitoring. Mark is an experienced investor and business executive who will help us expand the breadth and depth of our reach as a Company, positioning us to create additional value for our shareholders. We further strengthened our organization with the recent appointment of Deborah Castillo, PhD, as Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. Deborah is an experienced biomedical engineer with over a decade of professional experience as a cardiac regulatory specialist in strategy, submissions, and regulatory review and we are very pleased to welcome her to our team.

“We recently closed $26.5 million in common stock-only financings to fund operations into late 2024. Proceeds are being used to fund development and regulatory work for the HeartBeam AIMIGo VECG device and to ready the product for limited market release during the second half of 2024. The product and regulatory efforts include first obtaining an FDA 510(k) clearance for the HeartBeam AIMIGo VECG device. We submitted this application to the FDA in May. This will be followed by a second FDA application on the system’s ability to synthesize a 12L ECG.

“We look forward to providing updates on our progress in the months ahead,” concluded Dr. Vajdic.
