HeartSciences Provides Business Update and Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results
March 16 2023 - 4:15PM
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a
HeartSciences (Nasdaq: HSCS; HSCSW) (“HeartSciences” or the
“Company”), a medical technology company focused on saving
lives by making an ECG (also known as an EKG) a more valuable
screening tool through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI),
today provided a business update and reported financial results for
the fiscal 2023 third quarter ended January 31, 2023.
Key Milestones during Fiscal Q3 2023 and to date:
- Engaged in multi-year collaboration with Rutgers University to
develop AI-based ECG algorithms
- Further international patents granted, bringing total patent
portfolio to 40 (nine U.S., 31 internationally)
- Balance sheet strengthened through the amendment and exercise
of pre-IPO bridge warrants, $15 million equity facility and
extension of the maturity dates on investor loans
- Appointed microcap veteran David R. Wells to Board of
Directors
Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of HeartSciences,
stated, “We continue to diligently work towards commercialization
of the MyoVista®, with a key focus on our resubmission for FDA De
Novo clearance. The enrollment for our pivotal validation
study is progressing and device testing is underway. In addition,
as previously reported, we have also enrolled additional enrichment
study patients to provide extra data and we continue to carefully
manage our cash as we progress towards our goal of FDA De Novo
resubmission in the current calendar year, assuming positive
results.”
“We believe HeartSciences’ is at the leading edge of bringing
new clinical capabilities to the ECG. The problem we’re seeking to
solve is well known. Millions of people with heart disease remain
undiagnosed until some sort of event that could have been
preventable through early detection. That’s why our MyoVista®
device is designed to significantly increase the clinical value of
the ECG by detecting cardiac dysfunction at an early stage. Our
objective is to become a fixture in front-line healthcare settings
to help physicians make better and earlier referral decisions for
at risk patients.”
The Company submitted its Form 10-Q to the SEC, which can be
found here or on the Company’s website. There were no
meaningful revenues for the third quarter of 2023. As of January
31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $1.9 million. The Company
continues to carefully manage its expenses and believes it has
sufficient capital to support operations through resubmission for
FDA De Novo clearance.
About HeartSciences
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences is a medical
technology company focused on applying innovative AI-based
technology to an ECG (also known as an EKG) to expand and improve
an ECG’s clinical usefulness. Millions of ECGs are performed every
week and the Company’s objective is to improve healthcare by making
an ECG a far more valuable cardiac screening tool, particularly in
frontline or point-of-care clinical settings. HeartSciences’ first
product candidate for FDA clearance, the MyoVista® wavECG, or the
MyoVista®, is a resting 12-lead ECG that is also designed to
provide diagnostic information related to cardiac dysfunction which
has traditionally only been available through the use of cardiac
imaging. The MyoVista® also provides conventional ECG information
in the same test. The business model, which involves the use of the
MyoVista® device and consumables for each test, is expected to be
“razor-razorblade” as the electrodes used with the MyoVista® are
proprietary to HeartSciences, and new electrodes are required for
every test performed. For more information, please
