cardiovascular risk screening evaluation study in Ireland.
Initial screening to include 250 patients, in collaboration with
the innovation Value Institute and Maynooth University College,
Kildare;
- Adopted in commercial, clinical use with focus on preventative
screening and diagnostics by Naya Imaging Center in Hvidore,
Denmark;
- Expanded intellectual property portfolio, bringing total
patents to 41 (nine U.S., 32 internationally); and
- Completed patient enrollment for the MyoVista® multi-center
pivotal study; targeting FDA submission in late 2023.
Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of
HeartSciences, said, “We welcomed our fiscal year 2024 with key
advancements on our objective to become the technology of choice in
frontline healthcare settings to help physicians screen and
diagnose at risk patients earlier, with MyoVista® used in
commercial, clinical practice settings for preventative care, as
well as in clinical studies evaluating for cardiovascular risk
screening.” Mr. Simpson added, “Despite the significant
limitations for conventional ECG, we estimate the global diagnostic
ECG market at $10 billion. By bringing new clinical
capabilities to the ECG, we believe HeartSciences is at the
forefront as we integrate AI technology to make the ECG a more
valuable tool for heart disease screening and detection,
potentially increasing the addressable market manyfold. We
are targeting FDA submission of MyoVista® in late 2023 and are
focused on increasing market awareness of our technology.”
There were no revenues for the first quarter of
fiscal year 2024. As of July 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents

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.
