HeartSciences Expands its Scientific Advisory Board
February 12 2024 - 9:00AM
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences
(Nasdaq: HSCS; HSCSW) ("HeartSciences" or the "Company"),
an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered medical technology company
focused on transforming ECGs/EKGs to save lives through earlier
detection of heart disease, today announced the appointment of
Jordan B. Strom M.D., M.Sc., to its Scientific Advisory Board.
“Dr. Strom has been assisting us in recent
interactions with the FDA and we are delighted to welcome him to
our Scientific Advisory Board as we prepare for FDA submission of
our MyoVista device and cloud platform, in addition to algorithms
licensed from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New
York. Dr. Strom has expertise in AI-based medical devices and is a
consultant to GE Healthcare, Phillips Healthcare, and Edwards Life
Sciences. He is a leading cardiologist specializing in
echocardiology, has over 90 published papers, and has served in
several leadership positions for the American Society of
Echocardiography,” said Andrew Simpson, CEO of HeartSciences. “As
we actively expand our Scientific Advisory Board to broaden our
outreach in preparedness for AI-ECG transforming the early
detection of heart disease, we are excited to partner with and
prosper from Dr. Strom’s expertise.”
Dr. Jordan Strom is Director of the
Echocardiography Laboratory and Director of Echocardiographic
Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston,
Massachusetts; Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical
School, and Section Head for Cardiovascular Imaging Research at the
Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in
Cardiology. His research, which has been funded by the
National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association,
involves evaluation of the relationship of cardiac structure and
function to health outcomes, and the optimal use and timing of
cardiac imaging in practice. He has published more than 90
papers in peer-reviewed journals and is a member of the editorial
board and guest editor for the Journal of the American Society of
Echocardiography. He additionally served as the inaugural
American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) leadership academy
member elected to the Board of Directors of the ASE, making him the
youngest individual to serve in this role, and the American College
of Cardiology Imaging Council Leadership Committee. He is a
member of the Board of Directors of the International Contrast
Ultrasound Society, and is the current American College of
Cardiology (ACC) representative to the Board of Directors of the
Joint Review Committee on Education in Diagnostic Medical
Sonography, which accredits sonography training programs in the
United States, as well as ACC Commissioner to the Commission on
Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, the largest
programmatic accreditor of the health sciences professions,
recognizing over 2,100 education programs in 32 health sciences
occupations.
Jordan B. Strom, M.D., M.Sc., said, “Millions of
ECGs are performed every month and applying artificial intelligence
and machine learning to the ECG offers the exciting prospect of
significantly expanding the clinical capabilities of an ECG to
detect a greater range of heart diseases. By detecting heart
disease earlier in the disease process, we can hopefully save lives
and reduce overall costs to the healthcare system. HeartSciences is
an innovator in this field, and I look forward to helping them
unleash the potential power of AI-powered ECGs to help clinicians
deliver timely and optimal care.
