Management Commentary

“The second quarter of 2022 delivered steady advancement along our commercialization pathway, including HeartBeam AIMI™ product submission for FDA clearance in the very near future. We are also very pleased with the rapid progress in getting our core product, the AIMIGo™ containing 3D vector ECG collection device prepared for FDA submission in Q4 of this year,” said Branislav Vajdic, PhD, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of HeartBeam. “We continue to have strong conviction in our HeartBeam AIMI software platform technology and AIMIGo, our end-to-end telemedicine solution, and their potential to offer more accurate heart attack detection to expedite treatment.

“We were pleased by the progress our team has made over the past quarter, highlighted by our decision to expand the addressable patient population for our HeartBeam AIMI platform technology by including unstable angina as a diagnosis for analysis. In evaluating the ECG database for the clinical validation of our platform technology, we discovered a significant portion of consecutive patients fell into the category of unstable angina, a serious cardiac condition. Patients with unstable angina may have subtle electrical changes brought on by ischemia without definitive injury to the cardiac tissue. The expanded scope of the clinical validation study will provide access to a broader patient population for our technology once cleared by the FDA. Due to this decision, we expect to file a 510K with the full data set for clinical validation on or about August 15, 2022, and it does not affect the timeline for 510K submission of AIMIGo. In addition, we recently acquired the source code access for the HeartBeam branded version of the FDA Registered LIVMOR Portal, which will help us meet our schedule for FDA submissions and development of our software solutions in-house, led by our new Chief Technology Officer and his team.”

Dr. Vajdic continued, “Looking ahead, our commercialization path is on track with our AIMIGo 3D vector ECG product expected to be ready for FDA submission in Q4 of this year, along with the 510K filing in the coming days for HeartBeam AIMI. We recently announced the appointment of Chief Technology Officer, Ken Persen, whose deep knowledge of cardiovascular technologies, combined with industry insights, will be hugely important for continued development and evolution of HeartBeam’s technology. Our commercial team has continued to engage in positive discussions with strategic institutions, including academic centers, regional healthcare systems, and regional community hospital systems. Finally, we remain confident in our anticipated upcoming product milestones and believe we have sufficient resources to advance our programs through multiple value-inflection points towards commercialization. We look forward to providing updates on our progress in the months ahead.”
