Item 1. Business.
Company Overview
We are a healthcare information technology company focused on advancing electrocardiography (“ECG” or “EKG”) through the integration of artificial intelligence (“AI”). Our first commercial product is MyoVista Insights™, a cloud-native, vendor- and device-agnostic ECG management platform designed to modernize ECG workflows and enable scalable deployment of AI-ECG capabilities across healthcare systems.
MyoVista Insights™ is classified as a Medical Device Data System (“MDDS”) and is exempt from the FDA 510(k) requirements. The platform is designed to streamline ECG study organization, enhance waveform analysis, and simplify clinical workflows, enabling more efficient interpretation, storage, and management of ECG data. It is also designed to host AI-ECG algorithms from multiple vendors and integrate them directly into clinical workflows, providing a flexible and extensible foundation for the adoption of AI in ECG.
Following its early adopter launch in 2025, we have implemented phased enhancements to MyoVista Insights™. In March 2026, we released a significant version upgrade for broader deployment across cardiology and healthcare IT environments. This release included mobile device access, enhanced reporting capabilities, and expanded interoperability designed to support integration across large health systems and enterprise environments.
In March 2026, MyoVista Insights™ received Epic Toolbox designation for the ECG Management System category from Epic Systems Corporation. We believe this designation supports its positioning within enterprise healthcare IT ecosystems and may facilitate adoption within Epic-enabled health systems.
Read full description ↓
We expect to generate revenue from installation fees, software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) usage fees, and fees associated with AI-ECG algorithms made available through the platform’s AI-ECG marketplace, including third-party algorithms.
We have also developed the MyoVista® wavECG™ device, which provides conventional ECG functionality and is designed to host embedded AI-ECG algorithms. We submitted the MyoVista wavECG device to the FDA for 510(k) premarket clearance in December 2025, and the submission remains under FDA review. We cannot provide assurance on the timing or outcome of the FDA’s review, and there can be no assurance that 510(k) clearance will be obtained.
The future success of the MyoVista wavECG device is dependent on obtaining FDA clearance and the integration of AI-ECG algorithms, including an impaired cardiac relaxation (e’) algorithm under development. Following updated American Society of Echocardiography (“ASE”) guidelines for the assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction (“LVDD”), including revised age-based thresholds for cardiac relaxation (e’), we elected to separate the FDA submissions for the device and the impaired cardiac relaxation algorithm. Additional development and validation will be required to align the algorithm with the updated clinical standards.
We will require additional funding to support working capital, continued development and commercialization of MyoVista Insights™, and regulatory clearance of the MyoVista wavECG device and associated AI-ECG algorithms.
Heart Disease Facts and Current ECG Testing Limitations
Heart disease refers to a variety of conditions that affect the heart, including heart rhythm disorders, valvular disease, congenital defects and vascular diseases such as CAD. It is often referred to as the “silent killer” due to its asymptomatic progression.
According to the American Heart Association, one in three patients are not diagnosed until after a heart attack occurs, and 50% of men and 64% of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease had no prior symptoms. Data from the CDC indicate that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States across most demographic groups, with one death occurring approximately every 34 seconds. Approximately 20.5 million adults in the United States have CAD, and about one in five heart attacks is silent.
Globally, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 19.8 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2022, representing 32% of all global deaths.
Despite its widespread use, the conventional ECG has limited sensitivity for detecting CAD and structural heart disease. As a result, it is not considered a reliable standalone diagnostic tool for early detection of many cardiac conditions.
AI-ECG algorithms have demonstrated the ability to detect a broader range of cardiac conditions from ECG data than is possible through traditional interpretation, creating the potential to enhance the clinical utility of ECG as a front-line diagnostic tool, and offer the potential for earlier, more effective detection in healthcare settings other than cardiology.
Overuse of Expensive Cardiology-Based Diagnostic Testing
We believe that the absence of cost-effective front-line or primary-care-based testing has resulted in the over-use of costly cardiology-based diagnostic tests. Noninvasive cardiac tests are significant contributors to healthcare costs, accounting for approximately 20% to 30% of Medicare Part B spending on medical imaging, or approximately $4 to $6 billion annually according to the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). There are a variety of effective, though expensive, diagnostic tests used for patients to detect heart disease. These diagnostic tests are typically performed in a specialist cardiology or hospital setting and may include:
Stress ECG testing, a non-invasive diagnostic test with a cost of approximately $200 with, according to the American College of Cardiology, a sensitivity of 68% in the detection of CAD;
Echocardiogram, or echo, a non-invasive diagnostic imaging test, similar to an ultrasound, which is effective in the detection of heart disease; however, the Medicare cost of an echo in a hospital is approximately $500 in a hospital outpatient setting and can be as much as $3,000 if performed privately;
Cardiac imaging tests, such as nuclear stress tests and coronary computerized tomography angiograms alternatively can be conducted noninvasively, but typically cost $1,000 or more; or
Coronary angiogram, an invasive test in which dye that is visible by X-ray is injected into the blood vessels of the heart. A coronary angiogram can cost in excess of $5,000.
ECG Usage and AI-ECG Algorithms
Despite current clinical limitations, the ECG is one of the most widely used diagnostic tests globally, with an estimated 1.5 to 3 million tests performed daily worldwide. The global ECG market is projected to grow significantly, driven by increased demand and technological advancements.
In recent years, there have been a significant number of clinical publications on AI-based ECG algorithms which demonstrate the ability to detect a wide range of cardiac conditions using an ECG that were not previously possible with human interpretation of the ECG trace and have traditionally required cardiac imaging. These include systolic dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart valve abnormalities, coronary arterial disease, and pulmonary hypertension amongst others. The ability to identify a much broader range of conditions using an ECG offers the prospect of earlier detection of heart disease in healthcare settings other than cardiology.
In 2022 the American Medical Association (“AMA”) issued new Category III Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes for novel AI assistive algorithmic ECG risk assessment for cardiac dysfunction. In late 2023, the FDA granted clearance for the first AI-ECG algorithm under the De Novo pathway which established a 510(k) predicate pathway under which FDA clearance has been issued for several further AI-ECG algorithms covering a variety of indications for use. In 2025 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) included AI-ECG technology in the 2025 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) final rule under assignment APC 5734. This approval allows outpatient settings to receive reimbursement AI-ECG and the payment rate is approximately $136. Clinical adoption of AI-ECG is now commencing, which we expect will become a very significant market opportunity and increase ECG usage.
MyoVista Insights Platform and Related AI-ECG Algorithms
MyoVista Insights™ is designed as a cloud-native ECG management and analytics platform that serves as a centralized hub for ECG data, workflow management, and AI-enabled analysis. Key platform capabilities include:
Centralized ECG storage and management;
Advanced waveform visualization and reporting tools;
Workflow optimization and study organization;
Interoperability with electronic medical record systems and ECG devices; and
Integration of multiple AI-ECG algorithms within clinical workflows.
The platform is designed to support an AI-ECG marketplace, enabling the integration of algorithms developed by both HeartSciences and third parties. This model is intended to expand clinical applications, accelerate deployment, and reduce reliance on internal algorithm development.
We are in discussion with several third-party AI-ECG algorithm development companies regarding hosting and commercialization arrangements on the platform, including for algorithms that have received FDA or other regulatory clearance, and we expect to enter into one or more such arrangements as the marketplace develops. We also hold multiple license agreements entered into in 2023 with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York (“Mount Sinai”) covering a range of AI-ECG algorithms, including an aortic stenosis algorithm that received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation in 2025, and we intend to bring forward selected licensed algorithms based on commercial viability and regulatory pathway.
In March 2026, we released a significant version upgrade for broader deployment across cardiology and healthcare IT environments. This release included mobile device access, enhanced reporting capabilities, and expanded interoperability designed to support integration across large health systems and enterprise environments. MyoVista Insights™ has also received Epic Toolbox designation for the ECG Management System category from Epic Systems Corporation. We believe this designation supports its positioning within enterprise healthcare IT ecosystems and may facilitate adoption within Epic-enabled health systems.
We deployed MyoVista Insights™ into several healthcare settings during our early adopter phase, and we are now focused on establishing key commercial reference sites and revenue generating installations. We recently announced commercial customer engagements for MyoVista Insights™ and we are in active discussions regarding additional customer engagements.
MyoVista wavECG Device
The MyoVista wavECG device is a 12-lead ECG system designed to complement the MyoVista Insights™ platform by enabling point-of-care ECG acquisition and analysis. The device includes conventional ECG functionality, including the Glasgow ECG Interpretation Algorithm, and is designed to incorporate embedded AI-ECG algorithms.
We submitted the MyoVista wavECG device to the FDA for 510(k) premarket clearance in December 2025. The submission remains under FDA review, and we cannot provide assurance on the timing or outcome of the review process. There can be no assurance that 510(k) clearance will be obtained, or that it will be obtained without modifications to the device, additional data requests, or other conditions imposed by the FDA. The future success of the MyoVista wavECG device is dependent on obtaining FDA clearance and the integration of AI-ECG algorithms, including an impaired cardiac relaxation (e’) algorithm under development. Following updated American Society of Echocardiography (“ASE”) guidelines for the assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction (“LVDD”), including revised age-based thresholds for cardiac relaxation (e’), we elected to separate the FDA submissions for the device and the impaired cardiac relaxation algorithm. Additional development and validation will be required to align the algorithm with updated clinical standards.
Market Opportunity
Diagnostic Gap
We believe that one of the most significant unmet needs in cardiovascular care is the early identification of heart disease. Heart disease often remains asymptomatic until advanced stages, contributing to high rates of undiagnosed disease.
In addition to this clinical gap, we believe there is a structural gap in how ECG data is managed and utilized. Despite being one of the most widely used diagnostic tests, ECG data is often fragmented across systems, limiting its clinical utility and integration into broader care pathways.
Need for Modernization of ECG Workflows and Infrastructure
ECG management within healthcare systems is frequently characterized by legacy systems, manual workflows, and limited interoperability. These constraints can lead to inefficiencies in data access, delays in interpretation, and challenges in longitudinal patient analysis.
MyoVista Insights is designed to address these limitations by providing a centralized, cloud-native ECG management platform that simplifies workflows, standardizes data management, and integrates with existing healthcare IT systems.
Expansion of Addressable Market Through SaaS Delivery
We believe that the availability of a cloud-based, SaaS ECG management platform has the potential to expand the overall addressable market beyond institutions currently using traditional ECG management systems.
In the United States, there are a significant number of healthcare settings that perform ECG testing but do not have centralized ECG management infrastructure, often due to cost constraints, complexity, or IT limitations, and where manual processes or paper-based workflows remain commonplace. MyoVista Insights has been designed to scale from primary care environments through to large health systems, which we believe significantly expands the addressable market.
A similar dynamic exists in international markets. There are significant regions and countries, including India and other developing healthcare systems, where ECG usage is widespread and cost-effective testing is essential, but where centralized ECG management systems may be limited or not currently in place. In such environments, we believe MyoVista Insights™ may offer a more practical and scalable alternative to traditional systems, or a solution where one does not currently exist.
We believe that a SaaS-based model, combined with device-agnostic deployment, enables access to these underpenetrated markets and may support broader adoption across a wider range of healthcare providers.
Interoperability, Cybersecurity and SaaS Adoption
Healthcare providers are increasingly prioritizing interoperability and data security. Many existing ECG management solutions rely on on-premise or proprietary architectures that can be difficult to integrate and maintain.
MyoVista Insights™ is designed as a cloud-based platform with interoperability capabilities and centralized data management, which we believe can support improved system integration, data governance, and cybersecurity. In addition, the platform is delivered as a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solution, aligning with broader healthcare IT trends toward lower upfront costs, scalability, and reduced internal IT burden.
AI-ECG as an Emerging Layer Within Clinical Workflow
Advances in AI-ECG algorithms have demonstrated the ability to enhance the diagnostic capability of ECG. However, we believe that widespread adoption will depend on the ability to deploy and manage multiple algorithms within routine clinical workflows.
MyoVista Insights™ is designed to function as an AI-ECG orchestration platform, enabling healthcare providers to access and deploy multiple algorithms within a single integrated environment. This approach is intended to simplify adoption, support scalability, and enable the use of both proprietary and third-party algorithms.
Overuse of Expensive Cardiology-Based Diagnostic Testing
Limitations of conventional ECG contribute to the use of higher-cost diagnostic testing. Non-invasive cardiac tests are estimated to account for approximately 20% to 30% of Medicare Part B imaging spend, approximately $4 to $6 billion annually according to CMS.
We believe that enhancing ECG through improved data infrastructure and AI-enabled analysis may support more efficient patient triage and reduce reliance on higher-cost diagnostic procedures.
Growing ECG Market
ECG remains one of the most widely used diagnostic tests globally, with an estimated 1.5 million to 3.0 million ECGs performed daily worldwide and more than 100 million annually in the United States.
We believe that improving how ECG data is managed, analyzed, and integrated into clinical workflows can increase its overall clinical and operational value.
Impetus to Identify Risks Earlier for More Effective Low-Cost Testing
Healthcare systems are increasingly focused on cost containment and preventative care. We believe that improving ECG-based diagnostics, combined with modern data infrastructure, may support earlier identification of at-risk patients in a cost-effective manner.
Changing Healthcare Delivery and Reimbursement Models
The expansion of care into outpatient and alternative settings, together with the growth of value-based care and capitation models, is increasing the importance of efficient, scalable diagnostic solutions.
We believe that solutions that improve detection, integrate into clinical workflows, and support risk identification may align with these evolving healthcare delivery and reimbursement models.
Competitive Strengths and Market Strategy
We believe our competitive strengths derive from our platform-centric approach, which focuses on simplifying existing ECG workflows while enabling scalable integration of AI-ECG capabilities.
Platform-Centric Strategy Focused on Workflow Enablement
Our strategy is centered on MyoVista Insights™ as a cloud-based ECG management and AI orchestration platform. We are focused on simplifying and improving processes that are already widely performed within healthcare systems, including ECG acquisition, storage, interpretation, and reporting.
We believe that by improving workflow efficiency, reducing system fragmentation, and simplifying data management, MyoVista Insights™ can deliver operational and economic benefits independent of AI-ECG adoption. This positions the platform as both a foundational ECG management solution and a scalable infrastructure for future innovation.
Ability to Benefit from AI-ECG Without Dependence on a Single Algorithm
We are not solely an AI-ECG algorithm development company. While we develop and license algorithms, our platform strategy is designed to enable us to benefit from the broader adoption of AI-ECG regardless of which specific algorithms achieve clinical or commercial success.
We believe this approach reduces dependency on the development, regulatory approval, and market adoption of any single algorithm and allows us to participate in the growth of the AI-ECG market without bearing the full cost, time, and risk associated with creating that market.
AI-ECG Orchestration Platform Designed for Clinical Workflow Integration
Many AI-ECG solutions are delivered as standalone tools or application programming interfaces (APIs), which may require additional integration effort and may not align well with existing clinical workflows.
MyoVista Insights™ is designed as an AI-ECG orchestration platform that enables multiple algorithms to be deployed, managed, and accessed within a unified clinical environment. By embedding AI-ECG outputs directly into existing workflows, the platform is intended to reduce implementation complexity and support more seamless clinical adoption.
Vendor- and Device-Agnostic Architecture
MyoVista Insights™ is designed to operate across a wide range of ECG devices and healthcare IT systems. This vendor- and device-agnostic approach allows healthcare providers to access AI-ECG capabilities without replacing existing infrastructure.
We believe this flexibility lowers barriers to adoption and supports broader scalability across diverse healthcare environments.
Marketplace Model Supporting Multiple Algorithms
The platform is designed to host and integrate multiple AI-ECG algorithms, including third-party solutions. We believe this model enables healthcare providers to access a wider range of diagnostic capabilities and allows the platform to incorporate new algorithms as they emerge.
This approach is intended to allow MyoVista Insights™ to evolve with advances in AI-ECG technology and to incorporate algorithms that achieve clinical acceptance, rather than being limited to a fixed or internally developed set of solutions.
Alignment with Healthcare IT Trends
MyoVista Insights™ is designed as a cloud-native, software-as-a-service platform. We believe this aligns with healthcare providers’ increasing preference for scalable, subscription-based solutions that reduce capital expenditures and internal IT complexity.
In addition, centralized architecture may support improved data governance, system updates, and cybersecurity management relative to legacy systems.
Workflow Integration and Interoperability
The platform is designed to integrate with electronic medical record systems and existing clinical workflows. We believe this integration is critical for adoption, as it enables ECG data and AI-derived insights to be delivered within the systems clinicians already use.
Complementary Device Strategy
While our primary focus is on the MyoVista Insights™ platform, the MyoVista wavECG device is designed to complement the platform by enabling integrated ECG acquisition and analysis at the point of care.
We believe this combined approach provides flexibility in deployment, allowing healthcare providers to adopt our solutions through either existing ECG infrastructure or our proprietary device.
Competition
The medical device industry is characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition, and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. There are many medical device companies, biotechnology companies, public and private universities and research organizations actively engaged in the R&D of products that may be similar to HeartSciences AI-ECG algorithms and MyoVista hardware. Competitors could include traditional ECG manufacturers such as GE Healthcare Technologies, Inc., (“GE Healthcare”), Koninklijke Philips N.V. (“Philips”), Baxter International, Inc. (“Baxter”), and Nihon Kohden Corporation that may seek to innovate, and new commercial entrants to the AI-ECG market, such as Anumana, Inc. or companies involved in AI healthcare, such as Tempus Labs, Inc. or VIZ.ai that also see the opportunity to bring innovation in a market that, we believe, has significant need for improved products and technology change.
Intellectual Property
Our technology is protected by a patent portfolio as well as trade secrets, which together comprise an important part of the intellectual property protection for our existing and licensed proprietary algorithms (especially when developing proprietary algorithms). We believe that the combination of patents and trade secrets creates valuable competitive barriers in favor of HeartSciences.
The USPTO has issued nine utility patents and one design patent to us, and a patent allowance for a utility patent exclusively licensed to us. The patent expiration dates range from March 2031 to August 2040. We also have fourteen international design registrations and twenty-five international utility patents granted (with expiration dates ranging from September 2036 to March 2040) in jurisdictions such as China, Canada, Japan, Israel, India, Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, and Australia and we currently have one patent allowance in Europe.
In addition, we have entered into two agreements that are material to our rights to the intellectual property utilized in the MyoVista wavECG:
In January 2014, we entered into an invention assignment agreement under which certain specified MyoVista wavECG technology and proprietary and intellectual property rights thereto (including patents, copyright, trademarks, trade secrets and know-how) were transferred and assigned to us by the inventor; and
In December 2015, we entered the Glasgow Licensing Agreement with The University Court of the University of Glasgow under which we obtained a non-exclusive, worldwide license to software modules for an Android platform for analysis of resting 12-lead electrocardiograms and all intellectual property rights (including patents, copyright, trademarks, trade secrets and know-how) relating to the software modules to be used in the MyoVista wavECG.
Research and Development
The Company’s R&D staff designs our hardware, software and internally developed AI-ECG algorithms. Hardware development assistance is provided by outside consulting firms. The Company internally develops the software for the device along with the assistance of multiple software development contractors. The data science work necessary to build the AI-ECG algorithms is performed both internally and externally using outside data science experts.
Incorporation of all software elements into the MyoVista wavECG hardware is performed internally. We currently employ five full-time R&D staff.
We believe, based on our research and other published research, that further algorithms could be developed for a range of additional clinical indications. To support our platform’s marketplace strategy and expand the range of AI-ECG algorithms available through MyoVista Insights™, we are in discussions with third-party algorithm developers regarding additional hosting and licensing arrangements, and previously entered into the License Agreements with Mount Sinai on September 20, 2023. Studies involving the use of the MyoVista wavECG along with proof of concept algorithms for alternative clinical indications have already been published in addition to the growing body of third-party published research in this field.
On November 29, 2022, we entered into a multi-year collaboration agreement with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, to research and develop additional AI-ECG algorithms.
FDA and Other Government Regulation
General
Our products are subject to regulation by the FDA and various other federal and state agencies, as well as by foreign governmental agencies. These agencies enforce laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, advertising, marketing and distribution, and market surveillance of our medical device products.
In addition to those indicated below, the only other regulations we encounter are regulations that are common to all businesses, such as employment legislation, implied warranty laws, and environmental, health and safety standards, to the extent applicable. We will also encounter in the future industry-specific government regulations that would govern our device, if and when developed for commercial use. It may become the case that other regulatory approvals will be required for the design and manufacture of our device.
FDA Requirements and Other Regulatory Approval Requirements
Our products are subject to regulation under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”) as implemented and enforced by the FDA. The FDA regulates the development, design, non-clinical and clinical research, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, packaging, storage, installation, servicing, recordkeeping, premarket clearance or approval, import, export, adverse event reporting, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution of medical devices to ensure that medical devices distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses and otherwise meet the requirements of the FDCA.
In addition to U.S. regulations, we are subject to a variety of regulations in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) governing clinical trials and the commercial sales and distribution of our products. Whether or not we have or are required to obtain FDA clearance or approval for a product, we will be required to obtain authorization before commencing clinical trials and to obtain marketing authorization or approval of our products under the comparable regulatory authorities of countries outside of the United States before we can commence clinical trials or launch sales of our products in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance or approval. Medical devices are generally subject to varying levels of regulatory control based on risk level of the device.
A clearance or authorization letter from the FDA authorizes commercial marketing of the device for one or more specific indications of use. After clearance or authorization, the Company will be required to comply with a number of post-clearance requirements, including, but not limited to, Medical Device Reporting and complaint handling, and, if applicable, reporting of corrective actions. Also, quality control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to the QSR. The FDA periodically inspects manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with QSRs, which impose extensive procedural, substantive, and record keeping requirements on medical device manufacturers. In addition, changes to the manufacturing process are strictly regulated, and, depending on the change, validation activities may need to be performed. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with the QSR and other types of regulatory controls.
The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission, or (“FTC”), will also regulate the advertising claims of the Company’s products to ensure that the claims it makes are consistent with its regulatory clearances, that there is scientific data to substantiate the claims and that product advertising is neither false nor misleading.
FDA Clearance Process and FDA Validation Clinical Study
Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, granting of a de novo request, or approval of an application for premarket approval (“PMA”). Under the FDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, Class II or Class III — depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of regulatory controls needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
Class I includes devices with the lowest risk to the patient and are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to the FDA’s General Controls for medical devices, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the Quality System Regulation, or QSR, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events, and truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising and promotional materials.
Class II devices are subject to the FDA’s General Controls, and special controls as deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries and FDA guidance documents. While most Class I devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification under Section 510(k) of the FDCA requesting permission to commercially distribute the device. The FDA’s permission to commercially distribute a device subject to class II controls is generally described as 510(k) clearance.
Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life sustaining, life supporting or some implantable devices, or devices that have a new intended use, or use advanced technology that is not substantially equivalent to that of a legally marketed device, are placed in Class III, requiring approval of a PMA. Some pre-amendment devices are unclassified but are subject to FDA’s premarket notification and clearance process in order to be commercially distributed.
510(k) Clearance Marketing Pathway
To obtain 510(k) clearance, we must submit to the FDA a premarket notification submission demonstrating that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a predicate device already on the market. A predicate device is a legally marketed device that is not subject to PMA, i.e., a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device) and for which a PMA is not required, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, or a device that was found substantially equivalent through the 510(k) process. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but often takes longer. The FDA may require additional information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence. In addition, the FDA collects user fees for certain medical device submissions and annual fees for medical device establishments.
If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If the FDA determines that the device is “not substantially equivalent” to a previously cleared device, the device is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements or can request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the “De Novo” process, which is a route to market novel medical devices that are low to moderate risk and are not substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) or possibly a PMA. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination initially, but the FDA can review any such decision and can disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If the FDA disagrees with our determination not to seek a new 510(k) clearance, the FDA may retroactively require us to seek 510(k) clearance or possibly a PMA. The FDA could also require us to cease marketing and distribution and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or a PMA is obtained. Also, in these circumstances, we may be subject to significant regulatory fines and penalties.
PMA Approval Pathway
Class III devices require approval of a PMA before they can be marketed, although some pre-amendment Class III devices for which the FDA has not yet required a PMA are cleared through the 510(k) process. The PMA process is more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process. In a PMA application, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the device is safe and effective, and the PMA application must be supported by extensive data, including data from preclinical studies and human clinical trials. The PMA application must also contain a full description of the device and its components, a full description of the methods, facilities, and controls used for manufacturing, and proposed labeling. Following receipt of a PMA application, the FDA determines whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA accepts the application for review, it has 180 days under the FDCA to complete its review of a PMA application, although in practice, the FDA’s review often takes significantly longer, and can take up to several years. An advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. The FDA may or may not accept the panel’s recommendation. In addition, the FDA will generally conduct a pre-approval inspection of the applicant or its third-party manufacturers’ or suppliers’ manufacturing facility or facilities to ensure compliance with the QSR. PMA devices are also subject to the payment of user fees.
The FDA will approve the new device for commercial distribution if it determines that the data and information in the PMA application constitute valid scientific evidence and that there is reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). A PMA may include post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution, and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical study that supported the PMA or requirements to conduct additional clinical studies post-approval. The FDA may condition PMA approval on some form of post-market surveillance when deemed necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and efficacy data for the device in a larger population or for a longer period of use. In such cases, the manufacturer might be required to follow certain patient groups for a number of years and to make periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval can result in material adverse enforcement action, including withdrawal of the approval.
Certain changes to an approved device, such as changes in manufacturing facilities, methods, or quality control procedures, or changes in the design performance specifications, which affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, require submission of a PMA supplement. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a PMA, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original PMA and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. Certain other changes to an approved device require the submission of a new PMA, such as when the design change causes a different intended use, mode of operation, and technical basis of operation, or when the design change is so significant that a new generation of the device will be developed, and the data that were submitted with the original PMA are not applicable for the change in demonstrating a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. None of our currently developed products require a PMA to be marketed.
De Novo Classification
Medical device types that the FDA has not previously classified as Class I, II or III are automatically classified into Class III regardless of the level of risk they pose. The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 established a new route to market for low to moderate risk medical devices that are automatically placed into Class III due to the absence of a predicate device, called the “Request for Evaluation of Automatic Class III Designation,” or the De Novo classification procedure.
This procedure allows a manufacturer whose novel device is automatically classified into Class III to request down-classification of its medical device into Class I or Class II on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk, rather than requiring the submission and approval of a PMA application. Prior to the enactment of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act of 2012, or FDASIA, a medical device could only be eligible for De Novo classification if the manufacturer first submitted a 510(k) pre-market notification and received a determination from the FDA that the device was not substantially equivalent. FDASIA streamlined the De Novo classification pathway by permitting manufacturers to request De Novo classification directly without first submitting a 510(k) pre-market notification to the FDA and receiving a not substantially equivalent determination. Under FDASIA, the FDA is required to classify the device within 120 days following receipt of the De Novo application. If the manufacturer seeks reclassification into Class II, the manufacturer must include a draft proposal for special controls that are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the medical device. In addition, the FDA may reject the reclassification petition if it identifies a legally marketed predicate device that would be appropriate for a 510(k) or determines that the device is not low to moderate risk or that general controls would be inadequate to control the risks and special controls cannot be developed.
After initial authorization, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, another De Novo classification request, or PMA approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to determine whether the proposed change requires submission of a 510(k) or a PMA in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision and disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or request the recall of the modified device until 510(k) marketing clearance or PMA approval is obtained. Also, in these circumstances, the manufacturer may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
The MyoVista wavECG device along with its proprietary software and hardware is classified as a Class II medical device by the FDA. We previously submitted and intended to seek authorization to market the device through submission under the De Novo pathway, however in December 2023 the FDA confirmed that we could submit the MyoVista wavECG device for clearance under the 510(k) pathway following the grant by the FDA in August 2023 of an industry-first De Novo clearance which created a new Class II product code for cardiovascular machine learning-based notification software. We submitted the MyoVista wavECG device to the FDA for a 510(k) FDA submission in December 2025 and licensed or developed additional AI-ECG algorithms that may be submitted for regulatory clearance in the future. The future success of the MyoVista wavECG device is dependent on obtaining FDA clearance and the integration of an impaired cardiac relaxation (e’) AI-ECG algorithm under development. Following the publication of updated ASE guidelines for the assessment of LVDD, including revised age-based thresholds for cardiac relaxation (e’), we elected to separate the FDA submissions for the MyoVista wavECG device and the impaired cardiac relaxation algorithm. Additional development and validation will be required for the impaired cardiac relaxation algorithm to align with the updated clinical standards.
MyoVista Insights™ is classified as an MDDS and is exempt from FDA 510(k) premarket clearance requirements. In contrast, the MyoVista wavECG device and related AI-ECG algorithms are regulated as Class II medical devices and are subject to FDA premarket review, generally through the 510(k) premarket notification process or, in certain cases, the De Novo classification process. In December 2025, we submitted the MyoVista wavECG device to the FDA for 510(k) premarket clearance.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are almost always required to support a De Novo request and are sometimes required to support a 510(k) submission. All clinical investigations of investigational devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s investigational device exemption, or IDE, regulations which govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device, and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a “significant risk” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials. A significant risk device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, used in supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA notifies us that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which it requires modification, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval.
In addition, the study must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board, or IRB, for each clinical site. The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the IDE, and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more IRBs, human clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA. If the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval for the trial by one or more IRBs without separate approval from the FDA, but must still follow abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping requirements. Acceptance of an IDE application for review does not guarantee that the FDA will allow the IDE to become effective and, if it does become effective, the FDA may or may not determine that the data derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation of clinical trials. An IDE supplement must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study plan or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects.
During a study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping and prohibitions on the promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators in the clinical study are also subject to FDA regulations and must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of the investigational device, and comply with all reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, after a trial begins, we, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits.
Post-market Regulation
After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:
establishment registration and device listing with the FDA;
QSR requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process;
labeling and marketing regulations, which require that promotion is truthful, not misleading, fairly balanced and provide adequate directions for use and that all claims are substantiated, and also prohibit the promotion of products for unapproved or “off-label” uses and impose other restrictions on labeling; FDA guidance on off-label dissemination of information and responding to unsolicited requests for information;
clearance or approval of product modifications to 510(k)-cleared devices, or those re-classified to 510(k) cleared devices, that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use of one of our cleared devices, or approval of a supplement for certain modifications to PMA devices;
medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, if the malfunction were to recur;
correction, removal and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;
complying with the new federal law and regulations requiring Unique Device Identifiers (UDI) on devices and also requiring the submission of certain information about each device to the FDA’s Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID);
the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations; and
post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when deemed by the FDA to be necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.
The manufacturing processes for medical devices are required to comply with the applicable portions of the QSR, which cover the methods and the facilities and controls for the design, manufacture, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation and servicing of finished devices intended for human use. The QSR also requires, among other things, maintenance of a device master file, device history file, and complaint files. These requirements impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our third-party manufacturers related to the methods used in and the facilities and controls used for designing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storing, medical devices. As a manufacturer, we will be subject to periodic scheduled or unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Following these inspections, the FDA may assert noncompliance with QSR requirements on a Form 483, which is a report of observations from an inspection, or by way of “untitled letters” or “warning letters” that could cause us or any third-party manufacturers to modify certain activities. A Form 483 notice, if issued at the conclusion of an FDA inspection, can list conditions the FDA investigators believe may have violated QSR or other FDA requirements. We cannot be certain that we or our present or any future third-party manufacturers or suppliers will be able to comply with QSR or other FDA regulatory requirements to the agency’s satisfaction. Failure to comply with these obligations may lead to possible legal or regulatory enforcement action by the FDA.
The FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that we failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions:
warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
recalls, withdrawals, or administrative detention or seizure of our device;
operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) marketing clearance or PMA approvals of new products or modified products;
withdrawing 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted;
refusal to grant export or import approvals for our device; or
criminal prosecution.
Advertising and Promotion
The FDA and other regulatory agencies closely regulate the post-approval marketing and promotion of medical devices, including standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, communications about unapproved uses, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities and promotional activities involving the internet. Devices may be marketed only for the approved or cleared indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved or cleared label.
Foreign Regulation
As we plan to market our device in the EU and other foreign markets, in addition to regulations in the United States, we will be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of our device in foreign countries. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement also vary greatly from country to country and such regulatory requirements have been changing and increasing in some countries. We may be unable to maintain regulatory qualifications, clearances, approvals or CE Certificates of Conformity in these countries or to obtain clearances or approvals in other countries. We may incur significant costs in attempting to obtain, renew, or modify foreign regulatory clearances or approvals, qualifications or CE Certificates of Conformity. If we experience difficulties in receiving, maintaining, renewing or modifying necessary qualifications, clearances, approvals or CE Certificates of Conformity to market our products outside the United States, or if we fail to receive, renew, modify or maintain those qualifications, clearances, approvals or CE Certificates of Conformity, we may be unable to market our products or enhancements in certain international markets effectively, or at all.
On April 5, 2017, a new regulation on medical devices was adopted to establish a modernized and more robust European Union legislative framework, with the aim of ensuring better protection of public health and patient safety: Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices, amending Directive 2001/83/EC, Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and repealing Council Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC, which became applicable from May 26, 2021, (the “EU MDR”). The EU MDR repeals and replaces the EU Medical Devices Directive and unlike directives, which must be given effect through transposition into the national domestic laws of the Relevant States, regulations are directly applicable (i.e., without the need for transposition into national laws implementing them) in all Relevant States. The EU MDR is also applicable in the EEA. Regulations (as EU law instruments) must be applied in their entirety across the EU so that legal acts are automatically and uniformly applied to all EU countries as soon as they enter into force to minimize variations that may arise in transposition of EU law into national law. These modifications may have an effect on the way we design and manufacture products and conduct our business in the EU and EEA. For example, as a result of the transition towards the new regime, Notified Bodies have lengthened their review times, and product introductions or modifications could be delayed or cancelled or otherwise rejected, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.
The Company previously achieved a CE Mark under the EU Medical Devices Directive (the “MDD”) in February 2017. The Medical Device Directive was established on June 14, 1993 but the MDD regulatory framework, has since been replaced by EU MDR. In order to sell in member countries of the EEA, our devices must now comply with the essential requirements of the EU MDR. Our CE Mark issued under the MDD lapsed in February 2022 and we will need to establish compliance under EU MDR. An updated CE mark certificate under EU MDR, which we have not yet obtained, would entitle the Company to market the MyoVista wavECG in the European Economic Area as well as other countries for which CE Mark represents an appropriate regulatory standard.
Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company” and a “Smaller Reporting Company”
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”). For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of relief from certain reporting requirements and other burdens generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”); and
are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act.
We intend to take advantage of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107 of the JOBS Act. Please see “Risk Factors—We are an ‘emerging growth company,’ and any decision on our part to comply with certain reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make the Common Stock less attractive to investors.”
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity, or June 2027, pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. If we lose our “emerging growth company” status, we may face increased regulatory scrutiny and compliance costs. This includes stricter internal control over financial reporting requirements, expanded executive compensation disclosures and the potential adoption of new accounting standards. These changes can lead to higher audit fees, increased documentation and evidence requirements, and more complex audit processes. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates (and are not otherwise eligible to be a smaller reporting company), or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Further, under current SEC rules we will continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” for so long as we have a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
Certain of the reduced reporting requirements and exemptions available to us as an “emerging growth company” are also available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under the SEC rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation and report regarding internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. We will continue to be a smaller reporting company so long as (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
