Q&A highlights
Q: Congratulations on receiving your first FDA clearance. What went into your decision to not immediately commercialize upon clearance?
A: Initial clearance was for the system with three-lead output; we plan to commercialize with the twelve-lead synthesis software once cleared, using the early access program to prepare for pilot commercialization.
Q: What are your expectations for cash burn in 2025 and timing of next raise?
A: $14.5 million operating cash outflows in 2024 is a baseline for 2025; G&A costs stable; R&D spend opportunistically managed; capital raise provides runway for near-term milestones, with strategic capitalization planned ahead of commercial launch.
Q: Can you discuss what the pathway or road map is to get to heart attack detection?
A: Stepwise approach with FDA, starting with three-lead system and twelve-lead synthesis for arrhythmia, then expanding to heart attack detection; plan to speak with FDA soon and start a new clinical study on heart attack detection later in 2025.
Q: Is there any competition in the same space?
A: Most consumer devices are one-lead, less suitable for comprehensive cardiac assessment; existing twelve-lead devices are bulky and use traditional electrodes; our IP-protected, cable-free, small device with three-directional ECG is unique.
Q: Are you concerned about the political changes having an effect on getting timely FDA approval?
A: Uncertain environment, but we've been in contact with FDA review team and appear on track with our submission.
Q: Does your initial go-to-market plan include wearables?
A: Device is not a wearable, but there's potential for ecosystem where wearable data feeds into our system for combined insights.
Q: Are you planning to initially commercialize this technology alone or with a partner?
A: Assessing all options, planning initial pilot commercialization in two US markets with own team to demonstrate demand and implement playbook, then considering partnerships.
Q: When is the expected clearance time from FDA for the second clearance?
A: Estimating clearance before end of 2025, but no specific timing given yet; we have good relationships with FDA and encouraging results from VALID ECG study.
Q: Can you give us more details on the early access program?
A: Focus on refining clinical workflows, establishing operational readiness, validating commercial messaging, and building an early adopter funnel, with hundreds of patients expected to be involved.
