Management Commentary
“We made material progress on both the MyoVista Insights cloud-platform, its first related algorithm, and the MyoVista® wavECG™ device in recent months. We have also resolved some challenges and continue to focus on ensuring a robust financial position to capitalize on our opportunity to be a leader in what is set to become a $25 billion per year market. We are laying the long-term foundations to solve the diagnostic gap for the early detection of heart disease, which represents one of the most significant benefits for healthcare worldwide,” said Andrew Simpson, CEO of HeartSciences.
“Our team remains focused on getting through regulatory submission for the MyoVista® wavECG™ as quickly as practical, and we continue to work methodically and diligently to bring a successful conclusion to many years and several tens of millions of dollars of investment in R&D, clinical studies and regulatory work.”
“Feedback on our MyoVista Insights platform has been positive and work to bring forward the first of the Mount Sinai licensed algorithms is well underway. As a software based medical device many of the most time-consuming development and regulatory requirements associated with a hardware-based device are avoided.”
“We believe HeartSciences is uniquely positioned to bring forward both cloud-based and device-based AI-ECG solutions for the resting ECG, which is expected to provide significant competitive advantage. Engagement with key opinion leaders is more active, which bodes well for commercialization,” concluded Mr. Simpson.
