Closed a Public Offering of common stock with gross proceeds of approximately
$11.5 million -
Continued to build significant clinical evidence on HeartBeam’s technology:
- At the American Heart Association (AHA) conference in November 2024, presented results from a pilot study demonstrating similar performance between HeartBeam’s synthesized 12-lead ECG and a standard 12-lead ECG for arrhythmia detection. The pilot study used the same protocol as the VALID-ECG pivotal study.
- Also, at AHA, presented data from a feasibility study on a novel algorithm, used in conjunction with the HeartBeam ECG technology, to detect acute coronary conditions like heart attacks.

Management Commentary
“The fourth quarter of 2024 and first months of 2025 were transformational for HeartBeam, as we progress towards becoming a commercial stage company enabled by FDA clearance for the HeartBeam System,” said Robert Eno, Chief Executive Officer, HeartBeam. “We have now initiated an Early Access Program to obtain important feedback and key learnings on the use of the system by patients and prescribing physicians. The focus of the program is to refine the end-to-end workflow, establish operational readiness, validate messaging and create a strong sales funnel. We have received extremely encouraging inbound interest, with hundreds of physicians and potential patients joining the waiting list.
“Building on our first FDA clearance, we submitted a 510(k) application to the FDA for the 12-lead ECG synthesis software designed for the assessment of arrhythmias. The FDA submission is backed by robust data from the VALID-ECG pivotal study, which enrolled 198 patients across five clinical sites. We believe the study's findings support the similarity of HeartBeam's synthesized 12-lead ECG and standard 12-lead ECGs for arrhythmia assessment. We look forward to presenting this data at the HRS meeting in April 2025.
“As we continue to prepare for pilot commercialization, we recently completed funding for gross proceeds of approximately
