Management Commentary

"We continue to operate from a position of strength, equipped with multiple strategic partnerships to advance product development, near-term milestones and cash runway into 2023," said Branislav Vajdic, PhD, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of HeartBeam. "In collaboration with our LIVMOR partners our team continues to execute, readying our software for the planned submission to the FDA during the second quarter. Our partnership with Triple Ring Technologies is off to great start. The combined HeartBeam and Triple Ring team is making rapid progress in getting our 3D vector ECG collection device ready for FDA submission in Q4 of this year and readying it for production after FDA clearance," commented Dr. Vajdic.

"Taken together, we believe our commercialization path is on track to bring our products to market following FDA market clearance. In anticipation, our commercial team has continued to engage in positive discussions with strategic institutions, including academic centers, regional healthcare systems in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, and regional community hospital systems in the Western US that can utilize our products. Several of these target accounts have expressed willingness to conduct pilot evaluations of our ED software solution as soon as we receive FDA clearance for the product," said Jon Hunt, Ph.D. HeartBeam's Chief Business Officer.

"Armed with sufficient capital to execute our commercialization path, we remain confident in our anticipated upcoming product milestones. During the first quarter of 2023, we expect full commercial roll-out of our ED Software Tool after it is cleared by the FDA, and by the end of 2022 our Telehealth solution submitted to the FDA for clearance. We look forward to providing you additional updates in the near-term as we move toward FDA submission and commercialization," concluded Dr. Vajdic.
