GlobeNewswire Inc.
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences (NASDAQ: HSCS;
HSCSW) (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”), a medical technology
company focused on saving lives by making an ECG (also known as an
EKG) a far more valuable screening tool through the use of
Artificial Intelligence (AI), today announced it has been granted a
patent in Israel (Patent No. 10-2490960) from the Israel Patent
Office.
Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of
HeartSciences, commented, “Artificial intelligence is transforming
what’s possible, and at HeartSciences we are at the leading edge of
changing what’s possible with an ECG by applying AI to make it a
far more valuable screening tool for heart disease detection to
save lives. Israel is a hotbed for medical device innovation,
with more patents granted per capita than anywhere else worldwide.
This patent award further protects our IP and further validates our
position as a technology innovator. Protection of our
intellectual property and patents is core to our strategy as they
provide intrinsic value and would be expected to be a source of
major competitive advantage as we move toward
commercialization.”
Millions of ECGs are performed worldwide every
week and the ECG is by far the most ubiquitous cardiac test.
Despite this, cardiovascular disease accounts for 17.9 million
deaths annually, an estimated 32% of all deaths worldwide. The
MyoVista® provides all conventional ECG information but, in
addition, incorporates an AI algorithm for the detection of cardiac
dysfunction. Conventional ECGs have historically had a limited, if
any, role in the evaluation of cardiac dysfunction which has
significantly reduced their role for heart disease screening.
To date, HeartSciences has been granted nine US
patents and 31 international patents for a total of 40 granted
patents. The Company has 8 additional patents pending across
the US and international markets. Issued international
patents are across key countries including China, Brazil, Canada,
India, South Korea, Mexico, and key European markets such as
Germany, France, the UK, Italy and the Netherlands.
About HeartSciences
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences is a medical
technology company focused on applying innovative AI-based
technology to an ECG (also known as an EKG) to expand and improve
an ECG’s clinical usefulness. Millions of ECGs are performed every
week and the Company’s objective is to improve healthcare by making
an ECG a far more valuable cardiac screening tool, particularly in
frontline or point-of-care clinical settings. HeartSciences’ first
product candidate for FDA clearance, the MyoVista® wavECG, or the
MyoVista®, is a resting 12-lead ECG that is also designed to
provide diagnostic information related to cardiac dysfunction which
has traditionally only been available through the use of cardiac
imaging. The MyoVista® also provides conventional ECG information
in the same test. The business model, which involves the use of the
MyoVista® device and consumables for each test, is expected to be
“razor-razorblade” as the electrodes used with the MyoVista® are
proprietary to HeartSciences, and new electrodes are required for
every test performed.
