HeartBeam Unveils AI Program Designed to Deliver Unprecedented Personalized Cardiac Insights

HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care through the power of personalized insights, today announced significant developments for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to its proprietary vectorelectrocardiography (VECG) technology, including the addition of new leadership and advisory roles. By coupling machine learning methods with the company’s VECG technology, HeartBeam aims to provide physicians with unprecedented diagnostic and prognostic insights about cardiac health that it believes will exceed the information provided by a standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).

HeartBeam’s core VECG technology collects 3D signals of the heart and converts them into an easy-to-interpret 12-lead ECG. Designed to be used with portable, patient-friendly devices, the company’s first planned application of the platform technology is its HeartBeam AIMIGo, the first and only credit card-sized device that provides a 12-lead ECG to facilitate remote evaluation of cardiac symptoms.

The HeartBeam technology gathers more data than a standard 12-lead ECG by capturing signals in 3 projections (X,Y,Z) that, when taken together, generate a complete 3D map of the heart's electrical activity. By leveraging AI to analyze these data-rich signals, HeartBeam believes it will be able to improve diagnostic accuracy and extract unique information that today’s 12-lead ECGs are unable to detect, such as complex heart rhythms, subtle signs of deteriorating heart health and cardiac events that may have previously been missed. In addition, as the device is used by the same patient over time, there will be a series of readings for each patient – data that is of great diagnostic value. HeartBeam believes this presents a unique opportunity to create a comprehensive repository of data that could unlock personalized AI-driven insights to improve cardiac care.

“It’s rare to acquire a large series of 12-lead ECGs from the same individual over time,” said Branislav Vajdic, PhD, CEO and Founder of HeartBeam. “By pioneering a user-friendly device that enables frequent 12-lead ECGs over time and by coupling AI with our proprietary VECG technology that can go beyond a 12-lead ECG, HeartBeam is well-positioned to identify nuanced cardiac trends that could ultimately improve patient care.”
