HeartSciences’ MyoVista® wavECGTM Selected for Heart Screening of Irish Garda National Police Officers
November 13 2023 - 7:45AM
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences
(Nasdaq: HSCS; HSCSW) (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”), an
AI-powered medical technology company focused on transforming
ECGs/EKGs to save lives through earlier detection of heart disease,
today announced that its MyoVista® wavECGTM has been selected by
Cardiact Ltd (“Cardiact”) to be used in its heart screening program
of members of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors
(“AGSI”). In addition to the purchase of a MyoVista® device,
Cardiact has placed an initial supplies order covering 2,400
patient tests.
Cardiact is rolling out a newly established
heart screening program for the AGSI, which represents sergeants
and inspectors of the Garda Síochána national police service of
Ireland (“Garda”), to be conducted across Ireland and is due to
commence on November 27, 2023. Cardiact has also established
a new referral pathway directly to cardiology as part of the
program.
Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of
HeartSciences, commented, “We are delighted that the MyoVista®
wavECG™ has been chosen for use in this heart screening program of
Irish Garda officers. AI-ECG is beginning to see mainstream
acceptance and we are excited to see this new screening program
which further validates the enormous commercial opportunity for the
MyoVista® and the role of AI-ECG in preventative testing.” Mr.
Simpson added, “This latest announcement follows a number of recent
positive developments which we believe fundamentally transform and
de-risk HeartSciences. This includes our agreements with Icahn
School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, which provides HeartSciences
with what we believe is the largest AI-based ECG algorithm
portfolio of any commercial organization. In addition, the AI-ECG
industry continues to make exciting progress, with the recent
creation of a new FDA product classification for AI-ECG algorithms
which we expect to make clearance more structured and quicker under
the 510(k) process. We believe AI-based ECG algorithms are the
bridge that will finally allow front-line healthcare professionals
to close the diagnostic gap and detect heart disease much earlier
and at a lower cost."
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® wavECGTM, 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.
