[{"type":"text","content":"\nIndustry Leader, Former Head of Data Science at Verily (Google Life Sciences) and Globally Respected Authority on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications in Biosensor Technologies\n\nDr. Myers to Drive Innovation and Strategic Growth as HeartBeam Advances and Expands its AI Capabilities\n\n SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nHeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care by providing powerful cardiac insights wherever the patient is, announced the appointment of Lance Myers, PhD, a pioneer in digital health data analytics and body-worn biosensor technologies, as Chief Artificial Intelligence (AI) Scientist. In this newly created position, Dr. Myers will play a pivotal role in guiding how AI is applied to the Company’s core technology.\n\n“We’ve made tremendous progress with our deep learning approach with data demonstrating that combining HeartBeam AI with a vector-based approach delivered equivalent performance to a 12-lead ECG and greatly improved detection of atrial flutter over a single-lead ECG,” said Branislav Vajdic, PhD, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of HeartBeam. “As we enter the next phase of development, we’re pleased to have an industry leader of Lance’s caliber join our team. His insights and expertise will have an immediate impact as we strive to transform cardiac care by harnessing the power of AI with our data-rich technology.”\n\nHeartBeam’s core technology captures the heart’s electrical signals from three dimensions to provide total heart intelligence. The Company’s first application of the technology is a cable-free, credit card-sized device that is designed to be capable of synthesizing a 12-lead ECG. The HeartBeam system is currently under review with the FDA and is the foundational 510(k) submission upon which future submissions will be based. The Company has 13 issued US patents and 4 issued international patents supporting the underlying technology.\n\nBy leveraging AI to analyze the data-rich signals, the Company believes it will be able to improve diagnostic accuracy and unlock a more personalized approach to cardiac care for patients. As a patient uses the HeartBeam device over time, there will be a series of ECG readings. The Company aims to leverage AI to analyze the data to provide a longitudinal view of the patient’s cardiac status ...
