Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences
(Nasdaq: HSCS; HSCSW) ("HeartSciences" or the "Company"),
an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered medical technology company
focused on transforming ECGs/EKGs to save lives through earlier
detection of heart disease, today announced the appointment of
Benjamin Glicksberg, Ph.D. to its Scientific Advisory Board.
“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Glicksberg, an
elite data scientist and an instrumental leader in the
establishment of the AI-ECG program at the Icahn School of Medicine

Advisory Board,” said Andrew Simpson, CEO of HeartSciences.
“In 2024, following the recent closing of our agreements with Mount
Sinai covering an industry leading portfolio of AI-based ECG/EKG
algorithms, technologies and patent rights for the screening and
diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, we are focused on achieving
significant milestones that include bringing forward a hardware
agnostic cloud platform to deliver the portfolio of AI-ECG
algorithms licensed from Mount Sinai, in addition to FDA clearance
of our MyoVista wavECG device. As part of this process, we are
actively expanding our Scientific Advisory Board to include
industry experts and broaden our outreach. We are excited to
work with Dr. Glicksberg and look forward to him bringing valuable
insights and expertise as we focus on our mission of expanding the
clinical diagnostic capabilities of the ECG/EKG.”
Dr. Glicksberg has served as a lead investigator
and inventor of multiple algorithms licensed by HeartSciences from
Mount Sinai. He has extensive experience in working at the
intersection of machine learning, digital health, and
bioinformatics. Dr. Glicksberg currently serves as the Vice
President and Head of Data Science and Machine Learning on the
leadership team of Character Biosciences, a drug discovery and
development company leveraging human genetics and medical
imaging-based machine learning. Prior to that, Dr. Glicksberg was
Assistant Professor in AI for Human Health and Genetics and Genomic
Sciences at Mount Sinai, where he received his Ph.D. In addition,
Dr. Glicksberg completed postdoctoral work at the University of
California, San Francisco.
Ben Glicksberg, Ph.D., said, “AI-ECG technology
is poised to transform the early detection of heart disease, which
imposes an enormous global cost and health burden. HeartSciences
stands out as one of the few companies actively bringing new
AI-powered ECG capabilities to the healthcare market. I am
impressed by their proven track record of innovation and look
forward to contributing to HeartSciences at the forefront of this
field.”
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.
