July 11, 2024 — Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered medical technology company focused on transforming ECGs/EKGs to save lives through earlier detection of heart disease, announced that intellectual property (IP) exclusively licensed to HeartSciences has received a notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the detection of left ventricular (LV) and/or right ventricular (RV) dysfunction using deep learning, further strengthening the Company’s AI-ECG IP portfolio.
Heart failure (HF) is a growing worldwide public health issue affecting 64 million people annually1 and is associated with high mortality, lower quality of life and reduced physical capacity while placing substantial costs on the healthcare system. Low-cost testing for heart failure has not been readily available for front-line physicians. With the development of AI-ECG algorithms, HeartSciences improves the early identification of patients that need additional testing, allowing earlier treatment and improved patient outcomes.
Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of HeartSciences, stated, “This patent allowance further expands our extensive AI-ECG IP portfolio. AI-ECG is set to change the detection of heart disease and this latest patent further bolsters value to HeartSciences and our stakeholders.”
