HeartBeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care, announced that a peer-reviewed article in JACC: Advances demonstrated that a risk prediction algorithm incorporating the credit card-sized HeartBeam ECG device can accurately identify heart attack risk in patients presenting with chest pain. The proof-of-concept study, which evaluated 184 patients, found that the algorithm achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 86.5% using a single HeartBeam ECG reading combined with patient risk factors and symptoms. This increased to 92.9% when a personal, symptom-free baseline ECG was available for comparison.
The company stated that the results support heart attack detection as a future indication for the HeartBeam System and advance its broader clinical program. HeartBeam is creating the first-ever cable-free device capable of collecting ECG signals in 3D from three non-coplanar directions and synthesizing them into a 12-lead ECG. This platform technology is designed for portable devices that can deliver actionable heart intelligence wherever the patient is, allowing physicians to identify cardiac health trends and acute conditions and direct patients to appropriate care outside of a medical facility.
The HeartBeam System with 12-Lead ECG synthesis software for arrhythmia assessment received FDA clearance in December 2025. The company holds over 20 issued patents related to its technology.

This study highlights the potential of portable ECG technology to improve early detection of heart attacks, which could significantly reduce time to treatment and improve patient outcomes. The ability to use a personal baseline ECG for comparison increases diagnostic accuracy, suggesting that routine baseline recordings could become standard practice. As HeartBeam continues to develop its platform, the implications for remote cardiac monitoring and emergency care are substantial.
