In the future, we envision our cardiac AI model’s capacities will empower us to assist healthcare experts in efficiently managing a significantly higher patient load while discerning the most vital data points. This advancement will enable healthcare providers to enhance the caliber of care they deliver while catering to a more extensive patient base.Looking towards the rest of CY 2023, our focus remains four-fold: to increase sales of our remote cardiac monitoring solutions, ramp-up of our subscription-based service, accelerate our recurring revenue, and continue to draw a clear path to profitability.”
