Exhibit 99.1
HeartBeam Announces Strategic Shift to Accelerate
Global Adoption of its Ambulatory ECG Signal Platform and Leadership Transition
● Company will license its 3D ECG signal technology to established partners, moving beyond direct medical device sales
● Advancing toward heart attack detection as a key expansion of the platform
● Tailoring its technology to fit each market, while operating with a leaner, more focused structure
● Company to provide more details on strategy as part of Second Quarter 2026 conference call in August
SANTA CLARA, CA - June 24, 2026 - HeartBeam,
Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care by providing powerful cardiac insights, today
announced a reorganization to prioritize global market reach and capital efficiency while accelerating execution. The company has aligned
its operations around focused implementation teams which will be led by Branislav Vajdic, Ph.D., Founder and President, and Rich Ferrari,
Executive Chairman. The teams are focused on a single goal: to provide every at-risk cardiac patient access to HeartBeam’s groundbreaking
technology.
This structure streamlines decision-making, improves
accountability, and enables leadership to concentrate resources on achieving key milestones while maintaining disciplined management.
The reorganization is expected to sharpen the Company’s focus on delivering results and create a meaningfully lower cost structure.
As part of these changes, Robert Eno, former Chief Executive Officer, will transition to a consulting role for HeartBeam.
“Our mission is to drive widespread global
adoption of our breakthrough technology,” said Ferrari. “We thank Rob for bringing HeartBeam to this point, from securing
FDA clearances to establishing the commercial foundation that makes this next phase possible. Now, we are streamlining our operations
and broadening our reach so that this potentially life-changing system can get into the hands of as many patients as possible, as quickly
as possible.”
The reorganization will enable the company to
focus on the key deliverables which separate it from the crowded cardiac monitoring space, namely:
● An AI-ready signal, built for more than cardiac care. AI can only deliver actionable insight based
on the quality of the signal it is given. HeartBeam has built what it believes is the best ambulatory ECG signal-acquisition platform
— a data-rich 3D signal that is the input AI needs to move from inference to true detection. This broader platform strategy has
been made possible most recently by the rapid advance of AI: the Company can now extract remarkably accurate, clinical-grade recordings
directly from its groundbreaking 3D signal-acquisition and ECG processing platform — turning more than a decade of signal science
into an immediately actionable foundation. Moreover, the company believes this same signal quality can serve third-party AI platforms
being developed across medicine that depend on high-quality, real-world ECG data.
● Advancing toward heart attack detection. A central focus of this strategy is expanding HeartBeam’s
platform beyond arrhythmia assessment into reliable heart attack detection, which the company believes is one of the largest unmet needs
in cardiac care. The company continues to build the evidence base needed to pursue this expanded indication and believes this milestone
will make its device a must-have for every cardiac patient, with the potential to save millions of lives and billions of dollars in avoidable
medical costs.
● One platform, every market. HeartBeam intends to achieve global adoption by partnering its breakthrough
patented 3D ECG platform across the five channels that already have distribution — governments and national health systems, ECG
OEMs, Holter and patch manufacturers, health systems and integrated delivery networks, and consumer wearable companies — and by
adapting its technology to the form factor each use case requires. The company believes its technology can be adapted to multiple form
factors: a ruggedized unit that lets a rural health clinic triage a patient in minutes, an adhesive patch for longer-term monitoring,
a simpler form factor for an older or less agile patient, or a sleek, compact card an expert user slips into a wallet.
The company received FDA marketing clearance for
its synthesized 12-lead ECG signal for arrhythmia assessment in December 2025 giving physicians a familiar format they already trust.
The company believes this unique capability will be critical to adoption in many use cases.
“HeartBeam’s technology addresses a fundamental
gap in cardiac care: the ability to get a verified, clinical-grade ECG reading anywhere, at any time, without a clinic visit. With commercialization
underway, the company is positioned to make that capability routine for the millions of Americans living with or at risk for arrhythmia,”
said Dr. Vajdic. “At the same time, we will continue to conduct the previously announced clinical studies to accelerate the development
of our offering into a comprehensive detection platform for heart attack and other cardiac conditions beyond arrhythmia.”
About HeartBeam, Inc.
HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) is a medical technology
company dedicated to transforming the detection and monitoring of critical cardiac conditions. The Company has developed the first-ever
cable-free device capable of collecting ECG signals in 3D, from three non-coplanar directions, and synthesizing the signals into a 12-lead
ECG. This platform technology is designed for portable devices that can be used wherever the patient is to deliver actionable heart intelligence.
Physicians will be able to identify cardiac health trends and acute conditions and direct patients to the appropriate care – all
outside of a medical facility, thus redefining the future of cardiac health management. HeartBeam’s 3D ECG technology received FDA
clearance for arrhythmia assessment in December 2024, and the 12-Lead ECG synthesis software received FDA clearance for arrhythmia assessment
in December 20251. The Company holds over 20 issued patents related to technology enablement. For additional information, visit
