the pitch
We are Future Cardia (Oracle Health, Inc.) - Bringing you a tiny insertable cardiac monitor for a long-term heart failure monitoring solution to disrupt the $5B market and to set the stage for Connected Implants. Our approach is a simple 2-minute office procedure that brings simplicity, accuracy, high compliance for long-term monitoring, and existing insurance coverage. We are actively testing and manufacturing our products, and are part of programs like Stanford StartX and Johnson & Johnson JLabs. We are backed by strong investors like Sand Hill Angels, and have previously raised $8 million.
OVERVIEW
Cardiologists and Patients Deserve a Better Option
Patients and Cardiologists lack viable monitoring solutions for Heart Failure.
Future Cardia is designed to provide comprehensive long term data and analysis to doctors, Future Cardia also aims to build the largest collection of long-term cardiac data to improve the lives of patients.
- Detects early signs of Heart Failure problems before symptoms
- Pre-clinical testing with 26 heart failure patients
- Pre-clinical Lab Implants at Duke University
- World Renown physicians from Harvard, Stanford, The OSU, and Maastricht joined
- Using ECG and Heart Sounds as biomarkers for patients suffering from long-term cardiac diseases.
THE PROBLEM
Heart Failure Emergencies are a $40 Billion a Year Problem*
A lack of remote Heart Failure monitoring solutions makes it difficult for heart failure patients and healthcare providers to address emergencies. As a chronic disease, our patients and physicians are stuck between real emergencies and false alarms, resulting in referral to the Emergency Department and subsequent admission to the hospital, even if it is a false alarm.
Heart failure is a cardiac condition that often results in breathing problems and frequent hospitalizations. Heart Failure patients have weakened heart muscle. As the heart begins to fail, fluid slowly accumulates in the lungs, which can lead to sudden and severe breathing problems.
In the US alone, six million patients suffer from Heart Failure. Canada and Europe are facing the same problem. Because of the lack of a remote monitoring solution for Heart Failure, patients are referred to the ER and subsequently hospitalized, even if it is a false alarm.
Invasive heart procedure devices such as CardioMems by Abbott are the current standard. This device requires a sensor implant inside the heart or around the heart (Pulmonary Artery) in a cath lab procedure. Accurate, however, they are expensive, complex and are not the ideal solution for all patients.
Wearable monitors are ideal for short-term solutions, however, they suffer from low accuracy, patient non-compliance, and limited data. Therefore, they have a limited use when it comes to long-term Heart Failure monitoring.
THE MARKET
$5 Billion Total Addressable Market Opportunity
Initially, Future Cardia will focus on the one million patients suffering from heart failure, who are in immediate need of remote monitoring solutions. Eventually, we hope to reach all six million Americans who suffer from heart failure.
THE SOLUTION
A Cardiac Monitor Using Remote Monitoring Technology and AI
Future Cardia is developing a tiny, insertable cardiac device to monitor Heart Failure and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations. The device utilizes multi-sensors, remote monitoring technology and cloud based Artificial Intelligence for long-term comprehensive cardiac monitoring.
This is a simple 2-minute office procedure that does not require a follow up, saving time for both patients and cardiologists. The device is inserted under the skin for improved accuracy, and does not require invasive surgery that other implanted devices do.
*Product images are computer-generated demo versions of a product currently under development.
*The Company's smart phone app is currently in beta development and not currently available for general use.
By tracking trends in ECG and Heart Sounds readings, physicians can detect heart failure decompensation before the onset of symptoms. This gives them actionable data to steer the patient away from further complications.
Billions of data points for a comprehensive long term cardiac monitoring solution
Future Cardia is developing a compact cardiac device that is inserted subcutaneously (under the skin) in a two-minute office procedure. Once administered, each device yields billions of data points, allowing healthcare providers to compare trending changes over 2-3 years for continuous cardiac monitoring. As Future Cardia collects more data, the analysis will improve through the use of machine learning and AI using ECG and Heart Sounds as biomarkers for Cardiology.
Our product relies on three main features:
1. An ECG to record electrical activities of the heart
2. An acoustic sensor to listen to the heart and lung sounds,
3. And an Accelerometer to record activity.
Our device has high patient compliance over the long-term, because patients do not need to follow a complex process to monitor their cardiac health.
Recorded cardiac data is securely transmitted to a smartphone, then to a cloud-based Artificial Intelligence algorithm for analysis, which the cardiologist can then review and take action.
By analyzing electrical and physiological trends, Future Cardia detects subtle changes and early signs of cardiac decline even before symptoms appear. This allows clinicians to prioritize at-risk patients, implement therapeutic interventions, and prevent hospitalizations.
WHY INVEST
Short Regulatory Path with Existing Insurance Coverage of $7,600 / Device for Commercialization
Future Cardia has a simple go-to-market plan. First, we will focus on two highest volume regions, Texas and Florida. We expect Texas and Florida to generate $5.5 million within two years of launch. Each unit will retail for $5,300/unit with an established reimbursement of $7,600 (insurance coverage). With this business model, we anticipate that our first 5K implants will generate $26M in revenue within approximately 4 years.
Second, we will obtain the most comprehensive, long-term cardiac data to date as biomarkers for cardiology. This will allow Future Cardia to venture into predictions for cardiac events, and human longevity study.

QUESTIONS FROM A PHYSICIAN INVESTOR
Dear StartEngine Investor Community,
I received an excellent set of comments and questions from a Med Tech investor that I would like to share with you.
Who is the Incumbent? Hello Dr. Friedman. Currently, CardioMems (acq for $455M in 2014) by Abbott is the incumbent. It require a sensor implant INSIDE THE HEART in a cath lab procedure. Although accurate, they are expensive, complex and not for everyone.
Why are you better? Future Cardia on other hand brings a simpler procedure, multi-sensors to monitor heart using ECG and Heart Sounds, and existing insurance coverage. We have a huge advantage, because it is a short 12 months regulatory. We are using a pacemaker technology with a 2-minute office procedure.
How do you do it? We use heart sounds and ECG to assess the heart. - We are using Multi-Sense clinical trial as the foundation of our technology. It is based on 900 Heart Failure patients with implanted cardiac devices, that showed higher accuracy with advanced notification well before the symptoms arise.
Why not Wearables? Wearables are ideal for short term monitoring or as a consumer electronics. However, overall patient compliance drops to near ZERO, after several months of use. So, they are not used for long term solution.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
