MissionIRNewsBreaks – HeartBeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) Submits FDA Application for 12-Lead ECG Synthesis Software

HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company advancing cardiac care, has submitted a 510(k) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its 12-lead electrocardiogram (“ECG”) synthesis software. The software is designed to assess cardiac rhythms and arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, bradycardia, and tachycardia. The submission is supported by data from the VALID-ECG pivotal study, which enrolled 198 patients across five clinical sites and demonstrated clinical equivalence to standard 12-lead ECGs. HeartBeam recently secured FDA clearance for its patented technology that captures heart signals from three directions and synthesizes them into a traditional 12-lead ECG format. Upon approval, the company plans a commercial launch informed by its Early Access Program, which has already attracted strong physician and patient interest. CEO Robert Eno highlighted the software’s potential to transform cardiac monitoring outside medical facilities. Future advancements include AI-driven classification algorithms and heart attack detection to reduce “symptom to door” times, a key focus for the American Heart Association.

SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB) Conference Interview Highlights Tech Innovations to Better Safeguard Domestic Violence Victims

  • Electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology developer SuperCom is celebrating expansion in the United States at a record pace
  • EM tracking technology has become a popular alternative to incarceration for criminal justice officers dealing with domestic violence cases, because the EM option promotes cost savings for taxpayers and rehabilitation for domestic violence offenders
  • SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi underscored the company’s progress with data he discussed in a recent LD Micro Conference interview with SEQUIRE Spotlight
  • SuperCom has also been focusing on the expansion of its products and services in Europe, where contracts have included public safety monitoring projects in Romania, Finland, Estonia, and Sweden

A report issued last month on a study of domestic partner homicides within the Latino community noted that “in 2020, for all race and ethnicity groups, when the relationship of victims to homicide suspects was known, the suspects were current or former intimate partners of female (50.0%) and male victims (7.9%),” and that among Latinos / Hispanics jealousy was a factor for approximately half of male victims and an eighth of female victims (https://ibn.fm/2tjOe).

Included with other recent year-end findings about violence levels in communities throughout the world (https://ibn.fm/U8Mz4https://ibn.fm/3FPTR), the data serve as a reminder of the importance of providing strategies to combat domestic violence and prevent it from recurring.

Israel-based tracking technology developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is at the forefront of new innovations in products designed to help law enforcement officials establish safeguards against recurrent intimate partner violence that may escalate with fatal results.

“If somebody hits their wife or if a wife hits her husband, the police … if they see damage on the body, they’ll put a bracelet on immediately before there’s even a conviction because the bracelet is lightweight, long battery life, it doesn’t intrude or interfere in your life … and it basically enforces that the person doesn’t come close to the victim anymore — enforces the restraining order, essentially,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi said during an interview with the SEQUIRE Spotlight chat host at last year’s LD Micro 17th Annual Main Event Conference (https://ibn.fm/j4We6).

The bracelet Trabelsi described is the company’s best-of-breed PureOne tracking device, which pairs with the company’s PureShield mobile app alert technology — parts of the PureShield Domestic Violence Monitoring platform developed by SuperCom to notify law enforcement officers as well as potential domestic violence victims if a supervised individual trespasses boundaries established by that order.

“This gives the victims the confidence to actually complain and say that there’s something wrong going on,” Trabelsi said.

SuperCom has been expanding into new markets at a record pace for the company, signing 20 new contracts since last summer and establishing a presence in six states where the company’s products hadn’t been used before (https://ibn.fm/edXt2).

Aside from the obvious benefit of helping to protect someone from further abuse by an intimate partner, electronic monitoring (“EM”) of domestic violence suspects serves society by providing a less expensive alternative to taxpayer-sustained jails for restricting the suspect’s movements. In addition, the discreet use of EM supervision provides a potential rehabilitative effect by allowing the suspect to continue with employment or education and, to the extent allowed by the restraining order, to maintain a parenting role or other relationships within a family.

SuperCom’s recent focus has been to increase the presence of its products and services in Europe as well as the United States.

“We just won a project in Romania of over $33 million. We’re tracking up to 15,000 offenders every month, so over the course of a six-year project, we can help up to a million victims,” Trabelsi said. “And we’re in Finland and Estonia and Sweden and the U.S. and Canada. We continually win more and more projects around the world as we expand our business.”

Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) Is ‘One to Watch’

  • Proprietary R&D is led by a world-class team of medicinal chemists and industry veterans, ensuring innovative product development.
  • A first-to-market product, unbuzzd addresses a fast-expanding consumer category, with 300% growth expected by 2030.
  • Lucid-MS, a potential multi-billion-dollar asset, represents a significant breakthrough in the treatment of demyelinating diseases, supported by an expedited regulatory pathway.
  • Strategic equity and royalty agreements with Celly Nutrition for consumer-focused alcohol misuse treatments provide an additional revenue stream.
  • Quantum BioPharma is strategically positioned in two high-growth sectors: hangover remedies and MS therapeutics.

Quantum BioPharma (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative solutions to address neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders, as well as alcohol misuse. The company’s portfolio includes groundbreaking therapeutic candidates such as Lucid-MS, a patented compound targeting multiple sclerosis, and consumer-focused products like unbuzzd(TM), a novel alcohol detoxification beverage. Through strategic investments and a focused R&D model, Quantum BioPharma seeks to deliver meaningful health improvements while maximizing shareholder value.

The company’s vision is to revolutionize healthcare solutions for underserved markets, guided by a mission to enhance lives through science and innovation. By leveraging its expertise in medicinal chemistry and product commercialization through joint ventures, Quantum BioPharma aims to make significant strides in its targeted sectors.

Quantum BioPharma is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.

Lucid-MS

Lucid-MS is Quantum BioPharma’s flagship therapeutic candidate for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (“MS”). This new chemical entity (“NCE”) is the result of over 14 years of preclinical research and has demonstrated the potential to stop and even reverse myelin degradation, a known cause of MS. Unlike current treatments, Lucid-MS offers a neuroprotective approach without immunosuppression, addressing a critical unmet need in the MS market.

With nearly one million people in the U.S. living with MS and over 2.8 million cases globally, Lucid-MS targets a vast market with significant demand for better treatment options. In December 2024, Quantum BioPharma announced promising news from its ongoing phase 1 trial of Lucid-MS – a safety review committee recommended starting the dosing of the trial’s second cohort. Lucid-MS represents a transformative opportunity in the treatment of demyelinating diseases. The company is leveraging an expedited regulatory pathway to reach patients faster and has indicated that a phase 2 clinical trial is likely on the horizon.

Celly Nutrition and unbuzzd(TM)

Quantum BioPharma’s product portfolio is anchored by unbuzzd, a dietary supplement in both powder stick and 12 oz. RTD beverage formats, developed by Quantum and licensed to Celly Nutrition, designed to accelerate alcohol metabolism and restore mental alertness within minutes. This clinically tested first-to-market solution utilizes a proprietary blend of extracts, vitamins, and minerals to reduce blood alcohol concentration (“BAC”) and improve cognitive function post-alcohol consumption. Launched in August 2024, unbuzzd is part of a growing consumer market for hangover remedies, but unique with its effectiveness in rapidly reducing BAC.

The product’s innovative formulation sets it apart as the only clinically tested, effective dietary supplement beverage targeting alcohol detoxification. Its multi-channel distribution strategy includes direct-to-consumer sales through e-commerce platforms, retail partnerships, and on-premise marketing initiatives. Quantum BioPharma’s focus on consumer education and strategic partnerships positions unbuzzd for significant growth within the expanding hangover remedy market.

Market Opportunity

Quantum BioPharma operates in sectors with significant growth potential. The global market for hangover remedies was valued at $2.05 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 14.8%, reaching $6.2 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is fueled by increasing consumer demand for effective alcohol detoxification solutions and rising awareness of products like unbuzzd.

Similarly, the global multiple sclerosis market is projected to grow from $28.2 billion in 2022 to $41 billion by 2033, driven by advancements in treatment options and an increasing prevalence of MS cases worldwide.

Quantum BioPharma’s dual focus on consumer health products and high-value therapeutics uniquely positions it to capitalize on these opportunities. Its strategic investments and innovative R&D pipeline provide a competitive edge in addressing unmet needs in both markets.

Leadership Team

Zeeshan Saeed, CEO and Co-Founder of Quantum BioPharma, has extensive experience in international capital markets and a proven track record of successfully assisting startups in raising initial funding. Under his leadership, Quantum BioPharma has developed a robust portfolio of innovative products and strategic investments.

Gerry David, Director and Co-Chair of Celly Nutrition, brings decades of experience in consumer-packaged goods (“CPG”) and is best known for his tenure as CEO of Celsius Holdings. During his leadership, he increased the company’s valuation by 35-fold, surpassing $9 billion. His expertise in scaling product distribution programs has been instrumental to Quantum BioPharma’s strategic initiatives.

John Duffy, CEO of Celly Nutrition, has over two decades of leadership experience in the Coca-Cola system, where he served as Vice President of National Sales. His expertise in customer management and sales strategy is driving the success of unbuzzd’s market rollout.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) Reports Increase in Fiscal Year 2024 Bookings and First-Ever Customer Purchase of an Advantage(TM) Quantum Computer

  • D-Wave bookings for fiscal year 2024 will exceed $23 million, marking at least a 120% increase compared to fiscal year 2023, an increase driven in part by first-ever customer purchase of a D-Wave(TM) Advantage annealing quantum computing system.
  • The company also announced the successful completion of a $150 million “at-the-market” (“ATM”) equity offering, contributing to a current cash balance of approximately $320 million.
  • The Advantage quantum computer purchase represents an expansion of the company’s revenue model as a result of broadening its go-to-market offering to include on-premises system sales.
  • CEO Dr. Alan Baratz emphasized that the company believes the world is quickly recognizing the near-term usefulness and value of D-Wave’s quantum systems.

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services, and the first commercial provider of quantum computers, reported a 120%+ increase in bookings for fiscal year 2024 compared to 2023 figures. According to a company news release, bookings for fiscal year 2024 exceed $23 million, an increase driven by several major milestones including the first-ever customer purchase of a D-Wave Advantage annealing quantum computer (https://ibn.fm/9aHB5).

Bookings during Q4 of fiscal year 2024 will be at least $18 million, an increase of approximately 500% over prior fiscal year 2023 Q4 bookings of $3 million. The company ended fiscal year 2024 with a record cash position of approximately $178 million in cash.

In addition, D-Wave recently announced the successful completion of a $150 million ATM equity offering (the “ATM Program”). The $150 million ATM Program commenced on January 15th and ended on January 21st, with an average per share price of $6.10, representing a $0.22 per share, or 3.7%, premium over the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of D-Wave’s common stock during the same timeframe. The company’s current cash balance is approximately $320 million, which the company believes provides the capital necessary to fully execute its operating plan to sustained profitability and positive cash flow.

The D-Wave Advantage system is the world’s largest quantum computer with more than 5,000 qubits and 15-way connectivity. The first customer purchase of the system highlights the growing adoption of D-Wave’s annealing quantum technology and represents a significant expansion in the company’s revenue model as a result of broadening its go-to-market offering to include on-premise system sales.

The purchase of an on-premise system provides the customer complete access to all aspects of the Advantage quantum computer, including the ability to modify system parameters and integrate the system in ways that were previously unavailable. The move comes as D-Wave has seen a growing demand for on-premise quantum systems from research centers, academic institutions, HPC centers, and leading-edge businesses looking to accelerate competitive differentiation, bolster national security, and explore how quantum computing can address challenges resulting from AI’s escalating power consumption.

The on-premise infrastructure offering is complementary to D-Wave’s Leap(TM) quantum cloud service, an approach that the company believes will continue to be preferred by many application-focused customers. 

According to Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, the company believes it is evident that the world is quickly recognizing the near-term usefulness and value of D-Wave’s quantum systems. “With remarkable growth in bookings, our first Advantage system sale and an increasing number of customer applications moving into production, in our view, D-Wave is clearly driving the commercialization of quantum computing,” Dr. Baratz said. “While others remain in the research and development mode, we are delivering incredibly powerful technology and products to customers today, helping them tackle their tough computational problems faster, better and with less energy.”

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) Rising to Supply the Demand for PGMs

  • The rise of hybrid electric vehicles and advancements in hydrogen technologies are creating opportunities for platinum and palladium.
  • Platinum Group Metals Ltd. is uniquely positioned to benefit from favorable market trends.
  • The company is focused on advancing its Waterberg Project, which is expected to be a key supplier of platinum and palladium.

The platinum group metals (“PGMs”), including platinum, palladium and rhodium are poised for growth in 2025, driven by demand in the automotive, hydrogen-energy and industrial sectors. These positive projections bode well for companies operating in the space, including Platinum Group Metals (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM), majority owner and operator of the Waterberg PGM Project in South Africa.

Global initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, the rise of hybrid electric vehicles and advancements in hydrogen technologies are creating robust opportunities for these metals. The global platinum market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 4.5% from 2024 to 2033, increasing from a base market size of $7.10 billion in 2024 to $10.55 billion in 2033 (https://ibn.fm/TeNVb).

The automotive sector is expected to remain the largest consumer of PGMs, driven by their roles in catalytic converters and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Platinum plays a critical role in the hydrogen economy, particularly in fuel cell electric vehicles, where it acts as a key catalyst. Demand for platinum in hydrogen production and storage systems is expected to surge as countries accelerate green-energy transitions (https://ibn.fm/uLBCd).

A notable shift is forecast for palladium in 2025 as the substitution trend where palladium replaces platinum in autocatalysts is expected to reverse (https://nnw.fm/cEefj). This change could stabilize platinum demand while maintaining palladium’s importance in vehicle emissions control.

Platinum Group Metals, a company at the forefront of PGM exploration and development, is uniquely positioned to benefit from these favorable market trends. The company’s flagship Waterberg Project in South Africa is a large-scale resource designed to supply palladium, platinum, rhodium and gold as well as copper and nickel for the global markets.

The company is focused on advancing its Waterberg Project, which is expected to be a key low cost supplier of palladium and platinum. The project emphasizes sustainability and cost-efficiency, critical factors for ensuring long-term success in a competitive market. The company has also leveraged partnerships with stakeholders and regional governments to enhance the project’s development. This collaborative approach seeks alignment with local economic goals while supporting global PGM needs.

With a positive market outlook for platinum group metals in 2025, fueled by advancements in green energy and clean automotive technologies, Platinum Group Metals is well-positioned to play an important role. The company’s strategic focus on sustainable development and its Waterberg Project illustrate its preparations to meet growing global demand. As industries continue to prioritize decarbonization, the PGM sector is set to experience a transformative year, with both platinum and palladium leading the charge.

SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB) Sees Record Pace of Contract Growth with New Electronic Monitoring Wins in South Dakota, Kentucky, Alabama, and Ohio

  • Electronic monitoring (“EM”) has become popular with criminal justice officials as a means of tracking the whereabouts of individuals and supervising their movements within court-authorized boundaries while the individuals are free from jail custody
  • EM tech developer SuperCom recently celebrated its record pace of contract growth throughout the U.S. with the announcement of new agreements in South Dakota, Kentucky, Alabama, and Ohio, for monitoring the location of court-supervised individuals
  • SuperCom is particularly focused on fighting domestic violence and the potential for renewed violence after someone is initially detained, using the company’s proven technology to track individuals’ movements and alert law enforcement as well as potential victims if boundaries are breached
  • The newest contracts bring SuperCom’s recent tally up to 20 since the summer of 2024

Public safety tracking technology developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is expanding the use of its electronic monitoring products throughout the United States, with the company announcing the 20th contract signed with the nation’s law enforcement agencies since the summer of 2024.

SuperCom has served over 50 government agencies around the world since its founding in 1988, delivering a variety of superior electronic tracking products and services. The company’s particular focus has been on electronic monitoring of offenders and recently expanded its efforts to monitor the movements of individuals under restricted release that is connected to domestic violence incidents. The recent announcements underscore the company’s success in competing against other providers in the niche market in Europe and the U.S. during recent months.

The latest four contract awards were announced within just the past month:

  • (Dec. 30) –  SuperCom Secures New Contracts with South Dakota Sheriff Agencies, Accelerating U.S. Expansion https://ibn.fm/nbweY
  • (Jan. 2) –  SuperCom Secures Two New Agency Contracts in Kentucky, Displacing Incumbent Competitors https://ibn.fm/smw2X
  • (Jan. 6) –  SuperCom Secures First Contract in Alabama, Rapid U.S. Expansion Continues  https://ibn.fm/foKOQ
  • (Jan. 13) –  SuperCom Secures First Agency Contract in Ohio, Rapid U.S. Expansion Continues  https://ibn.fm/R5gDr

According to SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi “Our U.S. solution benefits from key efficiencies, including a cloud-based infrastructure, a single-language system, centralized operations and logistics, and no reliance on subcontractors. … This milestone underscores the growing demand for our advanced solutions and highlights the trust public safety agencies place in SuperCom.”

SuperCom’s PureProtect Domestic Violence Monitoring technologies, recently rebranded as the best-of-breed PureOne tracking bracelet and the companion PureShield mobile app alert technology, include advanced features such as real-time location tracking, anti-tamper mechanisms, and secure communication channels to protect victims and provide transparency about offenders’ activities.

Victims and law enforcement officers are alerted through seamless GPS, RFID, cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology coordination if an offender trespasses boundary locations established by the judicial system.

“After reaching impressive annual growth above 50% driven by our wins in Europe, we launched our new technology tailored for the U.S. market,” Trabelsi stated. “The U.S. electronic monitoring market, multiples larger than the European one and projected to reach $1.8 billion by 2028, offers unmatched growth opportunities.”

In addition to providing peace of mind to domestic violence victims, the platform can help court systems reduce pressure on prison populations and encourage reform among criminals by helping them to remain productive in society while their activities are supervised by law enforcement.

Such potential is the reason electronic monitoring is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, with about 40 countries using it for public safety efforts as of a few years ago (https://ibn.fm/rc5y3).
