Company overview

HeartBeam is a Santa Clara, California-based cardiac-device company incorporated in 2015 and listed on Nasdaq as BEAT. Its portable ECG recorder and synthesis software support clinician assessment of specified non-life-threatening arrhythmias in adults.

The company reported first shipments and patient onboarding in 2026. Its September strategy update describes focused, limited U.S. commercialization while pursuing partners rather than building a large sales and distribution organization.

Heart-attack assessment and an extended-wear ECG patch remain development programs. HeartBeam reported Breakthrough Device Designation for heart-attack assessment in October 2026; that designation does not expand the currently cleared arrhythmia indications.

Products & regulatory status How does MedTechIndex get this information?

Summary

HeartBeam has two 510(k) decisions covering its ECG platform and synthesized 12-lead ECG software for arrhythmia assessment. Company disclosures confirm the December 2025 software clearance despite stale conflicting homepage text. Heart-attack detection remains investigational; the 2026 pilot work is intended to inform a future pivotal study and submission, not an already-cleared indication. [5][13][14][1][2][21]

No matching FDA recall event was identified in the completed company/applicant, linked-identifier and product-name searches. [23][24]
