Imprivata Enterprise Access Management (EAM) now offers context-aware passwordless authentication, high-assurance identity verification, and AI-powered behavioral analytics, expanding the company’s leading solutions for supporting fast, frictionless access, stronger security and compliance, and improved operational efficiency.

“As the Australian healthcare market continues to embrace digital transformation, it is critical that care providers have fast, consistent access to the devices, applications, and resources they need to remain focused on delivering high-quality care,” said Fran Rosch, CEO of Imprivata. “Healthcare organisations in Australia continue to rely on Imprivata for this fast, frictionless access, and we are excited to bring innovative new capabilities to market to drive passwordless access and help meet evolving regulatory requirements such as the Essential Eight.”

Addressing Australia’s Essential Eight Requirements

Healthcare delivery continues to evolve rapidly across Australia, with digital transformation efforts aimed at boosting clinician productivity, reducing administrative burden and safeguarding sensitive patient information. At the same time, organisations face heightened expectations to implement robust cyber security controls consistent with the Essential Eight — a set of prioritised mitigation strategies designed to reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber-attack incidents. These strategies include multi-factor authentication (MFA), patching, least-privilege access, application hardening, and regular backups as a baseline for cyber resilience.

The new EAM functionality delivers frictionless, secure access that aligns with the operational realities of clinical environments while meeting key cyber security controls demanded by the Essential Eight:

  • Fast, Passwordless Access: Clinicians and care staff gain rapid access to clinical applications, shared workstations and mobile devices, reducing time spent on repetitive logins and password resets — a significant productivity drag in busy healthcare settings.
  • Optimised Shared Device Workflows: By streamlining transitions between users on shared workstations, Imprivata reduces disruption in care delivery and supports smoother clinical handovers, enabling clinicians to spend more time on patient-centric tasks rather than IT friction.
  • Unified Identity Across Systems: EAM unifies identity and authentication across disparate systems and applications, helping clinicians get seamless, context-appropriate access without compromising security or workflow continuity.
  • Robust Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): MFA is a cornerstone of the Essential Eight strategy and one of the most effective controls to prevent credential compromise and unauthorised access. Imprivata supports strong, phishing-resistant MFA using modern authentication methods — including biometrics, hardware tokens, and standards-based cryptographic factors — helping organisations meet the ASD’s expectations for secure authentication implementations.
  • Policy-Driven Access Controls: EAM enforces role-based and contextual access policies that support least-privilege access and help reduce risk exposure in line with Essential Eight-aligned security goals.
  • Audit-Ready Reporting: Detailed authentication and access logs help IT and security teams demonstrate control implementation and support maturity assessments against Essential Eight requirements.

HeartSciences Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

HeartSciences Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update




HeartSciences Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Southlake, Texas, March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HeartSciences Inc.  (Nasdaq: HSCS; HSCSW) (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”), a healthcare information technology (“HIT”) company focused on advancing electrocardiography (“ECG” or “EKG”) through the integration of artificial intelligence (“AI”), today reported financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended January 31, 2026 (“FQ3 2026”) and provided a business update.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

During the third quarter and subsequent period, the Company continued advancing the commercialization of its MyoVista Insights™ healthcare IT platform and submitted its MyoVista® wavECG™ device to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for 510(k) premarket clearance.

MyoVista Insights™ Healthcare IT Software Platform

  • Regulatory classification. MyoVista Insights is classified as a Medical Device Data System (“MDDS”), which carries significantly lower regulatory requirements than medical devices and is exempt from FDA 510(k) clearance. As a result, organizational costs and time to commercial rollout are expected to be substantially lower and faster than those associated with regulated medical devices.
  • Platform advancement. Since its early-adopter launch in 2025, the Company has implemented phased upgrades to MyoVista Insights. On March 13, 2026, HeartSciences released a significant version upgrade ahead of the American College of Cardiology (“ACC”) Annual Scientific Session, where the Company will exhibit and publicly introduce the platform to the broader cardiology and healthcare IT community. The upgrade includes mobile phone viewing, reporting enhancements, and significant interoperability improvements designed to support deployment across large health systems.
  • Commercial traction. During 2026 the Company’s objectives include establishing key reference sites and generating initial revenues. HeartSciences has already made commercial progress with reference installations and endorsement from a hospital network. Early feedback has been compelling, and the Company is currently in discussions with multiple health systems regarding deployment. Management expects to announce several key customer wins during 2026.
  • AI-ECG marketplace opportunity. In addition to generating per-test SaaS revenues as a secure cloud-based ECG data management system, MyoVista Insights is purpose-built to enable the integration of AI-ECG algorithms directly into routine clinical practice through an AI-ECG marketplace. The platform is designed to host third-party algorithms alongside HeartSciences’ own technologies. The Company is currently in discussions with several potential partners to host AI algorithms and believes this model positions HeartSciences to participate in a multi-billion-dollar AI-ECG market opportunity while reducing the cost and time required for algorithm development and regulatory clearance.
  • Investor demonstration. Following the public introduction of MyoVista Insights at the ACC Annual Scientific Session, the Company plans to host an investor call to demonstrate the platform and provide additional detail regarding its commercialization strategy and market opportunity.

MyoVista® wavECG™ Device

  • The Company submitted its MyoVista wavECG device to the FDA for 510(k) premarket clearance in December 2025.
  • HeartSciences elected to separate the FDA submissions for the MyoVista wavECG device and its impaired cardiac relaxation AI-ECG algorithm following updated guidance published by the American Society of Echocardiography (“ASE”) regarding the assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction (“LVDD”), including revised age-based thresholds for cardiac relaxation (e’).

Management Commentary

Andrew Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of HeartSciences, said, “We are making strong progress toward our 2026 objectives, including establishing reference sites, commencing revenue generation for MyoVista Insights, making AI algorithms available on the platform, and achieving best-in-class interoperability across hospital systems.”

Mr. Simpson added, “The submission of the MyoVista wavECG device to the FDA represents an important regulatory milestone and advances our broader strategy to modernize ECG through the integration of artificial intelligence.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

HeartSciences reported no meaningful revenue for FQ3 2026 as the Company continues to focus on commercialization of the MyoVista Insights platform.

As of January 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $3.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $2.7 million in shareholders’ equity.

Complete financial results are included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026, which has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on the Company’s website at www.heartsciences.com.

About HeartSciences

HeartSciences is a healthcare information technology (“HIT”) company advancing the use of ECG/EKGs through the integration of artificial intelligence (“AI”). The Company’s MyoVista Insights platform is a device-agnostic, next-generation ECG management system designed to improve clinical efficiency and decision-making.

Exousia Pro, Inc. Announces Favorable Litigation Settlement, Highlighting Significant Debt Elimination and Share Cancellation to Enhance Shareholder Value

ORLANDO, Fla., March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Exousia Pro, Inc. (OTCPK: MAJI), a clinical-stage biotechnology leader specializing in proprietary exosome-based delivery systems, today announced the successful settlement of its outstanding litigation involving a former Director. This landmark agreement represents a pivotal financial milestone for the Company, delivering immediate and substantial value to current shareholders by improving the capital structure and strengthening the balance sheet.

Under the terms of the settlement, which is expected to close within 30 days, Exousia Pro will make a one-time, strategic payment of $147,500 to the involved parties. In exchange, the Company will secure highly favorable financial restructuring outcomes.

For the purposes of the Company’s upcoming financial reporting and audits, these events will be recorded under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and will provide the following distinct benefits to the Company and its shareholders:

  • Significant Debt Reduction: The settlement triggers the complete cancellation of a $200,000 promissory note issued at closing, as well as the cancellation of the remaining balance on the note tied to the control block of Preferred Stock. Removing these liabilities immediately strengthens Exousia’s balance sheet and frees up future cash flow.
  • Reversal of Share Dilution: The agreement secures the cancellation and return to treasury of 6,297,511 shares of Common Stock. Retiring this sizable block of shares reverses prior dilution, directly increasing the equity value, earnings-per-share potential, and ownership percentage of all current shareholders.
  • Enhanced Audit Readiness and Transparency: By formally clearing these contested liabilities and equity issuances from the general ledger under GAAP, the Company is positioned for a clean, streamlined audit. This provides greater financial transparency and reinforces confidence within the investment community.

By resolving this legacy dispute efficiently, Exousia Pro’s management team can now focus entirely on advancing its core clinical pipeline and expanding its telehealth initiatives without the distraction or financial overhang of litigation.

About Exousia Pro, Inc. Exousia Pro, Inc. is a biotechnology company at the forefront of exosome research, focused on developing next-generation delivery systems for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Through its expanding telehealth division, the Company aims to bridge the gap between clinical innovation and patient access.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the timing of definitive agreements, the closing of the aforementioned settlement, and the expected benefits of financial restructuring and acquisitions. These statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
