A Novel, Smartwatch-enabled, Automated Mobile Heart Rhythm Analysis Technology to Start Antiarrhythmic Medications Safely at Home - Abstract by 2030, More Than 12 Million Americans Will Suffer From Atrial Fibrillation (af), a Heart Arrhythmia Which Dramatically Increases Mortality and Risk of Stroke. Class Iii Antiarrhythmic Drugs (sotalol, Dofetilide) Prescribed to Treat Af Reduce Both Morbidity and Mortality, But Access to Them Is Restricted by the Hospitalization Period Required to Initiate Them. During This Time, Patient’s Hearts Are Monitored by Ecg to Observe Post-drug Effects of 6 Consecutive Drug Dosages Over 3 Days on the Corrected QT Interval (QTC) of the Ecg. This Interval Is the Primary Determinant of Torsades De Pointes (TDP) Risk; TDP Is a Rare But Life-threatening Fast Ventricular Rhythm Which Can Be Provoked by Aads. Safebeat RX Inc. Develops Technology That Allows Low-risk Atrial Fibrillation Patients to Reproduce This ‘drug Loading’ Procedure Outside a Hospital, and Thereby Start Heart Rhythm Medications Safely at Home by Titrating Drug Effects to QTC Changes – the Safebeat Kit Analyzes Post-drug Ecgs Taken by Patients at Home via a Machine Learning Algorithm, and Sends the Data to the Relevant Physicians, Who Can Modify or Continue Drug Dosages as Required. One Significant But Unresolved Problem Is That Heart Rhythms Have a Strong Circadian Variability, Often of the Same Magnitude as Drug Effects Themselves, Which Is Not Measured or Modeled During Drug Initiation. We Hypothesize That a Smartwatch With Ecg Measurement Capabilities Can Be Used to Differentiate These Circadian Effects From Drug Effects by Taking Several Measurements a Day. Specifically, (1) Circadian Effects in Af Patients Can Be Measured With Traditional Cardiac Telemetry Models (2) a Smartwatch Can Reproduce This Model and Demonstrate Clinically Equivalent Measurements, and (3) These Measurements Will Be Straightforward and Acceptable for Patients. Having Established These, a Planned Phase Ii Will Continue With Full Clinical Validation Sufficient to Apply for Fda 510K Clearance for a Circadian-adjusted QTC Model of Drug Safety Monitoring. Safebeat RX Inc. Is the First Company to Offer an In-home, Remote Monitoring Alternative to Drug Load Hospitalization. at Maximal Adoption, the Annual Us Beachhead Market of Low-risk, Early-adopting Patients Is Calculated at $1.7B for Af Alone. the Company Has Filed Key Ip Around This Proposition and Has Licensing Agreements With Hardware Companies to Enable Successful Scaling to Serve the Growing Af Population.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then unspent ceiling.
