PLEASANTON, Calif., May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Movano Health (Nasdaq: MOVE), a purpose-driven healthcare solutions company at the intersection of medical and consumer devices and makers of the Evie Ring, reported financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and provided a business update.

Key highlights from the first quarter and recent weeks include:

  • The Company announced publicly for the first time that it plans to make the Evie Ring available for purchase in September 2023 for $269 with no subscription. 
  • Movano Health’s regulatory team continues to make good progress on its 510(k) submission for the Evie Ring’s heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) data and plans to submit the required documentation to the FDA in June 2023. The Company is prepared to launch the Evie Ring as a wellness device and then transition to a medical device later on if it has not received a decision from the FDA by its planned launch date.
  • In the four months since announcing the Evie Ring at CES in January 2023, the Company has used a combination of organic press and a strategic multi-channel paid and organic social campaign to attract nearly 500,000 website visits and more than 80,000 people have signed up to receive updates about the Evie Ring. The impressive lead list combined with a strong engagement rate on social media is a very positive sign for conversion potential.
  • Movano Health completed its first set of beta programs with four partners, providing the Company with valuable feedback that is being implemented to enhance the Evie Ring user experience.
  • The Company is preparing to commence a second round of beta programs by early July 2023 with a new group of partners, including a global athletic apparel company and two additional leading global medical device companies.
  • As of tomorrow, the Company will have completed a three-week blood pressure clinical trial, which included more than 50 subjects and incorporated for the first time the Company’s proprietary radio-frequency (RF) single-chip solution. Movano Health expects to analyze the results of the blood pressure clinical study through the remainder of the second quarter and plans to conduct a glucose clinical trial using the same RF enabled technology in the near future.

“It has only been 18 months since we made the strategic decision to commercialize a smart ring designed for women that qualifies for FDA clearance. To go from ideation to a well-designed and medical-grade wearable solution at such a rapid pace has been no small feat,” said John Mastrototaro, CEO of Movano Health. “We’re working through the final stages of development before the planned commercial launch in September, and we’re excited to share the comprehensive and differentiated solution with the world. We carefully considered the right time for a commercial launch and believe September gives us time to ensure we’re putting out a high quality, well-tested product while also balancing speed to market and seasonality. Launching Evie will be a massive step in building the foundation of our platform to provide people with the essential data they need to understand the full picture of their health.”

Movano Health details more information on the key highlights from the first quarter of 2023 and recent weeks below:

Today, the Company announced that it plans to make the Evie Ring available for purchase in September of this year for a flat fee of $269 with no subscription. Movano Health believes this launch timing and highly competitive and attractive price point will set the Company up for success once the device is ready for sale.

The Company is making good progress on its first 510(k) submission to the FDA for heart rate and SpO2 data and expects to make the submission in June 2023. In its Q4 2022 pivotal hypoxia study, the Evie Ring’s heart rate and SpO2 accuracy measurements were in line with the FDA’s requirements. Recently the Company completed a more comprehensive heart rate evaluation on the bench per FDA guidelines to evaluate the system in measuring heart rates from 40 to 240 beats per minute. The results demonstrated excellent accuracy with errors of less than 1 beat per minute.  The September timing of the Evie Ring launch may or may not sync with an FDA clearance. Regardless, Movano Health is prepared to launch the Evie Ring as a wellness device and then transition to a medical device upon receiving clearance.

Interest in the Evie Ring has far exceeded the Company’s expectations. Announcing Evie at The Consumer Electronics Show in January 2023 ignited strong interest, and now Movano Health is building upon that earned awareness with a strategic multi-channel paid and organic social campaign. In the four months since the Evie Ring was announced, close to half a million people have visited EvieRing.com and over 80,000 people have signed up for the Evie newsletter. This demand signals potential for a strong conversion rate once the device is ready for sale. To bolster the upcoming launch of the Evie Ring and continue to grow its follower base, Movano Health plans to invest in influencer partnerships, celebrity endorsements, gifting, ad campaigns and content creation and is building a panel of expert medical advisors to lend their expertise on future product features.

The Company completed its first set of Evie Ring beta programs with four partners including Novant Health, Stanford University, a major global pharmaceutical company and a leading patient-focused medical device company. The beta programs have been a critical exercise in readying the Evie Ring for commercialization.

Movano Health is incorporating the learnings from the first beta into a second round of beta programs, which are set to commence by early July 2023 and will include a global athletic apparel company and two additional leading global medical device companies.

In addition to preparing for the commercialization of the Evie Ring, Movano Health is also advancing its proprietary and patented System-on-a-Chip, which uses radio frequency technology to estimate blood pressure without a cuff and blood glucose non-invasively. Over the past three weeks, ending tomorrow, Movano Health will have completed its first blood pressure clinical trial using the single chip solution on more than 50 volunteers at the Movano Health Clinical Lab. Analysis of the results will take place over the next few weeks, and the Company expects the quality of the data signals to be a meaningful improvement over previous prototypes, allowing for further refinement of blood pressure algorithms. Movano Health is planning to use the same single chip prototype in a glucose clinical trial in late spring or early summer.
