Overview

We are a medical device company preparing to commercialize breakthrough computerized analysis technology that enhances clinicians’ capabilities in diagnosing neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. NSI’s first product, GyriCalc is a proprietary, patented software solution specifically designed to assist in the diagnosis of autism by identifying early structural markers of neurodevelopmental differences through the automated analysis of MRI images.

NSI’s initial market focus will be the United States and Canada. In the U.S., we filed for marketing clearance with the FDA in early March 2025 and anticipate receiving approval during 2025. In Canada, where no regulatory approval is required, we recognize the political nature of the healthcare industry and will prioritize strategic discussions with influential government departments and non-profit organizations to ensure a successful market entry.

Currently, NSI does not generate any revenue. Our primary focus is on successfully launching GyriCalc for autism and establishing a foothold in the U.S. and Canadian markets.

While GyriCalc currently focuses on autism, NSI envisions expanding its applications to support clinicians in diagnosing other conditions, such as dyslexia, ADHD, and schizophrenia. Plans to develop GyriCalc for these additional markets will be considered in Q4 2025 after the successful launch of the product for autism. This phased approach underscores our commitment to delivering high-impact solutions that address critical clinical needs.

The Company was incorporated in 2016 and in 2018 entered into an agreement with the University of Louisville, Kentucky, which awarded the Company an exclusive worldwide license to the technology underlying the Company’s product. Thereafter, activities were primarily focused on raising capital and developing the professional resources required for future commercialization. Software engineering efforts began in 2022 and accelerated throughout 2023 and 2024, accompanied by clinical trials in preparation for submission to the FDA. During 2023, 2024 and the first quarter in 2025 we incurred net losses of approximately $788,000, $2,649,000 and $397,000, respectively, due to personnel and professional services expenses and product development costs.

Our Product

GyriCalcTM is a patented, proprietary computerized algorithm which measures predetermined human brain regions for specific surface characteristics. Images of these brain regions are captured by generally available structural magnetic resonance imagers (“MRI”). The MRI scan typically takes 15 to 20 minutes.

When GyriCalcTM is applied to the MRI scan, it conducts an analysis and generates a detailed report, in minutes, of the brain surface characteristics measured and the degree these characteristics correlate to the reference data set for typical (normal) brains. The report is provided directly to the ordering clinician.

The specific regions of the cerebral cortex and their surface characteristics (known as “gyri” and “sulci”) correlate to autism as determined through years of research study within the University of Louisville Bioimaging Laboratory, Bioengineering Department in conjunction with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science and the Norton Children’s Autism Center. (sources include: “Reduced Gyral Window and Corpus Callosum Size in Autism: Possible Macroscopic Correlates of a Minicolumnopathy”, Casanova, et al, J Autism Dev Discord [January 2009] with corresponding references; and “Spherical Harmonic Analysis of Cortical Complexity in Autism and Dyslexia”, Williams, et al, Transl Neurosci, [March 2012] with corresponding references) The algorithm achieved an autism identification rate of 94%1. (primary source: “Towards Personalized Autism Diagnosis: Promising Results”, ElNakieb, et al, International Conference on Pattern Recognition, [August 2018] with corresponding references)

NeuroSpectrum Insights has an exclusive commercialization license with the University of Louisville for this technological advancement.

Our Strategy

NeuroSpectrum Insights will market GyriCalcTM to clinicians at a predetermined list price per patient MRI scan report. The MRI scan will be ordered by the practitioner and paid for by the patient which in most instances will be covered by medical insurance coverage.

Our business plan foresees the introduction of GyriCalc to the market during the second half of 2025. Revenues are determined by the number of tests ordered by physicians and other clients for evaluation of patients’ MRI scans for the presence of certain neurological markers. Our projections consider current data for the prevalence of autism and our assessment of the attractiveness of the introduction of GyriCalc’s high degree of objectivity into current diagnostic processes.

The average price for a brain MRI in the United States is ~$1,0002. At a projected list price of $1,500 per patient we estimate a 5-Year Revenue Projection (~35% of annual projected market at 5 years).

1 Shape Analysis of the Human Brain by Matthew Joseph Nitzken B.S., University of Louisville, 2009; M. Eng., University of Louisville, 2010.

The UCLA database was collected from individuals between the ages of 8 to 17 years of age, with an average age of 13 years. Subjects were evaluated using the WISC, ADOS, and by medical professionals to determine a diagnosis. All scans were acquired using the MP RAGE, three-dimensional, T1-weighted, gradient-echo sequence. The results for the UCLA database showed an overall accuracy of 94.36%. Assuming negative for diagnosing autism and positive for determining neurotypical, the test sensitivity (TPR) is 0.900, the specificity (SPC) is 0.976, the positive predictive value (PPV) is 0.964, and the negative predictive value (NPV) is 0.930.

The method was tested on a large number of subjects spread across multi-center databases. The testing confirmed that the software was capable of accurately making a diagnosis of autism in a wide range of individuals. Results for the testing data sets achieved accuracies of 88.89% for the KKI database, 94.36% for the UCLA database, 88.18% for the UM database, 95.65% for the Conturo database, and 97.29% for the IBIS database.

Our Market Opportunity

According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA) the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is arrived at by a clinician following the guidelines within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR); Section: Autism Spectrum Disorder-Diagnostic Criteria — 299.0 (F84.0). Clinicians following these guidelines arrive at what is referred to as a “clinical diagnosis” of this particular neurodevelopment disorder, ASD. Medical insurance carriers require, in most cases, such a diagnostic finding in order to pay for the therapeutic, interventional services needed to support a person with autism.

The clinicians who are trained and qualified to carry out this clinical evaluation include:

A. First line practitioners:

1. Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrician (MD)s

• There are ~ 700 of these physicians in the United States according to the American Board of Pediatrics

2. Pediatric Neurologists (MDs)

• There are between 2,000 and 2,500 of these physicians in the United States according to the Child Neurology Society (CNS)

3. Pediatric Neuropsychologists (PhDs)

• Estimates of the number of specialists vary widely.

• Those with the board certification by the American Board of Professional Psychology(ABPP) in clinical neuropsychology represent a notable subsegment recognized for their expertise in diagnostic development disorders such as autism.

• This certification covers all age ranges and includes ~1,400 practitioners

B. Secondary practitioners

4. Pediatricians (MDs)

• There are ~ 35,000 of these physicians in the United States according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)

• the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) has collected survey data from over 42,000 physicians certified in general pediatrics and pediatric subspecialties between 2019 and 2023.

Table of Contents

• General pediatricians are considered the first line of potential professional interaction with a child suspected of having autism. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)recommends that all children be screened for ASD at 18 and 24 months of age using standardized, validated tools.

• If a child shows signs of developmental delays or is identified as at increased risk for ASD through screening or surveillance, the AAP advises that the child be referred promptly for a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and early intervention services.

• Such referrals typically include: developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, and pediatric neuropsychologists. In some instances, a very experienced pediatrician can make the diagnosis, particularly when the symptoms observed are acute and obvious.

5. Pediatric Psychiatrists (MDs)

• There are ~11,000 of these clinicians in the United States according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP)

• Due to the importance of verbal skills, developmental maturity, and recurring interactions over time in the practice of psychiatry, psychiatrists are not viewed by most autism experts as the first line for diagnosing toddlers

This comparatively small number of practitioners, combined with the subjective observational nature of assessment (current standard of care), is another contributing factor to long lead times for diagnosis. Additionally, these practitioners assess a wide range of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. Yet, it is these clinicians that are the stage gate for getting insurance coverage needed to support the cost of autism interventional therapies.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) estimates that one in 36 children, by the age of eight, will be diagnosed with autism. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, between 2020 and 2022, United States annual live births have plateaued at 3.7 million. At a 1/36 rate, the projected number of new cases of autism over the forecast years is approximately 100,000 per year. While the projected number of cases is relatively small compared to the estimated number of diagnosing clinicians, we believe that the crux of the problem is screening 3.7 million candidates each year. As reported by Okoye, et al in “Early Diagnosis of ASD: Review and Analysis of the Risks and Benefits”, Cureous (August 9, 2023), “The National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDD) recommends that children undergo screenings at nine months, 18 months, and 24 or 30 months. The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) proposes that autism screening be included in standard 18- and 24-month checkups”. Additionally, “The CDC’s developmental milestones are guidelines for parents and healthcare providers to help track a child’s development from birth to five years old”.

Additionally, screening isn’t diagnosing. It is an essential first step that falls to general pediatricians, parents, caregivers all with highly variable experiences and skills. This too is a significant contributing factor in delayed diagnosis. In a future envisioned market where an objective GyriCalcTM “test” would be as common as a blood test, greater screening compliance could be achieved together with greater detection precision.

Our Competitive Strengths

For autism, there is no currently available, objective, physiological “test” that can assist the clinician at arriving at a more definitive conclusion regarding autism. We believe that GyriCalcTM may be found by the FDA to be the first of its kind objective test bringing to the industry detection precision long sought after.

There are a number of testing protocols currently used involving individual practitioner observational studies. The “gold standard” is considered to be the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule™, Second Edition (ADOS®-2). Administered by a trained, experienced clinician, this assessment typically takes several hours. However, according to the Child Neurology Foundation, the number of practitioners is at least 20% below national leads, resulting in potentially long lead times for appointments.

Table of Contents

While the ADOS®-2 is highly regarded by researchers because of its sensitivity and specificity, it is not regarded as an ideal instrument. In a publication from the Child Mind Institute, Susan Epstein, PhD and Catherine Lord, PhD address ADOS®-2 limitations including: “it can miss individuals with subtle autism symptoms, particularly in high-functioning individuals or females, potentially leading to false negatives; it can also produce false positives in individuals with other mental health conditions, and relies heavily on a single snapshot of behavior during the assessment, not capturing potential developmental changes over time, requiring a comprehensive evaluation alongside other assessments to reach an accurate diagnosis. ADOS®-2 results are combined with interviews with parents, and at times other family members and teachers, and medical history (subject, siblings, and parents) to arrive at a finding that may be definitive in certain “clear cut” cases or inconclusive or too early to tell in other cases. The latter leads to increased parental anxiety, “worried waiting”, and further extended lead times to a diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. Management conducted a formal opinion research study with 22 pediatric neurologists in 2019. Combined with input from the clinicians making up the company’s professional advisor board and on-going informal market sensing discussions with various neuropsychologists, pediatricians, developmental pediatricians, and neurodivergent behavioral therapists, management has become well aware that ADOS-2 is a reflection of the DSM-5TR’s diagnostic criteria on the clinical definition of autism spectrum disorder. And as such the ADOS-2 assessment is considered to be the current definitive means for arriving at a “clinical diagnosis” in keeping with the DSM-5 criteria. Additionally, as the DSM-5 defines Autism as a behavioral diagnosis, “gray area” cases (in words of practitioners) are those that don’t exhibit clear, obvious, demonstrative behaviors that align with the criteria. And, as such, these cases require further follow up over time to either finally diagnosis autism or perhaps another neurodivergent condition.

It is management’s opinion that parental worrying / “worried waiting” is not based on a specific measurement criteria but is instead qualitative, experiential reporting by clinicians who consistently report that parents generally seek the following: a diagnosis as soon as possible, an explanation of what has caused the condition, why can’t they get clear answers, why it takes so long to get an appointment with a specialist, what they can do while waiting to either see a specialist or wait for further symptoms or behaviors to emerge, how to avoid the stigma attached to an autism diagnosis, and more. The responses generally available to such questions leave many parents frustrated and somewhat on their own. This can be even more frustrating for parents who have a child already diagnosed with autism. Whether they immediately recognize it or not, parents need early support and reassurance to love and care for their child. Parents who received an early diagnosis of their child’s ASD were reported by Grzadzinski et al, “pre-symptomatic intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD): defining a research agenda” Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders. 2021, to have lower levels of stress and anxiety. The CDC regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder that for families, “daily life is not easy”.

The advocacy organization “Autism Speaks”, is a preeminent source parents often turn to find answers. The concerns and needs of parents and the support persons with autism require are the propellants that have made Autism Speaks the leading organization it has become. Additionally, parents and other advocates concerns have fueled increasingly visible and expanded federal legislative actions and laws to address the needs of autistic individuals and families.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects that you should consider before making a decision to invest in our Common Stock. These risks are discussed more fully in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Even if this offering is successful, we may need additional funding in order to grow our business.

• The commercial success of our technology and our revenue growth depends upon attaining significant market acceptance among payers, providers, clinics, and patients.

• Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations on any guidance we may provide.

• A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States or worldwide, including COVID-19, could adversely affect our business.

• The sizes of the markets for our diagnostic technologies and services and any future diagnostic tests and services may be smaller than we estimate and may decline.

• Our industry is subject to rapid change, which could make our solutions and the diagnostic tests we develop and services we offer obsolete. If we are unable to continue to innovate and improve our diagnostic tests and services, we could lose customers or market share.

• If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit or halt the marketing and sale of our diagnostic technologies and services. The expense and potential unavailability of insurance coverage for liabilities resulting from issues with our diagnostic tests and services could harm us and negatively impact our sales.

• We will need to raise additional capital to fund our existing operations, develop our platform, commercialize new diagnostic tests or expand our operations.

• Our financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which could prevent us from obtaining new financing on reasonable terms or at all.

• The timing of any new technology product offerings is uncertain.

• We may depend on third party distributors for our sales.

• Risks Related to our Governmental Regulation.

• The insurance coverage and reimbursement status of newly approved diagnostic tests, particularly in a new category of diagnostics, is uncertain. Failure to obtain or maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement for in-development or future diagnostic tests could limit our ability, and that of our collaborators, to fully commercialize our diagnostic tests and decrease our ability to generate revenue.

• Healthcare reform measures could hinder or prevent the commercial success of our diagnostic tests.

• We must comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws.

• The regulatory clearance or approval processes of regulatory authorities are lengthy, time-consuming, and unpredictable. If we are ultimately unable to obtain any necessary or desirable regulatory approvals or clearances, or if such approvals or clearances are significantly delayed, our business will be substantially harmed.

• FDA regulation of our industry generally or our tests specifically could be disruptive to our business.

• Failure to comply with federal, state and foreign laboratory licensing requirements and the applicable requirements of the FDA or any other regulatory authority, could cause us to lose the ability to perform our tests, experience disruptions to our business, or become subject to administrative or judicial sanctions.

Table of Contents

• Changes in the way that the FDA regulates tests performed by laboratories like ours could result in delay or additional expense in offering our tests and tests that we may develop in the future.

• Legislative or regulatory reforms may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory clearance or approval of any future diagnostic tests and to manufacture, market and distribute our diagnostic tests after clearance or approval is obtained.

• Any product for which we obtain regulatory clearance or approval will be subject to extensive ongoing regulatory requirements, and we may be subject to penalties if we or our partners fail to comply with regulatory requirements or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products.

• For any of our products that are approved or cleared by the FDA, we will be required to report to the FDA certain information about adverse medical events or malfunctions, and if we fail to do so, we would be subject to sanctions that could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. The discovery of serious safety issues with our products, or a recall of our products either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, could have a negative impact on us.

• Obtaining and maintaining regulatory authorization of our products in one jurisdiction does not mean that we will be successful in obtaining regulatory authorization of our products in other jurisdictions.

• Clinical trials may be necessary to support future product submissions to the FDA. These clinical trials are expensive and will require the enrollment of large numbers of patients, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit. Delays or failures in our clinical trials will prevent us from commercializing any in-development, modified or new diagnostic tests and will adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.

• If the third parties on which we rely to conduct our clinical trials and to assist us with pre-clinical development do not perform as contractually required or expected, we may not be able to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for or commercialize our diagnostic tests and services.

• The data that we collect may be vulnerable to breach, loss or misuse, and our handling of such data may be impacted by changes in data privacy and protection laws and regulations, which could increase operational costs or result in regulatory penalties, litigation, or reputational harm.

• Failure to comply with the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Regulations, as such rules become applicable to our business, may increase our operational costs.

• Information technology (“IT”) failures and data security breaches, including as a result of cybersecurity attacks, could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition, subject us to increased operating costs, and expose us to litigation.

• Our employees, collaborators, independent contractors and consultants may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.

• Clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future trial results.

• Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property.

• Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock.

• There has been no prior public market for our Common Stock and an active trading market may not develop.

• We expect that the price of our Common Stock will fluctuate substantially, and you may not be able to sell the shares you purchase in this offering at or above the offering price.

• The public price of our common stock may be volatile, and could, following a sale, decline significantly and rapidly.

• Securities analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information at all, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Table of Contents

• We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

• If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

• If you purchase our Shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

• We may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you and other stockholders may not approve.

• We expect to incur significant additional costs as a result of being a public company, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

• If we experience material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our Common Stock.

• Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management. Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider and carefully read all of the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as other information included in this prospectus, including our condensed financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. The occurrence of any of the following risks or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements and estimates that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

Even if this offering is successful, we may need additional funding in order to grow our business.

To date, we have financed our operations through private placements of our securities. We have devoted substantially all our financial resources and efforts to developing our technology products, workforce, and R&D capabilities. Our long-term growth and success are dependent upon our ability to generate cash from operating activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or access the capital we need to grow our business. Our inability to obtain additional capital could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fully implement our business plan as described herein and grow our business, to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources.

The commercial success of our technology and our revenue growth depends upon attaining significant market acceptance among payers, providers, clinics, and patients.

Our commercial success depends, in part, on the acceptance of our diagnostic technologies and services as being safe and relatively simple for medical practitioners to learn and use, clinically flexible, operationally versatile and, with respect to providers and payers, cost effective. We cannot predict how quickly, if at all, payers, providers, clinics and patients will accept future diagnostic technologies and services or, if accepted, how frequently they will be used. These constituents must believe that our diagnostic tests offer benefits over other available alternatives.

The degree of market acceptance of our product depends on a number of factors, including:

• the convenience and ease of use of our diagnostic technologies relative to the currently used on the market;

• the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts;

• our ability to provide incremental data that show the clinical benefits and cost effectiveness, and operational benefits, of our diagnostic technologies;

• the coverage and reimbursement acceptance of our products and services by insurance providers;

• pricing pressure, including from group purchasing organizations (“GPO”), seeking to obtain discounts on our diagnostic technologies based on the collective bargaining power of the GPO members;

• negative publicity regarding our or our competitors’ diagnostic technologies resulting from defects or errors;

• the accuracy of our technology relative to that of our competitors;

• ability to obtain any requisite authorization from FDA prior to commercializing our technology; and

• product requirements by other regulatory authorities;

Table of Contents

Additionally, even if our diagnostic technologies achieve widespread market acceptance, they may not maintain that market acceptance over time if competing diagnostic tests or technologies, which are more cost effective or are received more favorably, are introduced. Failure to achieve or maintain market acceptance and/or market share would limit our ability to generate revenue and would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations on any guidance we may provide.

Our quarterly and annual revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes it difficult for us to predict our future operating results. Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control and, as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

These fluctuations may occur due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

• the level of demand for our diagnostic technologies, which may vary significantly;

• the timing and cost of developing our diagnostic technologies, which may vary depending on the terms of our agreements with third party developers;

• expenditures that we may incur to acquire, develop or commercialize additional tests and technologies;

• unanticipated pricing pressures;

• the rate at which we grow our sales force and the speed at which newly hired salespeople become effective, and the cost and level of investment therein;

• geopolitical instability, economics problems, and other uncertainties in certain foreign countries in which we operate;

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States or worldwide, could adversely affect our business.

If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs in the United States or worldwide, our business may be adversely affected. Any pandemic has the potential to spread to other countries and throughout the United States. In the past, numerous state and local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of any pandemic. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in reduced operations at our headquarters, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, travel restrictions and cancellation of events.

Other disruptions or potential disruptions include:

• disruptions in our production schedule and ability to assemble diagnostic tests;

• inventory shortages or obsolescence;

• delays in actions of regulatory bodies;

• diversion of or limitations on employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the operations of our business;

• delays in growing or reductions in our sales organization, including through delays in hiring, lay-offs, furloughs or other losses of sales representatives;

• business adjustments or disruptions of certain third parties, including suppliers, medical institutions and clinical investigators with whom we may conduct business;

• additional government requirements or other incremental mitigation efforts that may further impact our or our suppliers’ capacity to develop our diagnostic technologies.

Table of Contents

The sizes of the markets for our diagnostic technologies and services and any future diagnostic tests and services may be smaller than we estimate and may decline.

Our estimates of the annual total addressable market for our diagnostic technologies and services are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates and assumptions, including, without limitation, the assumed prices at which we can sell our diagnostic tests and services in the market. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates are reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting our assumptions or estimates may change at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors.

As a result, our estimates of the annual total addressable market for our diagnostic tests and services in different market segments may prove to be incorrect. If the actual number of patients who would benefit from our diagnostic tests, the price at which we can sell them or the annual total addressable market for them is smaller than we have estimated, it may impair our sales growth and negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our industry is subject to rapid change, which could make our solutions and the diagnostic tests we develop and services we offer, obsolete. If we are unable to continue to innovate and improve our diagnostic tests and services, we could lose customers or market share.

Our industry is characterized by rapid changes, including technological and scientific breakthroughs, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards, all of which could make our current diagnostic tests and others we are developing obsolete. Our future success will depend on our ability to keep pace with the evolving needs of our customers on a timely and cost-effective basis and to pursue new market opportunities that develop as a result of scientific and technological advances. We must continuously enhance our offerings and develop new and improved diagnostic tests to keep pace with evolving standards of care. If we fail to discover new diagnostic applications or update our diagnostic technology to reflect new scientific knowledge, our diagnostic tests could become obsolete and sales of our current diagnostic technologies and any new tests we develop could decline or fail to grow as expected. This failure to make continuous improvements to our diagnostic tests to keep ahead of those of our competitors could result in the loss of customers or market share that would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit or halt the marketing and sale of our diagnostic technologies and services. The expense and potential unavailability of insurance coverage for liabilities resulting from issues with our diagnostic tests and services could harm us and negatively impact sales.

We face an inherent risk of product liability as a result of the marketing and sale of our diagnostic technologies and services. For example, we may be sued if our diagnostic tests or services are perceived to be unsuitable during marketing or sale. Any such product liability claim may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, strict liability or a breach of warranties. If medical personnel, or care partners are not properly trained, are negligent or use our diagnostic technologies incorrectly, the capabilities of such tests may be diminished. We may also be subject to claims that are caused by the activities of our suppliers, such as those who provide us with components and sub-assemblies for our diagnostic tests.

If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit or halt the marketing and sale of our diagnostic technologies and services. Even a successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

• decreased demand for our diagnostic technologies and services;

• harm to our reputation;

• initiation of investigations by regulators;

• costs to defend the related litigation;

• a diversion of management’s time and our resources;

Table of Contents

• substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;

• product recalls, withdrawals, marketing or promotional restrictions;

• loss of revenue;

• adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock; and

• exhaustion of any available insurance and our capital resources.

We believe we have adequate product liability insurance, but it may not prove to be adequate to cover all liabilities that we may incur. Insurance coverage is increasingly expensive. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance at a reasonable cost or in an amount adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise. Our insurance policy contains various exclusions, and we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no coverage. The potential inability to obtain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the marketing and sale of our diagnostic tests and services. We may have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any product liability claims brought against us, with or without merit, could increase our product liability insurance rates or prevent us from securing continuing coverage, harm our reputation in the industry, significantly increase our expenses and reduce product sales.

Our insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover all claims.

Our insurance policies may not adequately cover all risks to which we are exposed. A significant claim not covered by our insurance, in full or in part, may result in significant expenditures by us. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain insurance policies in the future at reasonable costs or on acceptable terms, which may adversely affect our business and the trading price of our shares.

Our software may not operate properly, which could damage its reputation, give rise to claims against the Company, or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm its business and operating results.

Software development is time-consuming, expensive, and complex. Unforeseen difficulties can arise. GyriCalc may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that it will discover additional problems that prevent its applications from operating properly. If the Company’s systems do not function reliably or fail to achieve client expectations in terms of performance, clients could assert liability claims against us, which could damage the Company’s reputation and impair its ability to attract or retain clients.

Software as complex as GyriCalc has in the past contained, and may in the future develop or contain, undetected defects, vulnerabilities, or errors. The Company cannot assure that material performance problems or defects in its services will not arise in the future. Errors may result from sources beyond the Company’s control, including the receipt, entry, or interpretation of patient information; interface of the Company’s services with legacy systems that it did not develop; or errors in data provided by third parties. It is challenging for the Company to test its software for all potential problems because it is difficult to simulate the wide variety of computing environments or treatment methodologies that its clients may deploy or rely upon. Therefore, despite testing, defects or errors may arise in the Company’s existing or new software or service processes following introduction to the market.

In light of this, defects, vulnerabilities, and errors and any failure by the Company to identify and address them could result in loss of revenue or market share; liability to clients, their patients, or others; failure to achieve market acceptance or expansion; diversion of development and management resources; delays in the introduction of new services; injury to the Company’s reputation; and increased service and maintenance costs. Defects, vulnerabilities, or errors in the Company’s software and service processes might discourage existing or potential clients from purchasing services from the Company. Correction of defects, vulnerabilities, or errors could prove to be impossible or impracticable. The costs incurred in correcting any defects, vulnerabilities, or errors or in responding to resulting claims or liability may be substantial and could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

Table of Contents

We will need to raise additional capital to fund our existing operations, develop our platform, commercialize new diagnostic tests or expand our operations.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons, including to:

• increase our sales and marketing efforts to drive market adoption of and address competitive developments;

• fund development and marketing efforts of our diagnostic tests or any other future diagnostic technologies;

• expand our technologies into other types of brain disorder diagnostic tests;

• acquire, license or invest in new technologies;

• acquire or invest in complementary businesses or assets; and

• finance capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses.

Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

• our ability to achieve revenue growth;

• the cost of expanding our laboratory operations and offerings, including our sales and marketing efforts;

• our rate of progress in, and cost of the sales and marketing activities associated with, establishing adoption of and reimbursement for our diagnostic technologies;

• our rate of progress in, and cost of research and development activities associated with, diagnostic tests in research and early development;

• the effect of competing technological and market developments;

• the potential cost of and delays in product development as a result of any regulatory oversight applicable to our diagnostic tests.

The various ways we could raise additional capital carry potential risks. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders could experience dilution. Any preferred equity securities issued could also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, those debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our platform technologies or diagnostic tests, pay a portion of our royalties, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

Our financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which could prevent us from obtaining new financing on reasonable terms or at all.

We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,703,097. The Company has incurred recurring losses and the Company expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs and expenses related to product testing, FDA submission and product commercialization. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

This going concern determination could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Further financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. Until we can generate significant recurring revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financing. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our products. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

Although our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 contains a reference to a going concern assessment from our management on the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. Prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through sales of our products, financings or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute the business plan and attain profitable operations.

The timing of any new technology product offerings is uncertain.

Our product development process involves a high degree of risk and may take several years in some instances. Our product development efforts may fail for many reasons, including, but not limited to:

• failure of the technology product at the research or development phase;

• difficulty in accessing samples, especially samples with known clinical results; or

• lack of clinical validation data to support the effectiveness of the technology product.

Few research and development projects result in commercial technology products, and success in early clinical trials often is not replicated in later studies. At any point, we may abandon development of a technology product, or we may be required to expend considerable resources repeating clinical trials, which would adversely impact the timing for generating potential revenues from those technology products. In addition, as we develop technology products, we will have to make significant investments in technology product development. If a clinical validation study fails to demonstrate the prospectively defined endpoints of the study, we might choose to abandon the development of the technology product or product feature that was the subject of the clinical trial, which could harm its business. In addition, our competitors may develop and commercialize competing technologies faster than we are able to do so.

We may depend on third party distributors for our sales.

We have limited experience marketing and selling our diagnostic tests. We will rely on our network of licensees and distributors to sell our diagnostic tests globally, and any failure to maintain and grow our distribution network will negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our distribution partners are highly trained and possess substantial technical expertise, which we believe is critical in increasing adoption of our diagnostic tests in their respective territories. The loss of these business partners to competitors, or otherwise, will negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to retain our distributors or replace them with partners of equivalent technical expertise, qualifications, and track-records, it may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There are no financial penalties if our distribution partners choose to discontinue our products. Furthermore, our success depends on third-party distribution and these distributors’ ability to attract and retain salespeople with extensive experience selling products in the industry, and medical disciplines. We may have difficulties developing sales if we and/or our third-party distributors have difficulty locating, recruiting or retaining qualified salespeople, which could cause a delay or decline in the rate of adoption of our tests.

Risks Related to our Governmental Regulation

The insurance coverage and reimbursement status of newly approved diagnostic tests, particularly in a new category of diagnostics, is uncertain. Failure to obtain or maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement for in-development or future diagnostic tests could limit our ability, and that of our collaborators, to fully commercialize our diagnostic tests and decrease our ability to generate revenue.

The availability and extent of reimbursement by governmental and private payers is essential for most patients to be able to afford the clinical diagnostic tests that we currently or in the future plan to develop and sell. In addition, because our clinical diagnostics and diagnostic tests represent new approaches to the research, diagnosis, detection and treatment of diseases, we cannot accurately estimate how our diagnostic tests, and those jointly created with our collaborators, would be priced, whether reimbursement could be obtained, or any potential revenue generated. Sales of our diagnostic tests will depend substantially, both domestically and internationally, on the extent to which the costs of our diagnostic tests are paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by government health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and other third-party payers. If reimbursement is not available, or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize some of our diagnostic tests or services. Even if coverage is provided, the available reimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish or maintain pricing sufficient to realize an adequate return on our investment in any of our diagnostic tests or services. Changes in the reimbursement landscape may occur, which are outside of our control, and may impact the commercial viability of our diagnostic tests.

In the United States, many significant decisions about reimbursement for new diagnostics and medicines are typically made by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”). CMS decides whether and to what extent a new diagnostic or medicine will be covered and reimbursed under Medicare, although it frequently delegates this authority to local Medicare Administrative Contractors. Private payers tend to follow Medicare to a substantial degree. It is difficult to predict what CMS will decide with respect to reimbursement for novel diagnostic tests such as ours.

Healthcare reform measures could hinder or prevent the commercial success of our diagnostic tests.

In the United States, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system in ways that may harm our future revenues and profitability and the demand for our diagnostic tests. Federal and state lawmakers regularly propose and, at times, enact legislation that would result in significant changes to the healthcare system, some of which are intended to contain or reduce the costs of medical products and services. Current and future legislative proposals to further reform healthcare or reduce healthcare costs may limit coverage of or lower reimbursement for the procedures associated with the use of our diagnostic tests.

The effect of any healthcare reform initiative implemented in the future could impact our revenue from the sale of our diagnostic tests. For example, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “ACA”), contains a number of provisions, including those governing enrollments in federal healthcare programs, reimbursement changes and fraud and abuse measures, all of which will impact existing government healthcare programs and will result in the development of new programs.

There have been judicial challenges to certain aspects of the ACA, as well as efforts by Congress to repeal, replace or alter the implementation of certain aspects of the ACA. Most recently, the Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari on March 2, 2020, for a Texas District Court case, which invalidated the ACA in its entirety because he concluded that the individual mandate was unconstitutional. Although the Supreme Court of the United States reversed the holding and remanded the case back to the Texas District Court, it is unclear how the Texas District Court will rule, as it is unclear how any future decisions, subsequent appeals, and other efforts to challenge, repeal, or replace, or alter the implementation of the ACA will affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Congress may continue to pursue significant changes to the current healthcare laws. We face uncertainties that might result from modifications or repeal of any of the provisions of the ACA, including as a result of current and future executive orders and legislative actions. The impact of those changes on us and potential effect on the medical device industry as a whole is currently unknown. Any changes to the ACA are likely to have an impact on our results

Table of Contents

of operations, and may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict what other healthcare programs and regulations will ultimately be implemented at the federal or state level or the effect of any future legislation or regulation in the United States on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The continuing efforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payers of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare may harm:

• our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for our diagnostic tests;

• our ability to generate revenue and achieve or maintain profitability; and

• the availability of capital.

The ACA substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers, and significantly impacts our industry. Future changes in healthcare policy could increase our costs and subject us to additional regulatory requirements that may interrupt the commercialization of our current and future solutions. Future changes in healthcare policy could also decrease our revenue and impact sales of and reimbursement for our in development and future diagnostic tests.

We must comply with healthcare fraud and abuse laws.

Various federal and state laws, as well as the laws of foreign countries, prohibit payments to induce the referral, purchase, order or use of healthcare products or services and require medical device companies to limit prevent, and/or monitor, and report certain payments to third-party payers, health care professionals, and other individuals. These healthcare fraud and abuse anti-kickback, public reporting and aggregate spend laws affect our sales, marketing and other promotional activities by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs, we may have with hospitals, physicians or other potential purchasers or users, including patients, of medical devices and services. In particular, these laws influence, among other things, how we structure our sales offerings, including discount practices, customer support, education and training programs and physician consulting and other service arrangements. These laws prohibit certain marketing initiatives that are commonplace in other industries. If we were to offer or pay inappropriate inducements for the purchase, order or use of our diagnostic tests or our services, or our arrangements are perceived as inappropriate inducements, we could be subject to claims under various healthcare fraud and abuse laws.

Restrictions under applicable United States federal and state healthcare laws and regulations include the following:

• the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a criminal law, prohibits, among other things, persons and entities from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for, referring, or recommending the purchase, lease, order of any good or service for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid;

• the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act, which prohibits knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, in return for the referral of a patient to, or in exchange for an individual using the services of certain entities, including laboratories, if the services are covered by a health care benefit program;

• the Beneficiary Inducement Statute, which prohibits any person, organization, or entity from giving anything of value to a federal health care program beneficiary that is likely to induce or influence the beneficiary’s choice of provider, practitioner, or supplier for covered services;

• the federal civil False Claims Act, which may be enforced through civil whistleblower or qui tam actions and is often used to enforce the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and other healthcare laws and regulations, imposes civil penalties and potential exclusion from federal healthcare programs, against individuals or entities for, among other things, knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent or for making a false record or statement material to an obligation to pay the federal government or for knowingly and improperly avoiding, decreasing or concealing an obligation to pay money to the federal government;

Table of Contents

• federal criminal statutes created by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) impose criminal liability for, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing or attempting to execute a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private insurance plans, or, in any matter involving a healthcare benefit program, for knowingly and willfully making materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits; and

• Analogous state and foreign laws and regulations, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payers, including private insurers.

Other federal and state laws, as well as the laws of foreign countries, generally prohibit individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payments to government or commercial payers that are false or fraudulent, or for items or services that were not provided as claimed. Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements with third parties will comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to us, we may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment, exclusion of product candidates and medical devices from government-funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, disgorgement, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Moreover, any investigation into our practices could cause adverse publicity and require a costly and time-consuming response. If any physicians or other healthcare providers or entities with whom we expect to do business are found not to be in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government-funded healthcare programs.

Manufacturers can also be held liable under these laws if they are deemed to “cause” the submission of false or fraudulent claims by providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, by providing improper financial inducements, or through certain other activities. We attempt to ensure that any billing and coding information we provide for our diagnostic tests emphasizes the need for physicians and other providers to make independent judgments, use accurate and appropriate billing and coding that complies with all applicable payer policies, and document the medical need for their patients as appropriate. Nevertheless, the government may not regard any billing errors that may be made by our customers as inadvertent and may examine our role in providing information to our customers, physicians and patients concerning the benefits and potential coverage.

The regulatory clearance or approval processes of regulatory authorities are lengthy, time-consuming, and unpredictable. If we are ultimately unable to obtain any necessary or desirable regulatory approvals or clearances, or if such approvals or clearances are significantly delayed, our business will be substantially harmed.

The time required and ability to obtain clearance or approval by the FDA or any regulatory authorities is unpredictable, typically takes several years following the commencement of clinical studies, and depends upon numerous factors, including the type, complexity, and novelty of our products. In addition, policies, laws, regulations, or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain clearance or approval may change during the course of a test’s clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions, which may cause delays in the clearance or approval of, or the decision not to approve, an application. Regulatory authorities have substantial discretion in the premarket review process and may refuse to accept any application, decide that our data are insufficient for clearance or approval, require additional clinical or other data, or determine that our manufacturing and quality systems are insufficient or in violation of applicable requirements. Even if we believe our data are sufficient to support regulatory approval, regulatory authorities may disagree that approval is warranted, or may require the generation and submission of additional data or data analyses and significantly delay approval.

Before a new medical device, or a new intended use of, claim for, or significant modification to an existing device, can be marketed in the United States, a company must first submit an application for and receive 510(k) clearance pursuant to a premarket notification submitted under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), de-novo classification, or “PMA” approval from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. Products that are approved through a PMA application generally need prior FDA approval before modifications can be made that affect

Table of Contents

safety or effectiveness, and certain modifications to a 510(k)-cleared device may also require FDA premarket review before the modified product can be marketed. We have applied for regulatory clearance and approval for our GyriCalc product, but it is possible that we will never obtain regulatory clearance or approval.

FDA or other regulators can delay, limit, or deny premarket clearance or approval of a product for many reasons, including but not limited to the following:

• FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with the design, implementation, or results of, or interpretation of the data from, our clinical studies;

• FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may determine that our product has not been shown to be safe and effective or has other characteristics that preclude us from obtaining marketing authorization or prevent or limit its commercial use (for example, a narrowed indication for use claim);

• the population studied in the clinical program may not be sufficiently broad, generalizable, or representative of the intended target population of our product to assure effectiveness and safety in the population for which we seek authorization or clearance;

• FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of data from clinical studies or may fail to accept data from clinical studies (or clinical sites), including if we fail to establish the integrity of our data;

• FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may determine that our clinical studies otherwise fail to comply with applicable regulations;

• serious or unexpected adverse effects or other performance issues are identified with our products;

• FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may determine that our manufacturing or quality system fails to comply with applicable regulations or otherwise fails to meet the standards necessary to support approval; and

• the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval.

FDA regulation of our industry generally or our tests specifically could be disruptive to our business.

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including FDA laws and regulations, all of which are subject to change. These laws and regulations are complex and are subject to interpretation by the courts and by government agencies. We believe that we are in material compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to us, but there is a risk that one or more government agencies could take a contrary position, or that a private party could file suit under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act or a similar state law. Such occurrences, regardless of their outcome, could damage our reputation and adversely affect important business relationships with third parties, including managed care organizations, and other private third-party payers.

In the United States, before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, or claim for, an existing product, we must first receive either 510(k) clearance, PMA approval or approval of a de-novo application from the FDA, unless an exemption applies.

Government regulation of medical devices is meant to assure their safety and effectiveness, and includes regulation of, among other things:

• design, development and manufacturing;

• testing, labeling, including directions for use, processes, controls, quality assurance, packaging, storage, distribution, installation and servicing;

• pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;

• establishment registration and listing;

Table of Contents

• test kit safety and effectiveness;

• marketing, sales and distribution;

• recordkeeping procedures;

• advertising and promotion;

• premarket authorization (510(k), PMA, de-novo, Emergency Use Authorization (EUA));

• corrections and removals and recalls;

• post-market surveillance, including reporting of deaths or serious injuries, and malfunctions that, if they were to recur, would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury; and

• product import and export.

We can provide no assurances that the FDA will not focus its attention on diagnostic tests, including those that we provide. If this were to happen, it may impact our marketing practices relating to the relevant tests, which in turn may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with federal, state and foreign laboratory licensing requirements and the applicable requirements of the FDA or any other regulatory authority, could cause us to lose the ability to perform our tests, experience disruptions to our business, or become subject to administrative or judicial sanctions.

The diagnostic testing industry is subject to extensive laws and regulations, many of which have not been interpreted by the courts, including the application of the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) authority.

We may also be subject to regulation in foreign jurisdictions as we seek to expand international utilization of our tests or such jurisdictions adopt new licensure requirements, which may require review of our tests in order to offer them or may have other limitations that may limit our ability to make our tests available outside of the United States. Complying with licensure requirements in new jurisdictions may be expensive, time-consuming and subject us to significant and unanticipated delays. Changes in state or foreign licensure laws that affect our ability to offer and provide diagnostic services across state or foreign country lines could materially and adversely affect our business. In addition, state and foreign requirements for laboratory certification may be costly or difficult to meet and could affect our ability to receive specimens from certain states or foreign countries.

Failure to comply with applicable clinical laboratory licensure requirements may result in a range of enforcement actions, including suspension, limitation or revocation of any certificate and/or state licenses, imposition of a directed plan of action, onsite monitoring, civil monetary penalties, criminal sanctions and revocation of the laboratory’s approval to receive Medicare and Medicaid payment for its services, as well as significant adverse publicity.

Changes in the way that the FDA regulates tests performed by laboratories like ours could result in delay or additional expense in offering our tests and tests that we may develop in the future.

If premarket review is required for some or all of our products, the FDA may require that we stop selling our products pending clearance or approval, which would negatively impact our business. Even if our products are allowed to remain on the market prior to required clearance or approval, demand or reimbursement for our products may decline if there is uncertainty about our products, if we are required to label our products as investigational by the FDA, or if the FDA limits the labeling claims we are permitted to make for our products. As a result, we could experience significantly increased development costs and a delay in generating additional revenue from our products, or from other products now in development.

Finally, if the FDA asserts active regulatory authority over our products (i.e., determines them ineligible for the enforcement discretion), we will need to implement all of the required post-market controls for regulated medical devices including compliance with all applicable provisions of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”), medical device reporting, corrections and removals, etc.

Table of Contents

Legislative or regulatory reforms may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain regulatory clearance or approval of any future diagnostic tests and to manufacture, market and distribute our diagnostic tests after clearance or approval is obtained.

In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA in ways that may significantly affect our business and our diagnostic tests. Any new regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of planned or future diagnostic tests. It is impossible to predict whether legislative changes will be enacted or FDA regulations, guidance or interpretations changed, and what the impact of such changes, if any, may be.

Any change in the laws or regulations that govern the clearance and approval processes relating to our current, planned and future diagnostic tests could make it more difficult and costly to obtain clearance or approval for new diagnostic tests or to produce, market and distribute existing diagnostic tests. Significant delays in receiving clearance or approval or the failure to receive clearance or approval for any new diagnostic tests would have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our business.

Any product for which we obtain regulatory clearance or approval will be subject to extensive ongoing regulatory requirements, and we may be subject to penalties if we or our partners fail to comply with regulatory requirements or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products.

Any product for which we obtain regulatory clearance or approval from the FDA or other regulators, along with the manufacturing processes, post-market surveillance, labeling, packaging, advertising, and promotion, distribution, storage, import, export, reporting, and recordkeeping for such product, will be subject to continued regulatory review, oversight, requirements, and periodic inspections by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports; registration and listing requirements; requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance, and corresponding maintenance of records and documents; requirements relating to recalls, removals, and corrections; and requirements relating to product labeling, advertising and promotion, and recordkeeping. The regulations to which we are subject are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales. The FDA enforces these regulatory requirements through, among other means, periodic unannounced inspections. We do not know whether we will be found compliant in connection with any future regulatory inspections.

Regulatory clearance or approval of a test or device may be subject to limitations by the regulatory body as to the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to other conditions of clearance or approval. In addition, clearance or approval may contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the test or device. After clearance or approval, discovery of problems with our product, suppliers, vendors, or contract manufacturers, or manufacturing processes (including software validation), and/or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in actions such as:

• restrictions on marketing of a product;

• withdrawal or recall of the product from the market or seizure of the product;

• refusal to approve applications or supplements to approved applications that we may submit;

• fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;

• suspension, limitation or withdrawal of regulatory approvals or clearances;

• exclusion from participation in U.S. federal or state healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid;

• safety communications;

• refusal to permit the import or export of our product;

• injunctions; or

• Imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

For any of our products that are approved or cleared by the FDA, we will be required to report to the FDA certain information about adverse medical events or malfunctions, and if we fail to do so, we would be subject to sanctions that could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. The discovery of serious safety issues with our products, or a recall of our products either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, could have a negative impact on us.

For products for which we obtain FDA clearance or approval, we will be subject to the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations and similar foreign regulations, which require us to report to the FDA when we receive or become aware of information that reasonably suggests that one or more of our products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur, it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. The timing of our obligation to report is triggered by the date we become aware of the adverse event as well as the nature of the event. We may fail to report adverse events of which we become aware within the prescribed timeframe. We may also fail to recognize that we have become aware of a reportable adverse event, especially if it is not reported to us as an adverse event or if it is an adverse event that is unexpected or removed in time from the use of the product. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA could take action, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance or approval, seizure of our products, or delay in clearance or approval of future products.

The FDA and foreign regulatory bodies have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture of a product or in the event that a product poses an unacceptable risk to health. The FDA’s authority to require a recall must be based on a finding that there is reasonable probability that the device could cause serious injury or death. We may also choose to voluntarily recall a product if any material deficiency is found. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, malfunctions, manufacturing defects, labeling or design deficiencies, packaging defects or other deficiencies or failures to comply with applicable regulations. Product defects or other errors may occur in the future. Depending on the corrective action we take to redress a product’s deficiencies or defects, the FDA may require, or we may decide, that we will need to obtain new clearances or approvals for the device before we may market or distribute the corrected device. Seeking such clearances or approvals may delay our ability to replace the recalled devices in a timely manner. Moreover, if we do not adequately address problems associated with our devices, we may face additional regulatory enforcement action, including FDA warning letters, product seizure, injunctions, administrative penalties or civil or criminal fines.

Companies are required to maintain certain records of recalls and corrections, even if they are not reportable to the FDA. We may initiate voluntary withdrawals or corrections for our products in the future that we determine do not require notification of the FDA. If the FDA disagrees with our determinations, it could require us to report those actions as recalls and we may be subject to enforcement action. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with customers, potentially lead to product liability claims against us and negatively affect our sales. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending ourselves in a lawsuit, will require the dedication of our time and capital, distract management from operating our business and may harm our reputation and financial results.

Obtaining and maintaining regulatory authorization of our products in one jurisdiction does not mean that we will be successful in obtaining regulatory authorization of our products in other jurisdictions.

Obtaining and maintaining regulatory authorization of products in one jurisdiction does not guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain regulatory authorization in any other jurisdiction, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory authorization in one jurisdiction may have a negative effect on the regulatory authorization process in others. For example, even if the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority grants clearance or approval of our products, comparable regulatory authorities in foreign jurisdictions may also need to authorize the products in those countries, which may be a new review process. Premarket authorization processes vary among jurisdictions and can involve requirements and administrative review periods different from those in the United States, including additional clinical studies, because clinical studies conducted in one jurisdiction may not be accepted by regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions or the data may not be considered applicable to the jurisdiction’s intended patient population. In some cases, the price that we intend to charge for our products may also be subject to approval.

Obtaining foreign regulatory authorization and maintaining compliance with foreign regulatory requirements could result in significant delays, difficulties, and costs for us and could delay or prevent the introduction of our products in certain countries. If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements in other jurisdictions, or we fail to receive necessary or desirable marketing authorizations in other jurisdictions, our target market will be reduced and our ability to realize the full market potential of our products will be harmed.

Clinical trials may be necessary to support future product submissions to the FDA. These clinical trials are expensive and will require the enrollment of large numbers of patients, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit. Delays or failures in our clinical trials will prevent us from commercializing any in-development, modified or new diagnostic tests and will adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.

Initiating and completing clinical trials necessary to support any future PMA applications or other regulatory premarket submissions, and additional safety and efficacy data beyond that typically required for a 510(k) clearance for our possible future product candidates, will be time consuming and expensive and the outcome uncertain. Moreover, the results of early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, and any product we advance into clinical trials may not have favorable results in later clinical trials.

Conducting successful clinical studies will require the enrollment of large numbers of patients, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit. Patient enrollment in clinical trials and completion of patient participation and follow-up depends on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the trial protocol, the attractiveness of, or the discomforts and risks associated with, the treatments received by enrolled subjects, the availability of appropriate clinical trial investigators, support staff, and proximity of patients to clinical sites and ability to comply with the eligibility and exclusion criteria for participation in the clinical trial and patient compliance.

Development of sufficient and appropriate clinical protocols to demonstrate safety and efficacy is required and we may not adequately develop such protocols to support FDA clearance and approval. Further, the FDA may require us to submit data on a greater number of patients than we originally anticipated and/or for a longer follow-up period or change the data collection requirements or data analysis applicable to our clinical trials. Delays in patient enrollment or failure of patients to continue to participate in a clinical trial may cause an increase in costs and delays in the approval and attempted commercialization of our diagnostic tests or result in the failure of the clinical trial. In addition, despite considerable time and expense invested in our clinical trials, the FDA may not consider our data adequate to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Such increased costs and delays or failures could adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.

If the third parties on which we rely to conduct our clinical trials and to assist us with pre-clinical development do not perform as contractually required or expected, we may not be able to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for or commercialize our diagnostic tests and services.

We may not have the ability to independently conduct our pre-clinical and clinical trials for our future diagnostic tests and services and we must rely on third parties, such as contract research organizations, medical institutions, clinical investigators and contract laboratories to conduct such trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, if these third parties need to be replaced, or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our pre-clinical development activities or clinical trials may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated. Additionally, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for, or successfully commercialize, our diagnostic tests and services on a timely basis, if at all, and our business, operating results and prospects may be adversely affected. Furthermore, our third-party clinical trial investigators may be delayed in conducting our clinical trials for reasons outside of their control.

The data that we collect may be vulnerable to breach, loss or misuse, and our handling of such data may be impacted by changes in data privacy and protection laws and regulations, which could increase operational costs or result in regulatory penalties, litigation, or reputational harm.

In connection with our business, we maintain and process, and our third-party vendors, collaborators, contractors and consultants maintain and process on our behalf, a large quantity of sensitive information, including confidential business, personal and patient health information in connection with our clinical studies and our employees, and may be subject to data privacy and protection laws and regulations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage and use of personally identifying information, which among other things, impose certain requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of personal information. Despite our efforts to properly handle and protect this information in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, our facilities and systems and those of our third-party

Table of Contents

vendors, collaborators, contractors and consultants may be vulnerable to security breaches, theft, misplaced or lost data, and programming, procedural or human errors that could potentially lead to such information being compromised of handled improperly.

These laws, rules and regulations — both domestic and foreign — evolve frequently, and their scope may continually change, through new legislation, amendments to existing legislation and changes in enforcement, and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. As a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.

We may be subject to numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including federal health information privacy laws, state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), that govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of health-related and other personal information could apply to our operations or the operations of our collaborators. For example, the State of California legislature passed the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), effective January 1, 2020, which grants certain rights to California residents with respect to their personal information.

Failure to comply with the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Regulations, as such rules become applicable to our business, may increase our operational costs.

Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, integrity, and other processing of protected health information (“PHI”) and personal identifiable information (“PII”). These laws and regulations include HIPAA. HIPAA establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection of PHI by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services. We are a covered entity under HIPAA when we are conducting our clinical trials. We are a covered entity with regard to our observational studies and clinical trials, and also a business associate under HIPAA for certain other business activities, and we execute business associate agreements with our clients.

HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates, such as us, to develop and maintain policies with respect to the protection of, use and disclosure of electronic PHI, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information, and certain notification requirements in the event of a data breach.

HIPAA imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations. Penalties for violations of HIPAA and its implementing regulations start at $119 per violation and are subject to a cap of $1,785,651 for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. However, a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suits on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.

In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities and business associates. With regard to business associates, those audits assess the business associate’s compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards. Such audits are conducted randomly and after an entity experiences a breach affecting more than 500 individuals’ data. Undergoing an audit can be costly, can result in fines or onerous obligations, and can damage a business associate’s reputation.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PHI and other types of PII. Some of these laws and regulations may be preempted by HIPAA with respect to PHI, or may exclude PHI from their scope but impose obligations with regard to PII that is not PHI, and in some cases, can impose additional obligations with regard to PHI. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, contradictory, and subject to changing or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future. This complex, dynamic legal landscape regarding privacy, data protection, and information security creates significant compliance issues for us and our clients and potentially exposes us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability. While we have implemented data privacy and security measures in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection, some PHI and other PII or confidential information is transmitted to us by third parties, who may not implement adequate security and privacy measures, which can lead to government imposed fines, orders requiring that we or these third-parties change our or their practices, among others.

Table of Contents

If we or these third parties are found to have violated such laws, rules or regulations, it could result in government-imposed fines, orders requiring that we or these third parties change our or their practices, or criminal charges, which could adversely affect our business Complying with these various laws and regulations could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices, systems and compliance procedures in a manner adverse to our business.

Information technology (“IT”) failures and data security breaches, including as a result of cybersecurity attacks, could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition, subject us to increased operating costs, and expose us to litigation.

We regularly monitor, defend against and respond to attacks to our networks and other information security incidents. Despite our information security efforts, our facilities, systems, and data, as well as those of our third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to privacy and information security incidents such as data breaches, viruses or other malicious code, cybersecurity attacks, coordinated attacks, data loss, phishing attacks, ransomware, denial of service attacks, or other security or IT incidents caused by threat actors, technological vulnerabilities or human error. If we, or any of our vendors that support our IT or have access to our data, including any third-party vendors that collect, process and store personal data on our behalf, fail to comply with laws requiring the protection of personal information, or fail to safeguard and defend personal information or other critical data assets or IT systems, we may be subject to regulatory enforcement and fines as well as private civil actions. We may be required to expend significant resources in the response, containment, mitigation of cybersecurity incidents as well as in defense against claims that our information security was unreasonable or otherwise violated applicable laws or contractual obligations.

Our employees, collaborators, independent contractors and consultants may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.

We are exposed to the risk that our employees, collaborators, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity with respect to our business. Misconduct by these employees could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or unauthorized activity that violates:

• FDA regulations, including those laws requiring the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to the FDA authorities;

• CMS regulations, including laws pertaining to clinical laboratory standards;

• Foreign, federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations; or

• laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data.

In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Misconduct by these parties could also involve individually identifiable information, including, without limitation, the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. Any incidents or any other conduct that leads to an employee, contractor, or other agent, or our company, receiving an FDA debarment or exclusion by the HHS Office of Inspector General could result in penalties, a loss of business from third parties, and severe reputational harm.

In connection with this offering, we will adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and compliance policies to govern and deter such behaviors, but it is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by our employees and other agents, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, treble damages, monetary fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, additional reporting requirements and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or similar agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, and curtailment of our operations.

Table of Contents

Clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future trial results.

Our ongoing research and development and clinical trial activities are subject to extensive regulation and review by numerous governmental authorities both in the United States and abroad. We are currently conducting pre-and post-market clinical studies of some of our tests. In the future we may conduct clinical trials to support clearance and approval of new diagnostic tests and services. Clinical studies may need to be conducted in compliance with FDA regulations or the FDA may take enforcement action. The data collected from these clinical studies may ultimately be used to support marketing authorization for these diagnostic tests and services. Even if our clinical trials are completed as planned, we cannot be certain that their results will support our product candidate claims or that the FDA or foreign authorities and notified bodies will agree with our conclusions regarding them. We rely on data collected in foreign countries and we cannot be certain that the FDA accept all of the data collected outside the U.S. as support for our product candidate claims. Success in pre-clinical studies and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and we cannot be sure that the later trials will replicate the results of prior trials and pre-clinical studies. The clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate that our tests are safe and effective for the proposed indicated uses, which could cause us to abandon development of our tests and may delay development of others. Any delay or termination of our clinical trials will delay the filing of our product submissions and, ultimately, may impact our ability to commercialize our tests and generate revenues.

Many of the factors that may cause or lead to a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to delay or denial of regulatory clearance or approval. The commencement of clinical trials may be delayed due to insufficient patient enrollment, which is a function of many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites and the eligibility criteria for the clinical trial.

We may find it necessary to engage contract research organizations to perform data collection and analysis and other aspects of our clinical trials, which might increase the cost and complexity of our trials. We may also depend on clinical investigators, medical institutions and contract research organizations to perform the trials, and would control only certain aspects of their activities. Nevertheless, we would be responsible for ensuring that each of our trials is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal, regulatory and scientific standards, and our reliance on these third parties would not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities. We and our third-party contractors are required to comply with good clinical practices (“GCPs”) which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA, and comparable regulations enforced by foreign regulatory authorities for products in clinical development. Regulatory authorities enforce these GCPs through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, principal investigators and trial sites. If we or any third-party contractor fails to comply with applicable GCPs, the clinical data generated in clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require us to perform additional clinical trials before clearing or approving our marketing applications. A failure to comply with these regulations may require us to repeat clinical trials, which would delay the regulatory clearance or approval process. In addition, if these parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, or if the quality, completeness or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or for other reasons, our clinical trials may have to be extended, delayed or terminated.

Many of these factors could be beyond our control. We may not be able to undertake additional trials, repeat trials or enter into new arrangements with third parties without undue delays or considerable expenditures. If there are delays in testing or clearances or approvals as a result of the failure to perform by third parties, our research and development costs would increase and we may not be able to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for our tests. In addition, we may not be able to establish or maintain relationships with these parties on favorable terms, if at all. Each of these outcomes would harm our ability to market our tests, or to achieve sustained profitability.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

Our success may be impaired if we are unable to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights.

Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other intellectual property protection in the United States and other countries with respect to our diagnostic tests, products and services and technology. We rely on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, to protect our proprietary technology and prevent others from duplicating our suite of diagnostic tests and products. However, these means may afford only limited protection and may not:

• prevent our competitors from gaining access to our proprietary information and technology; or

• allow us to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

Table of Contents

Any of our patents, including those we may license, may be challenged, invalidated, rendered unenforceable or circumvented. Consequently, we do not know whether any of our diagnostic tests, products and services will be protectable or remain protected by valid and enforceable patents. We may not prevail if our patents are challenged by competitors or other third parties. Furthermore, competitors may be able to design around our patents by developing similar or alternative technologies or products in a non-infringing manner, or obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. If these developments were to occur, our diagnostic tests and products may become less competitive and sales may decline.

Moreover, some of our patents and patent applications may in the future be co-owned with third parties. If we are unable to obtain or maintain an exclusive license to any such third party co-owners’ interest in such patents or patent applications, such co-owners may be able to license their rights to other third parties, including our competitors, and our competitors could market competing products and technology. In addition, we may need the cooperation of any such co-owners of our patents in order to enforce such patents against third parties, and such cooperation may not be provided to us. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.

If we are unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for our technology, or if the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficient, our competitors could develop and commercialize diagnostic tests, products and services similar or superior to ours, and our competitive position may be adversely affected. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of inventions made in the course of our development and commercialization activities before it is too late to obtain patent protection on them. Therefore, we may miss potential opportunities to strengthen our patent position. In addition, the patent prosecution process is expensive, time-consuming and complex, and we may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce or license all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner.

Additionally, while software and other of our proprietary works may be protected under copyright law, we have chosen not to register any copyrights in these works, and instead, primarily rely on protecting our software as a trade secret. In order to bring a copyright infringement lawsuit in the United States, the copyright must be registered. Accordingly, the remedies and damages available to us for unauthorized use of our copyrights may be limited.

If we or any of our current or future licensors, including the University of Louisville Research Foundation Inc. are unable to maintain, obtain or protect intellectual property rights related to our technologies and any future technologies we may develop, or if the scope of any protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, we may not be able to compete effectively in our market.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to seek, obtain and maintain intellectual property protection in the United States and other countries with respect to our technologies. We and the University of Louisville Research Foundation Inc. currently rely upon a combination of trademarks, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and proprietary know-how. Additionally, the University of Louisville Research Foundation Inc. has obtained a United States patent related to its proprietary diagnostic tests. We also intend to protect our proprietary technology and methods by, among other things, filing for and obtaining United States and foreign patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions, methods of use, and improvements that are important to the development and implementation of our business.

Our rights to develop and commercialize our product and future product candidates are subject, in part, to the terms and conditions of licenses granted to us by others, including the University of Louisville Research Foundation Inc., if we fail to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we license intellectual property rights from third parties or otherwise experience disruptions to our business relationships with our licensors, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.

We are heavily reliant upon our license from the University of Louisville Research Foundation Inc. to certain proprietary technology that is important or necessary to the development of GyriCalc and future product candidates. Additionally, further development and commercialization of GyriCalc and future product candidates may require us to enter into additional license or collaboration agreements. For more information regarding our reliance on the University of Louisville Research Foundation Inc. and future collaboration agreements, please see “Risk Factors — Reliance on Third Parties.”

Table of Contents

Our current and any future licenses may not provide us with exclusive rights to use the licensed intellectual property and technology or may not provide us with exclusive rights to use such intellectual property and technology in all relevant fields of use and in all territories in which we may wish to develop or commercialize GyriCalc and future product candidates. As a result, we may not be able to prevent competitors or other third parties from developing and commercializing competitive products, including in territories covered by our licenses.

In some circumstances, we may not have the right to control the maintenance, prosecution, preparation, filing, enforcement, defense or litigation of patents and patent applications that we license from or license to third parties and are reliant on our licensors or licensees to do so. We thus cannot be certain that activities such as patent maintenance and prosecution by our licensors have been or will be conducted consistent with our best interests or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or will result in valid and enforceable patents and other intellectual property rights. It is possible that our licensors’ infringement proceedings or defense activities may be less vigorous than had we conducted them ourselves or may not be conducted in accordance with our best interests. If our licensors fail to maintain such patents or patent applications, or lose rights to those patents or patent applications, the rights we have licensed may be reduced or eliminated, and our right to develop and commercialize future product candidates that are the subject of such licensed rights and our right to exclude third parties from commercializing competing products could be adversely affected. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In spite of our efforts, our current and future licensors might conclude that we have materially breached our obligations under our license agreements and might therefore terminate such license agreements, thereby removing or limiting our ability to develop and commercialize products and technology covered by these license agreements. Disputes may arise with respect to our current or future licensing agreements, including disputes relating to:

• the scope of rights granted under the license agreements and other interpretation-related issues;

• our financial or other obligations under the license agreements;

• the extent to which GyriCalc and future product candidates infringe on intellectual property of the licensors that is not subject to the licensing agreements;

• the sublicensing of patent and other rights;

• our diligence obligations under the license agreements and what activities satisfy those diligence obligations;

• the inventorship or ownership of inventions and know-how resulting from the joint creation or use of intellectual property by our licensors and us and our partners; and

• the priority of invention of patented technology.

If disputes over intellectual property that we have licensed prevent or impair our ability to maintain our current licensing arrangements on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize GyriCalc and future product candidates. If our licenses are terminated, we may lose our rights to develop and market GyriCalc and future product candidates, lose patent protection for GyriCalc and future product candidates, experience significant delays in the development and commercialization of GyriCalc and future product candidates, or incur liability for damages. In addition, we may seek to obtain additional licenses from our licensors and, in connection with obtaining such licenses, we may agree to amend our existing licenses in a manner that may be more favorable to the licensors, including by agreeing to terms that could enable third parties, including our competitors, to receive licenses to a portion of the intellectual property that is subject to our existing licenses and to compete with GyriCalc and future product candidates.

Furthermore, if the licensing Agreement with the University of Louisville Research Foundation Inc. or any future licenses are terminated, or if the underlying patents or other intellectual property rights fail to provide the intended exclusivity, competitors or other third parties would have the freedom to seek regulatory approval of, and to market, products identical or competitive to ours and we may be required to cease our development and commercialization of GyriCalc and future product candidates. Moreover, if disputes over intellectual property that we license prevent or impair our ability to maintain other licensing arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize GyriCalc and future product candidates. In addition, certain of these license

Table of Contents

agreements may not be assignable by us without the consent of the respective licensor, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to engage in certain transactions. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our license agreements are, and future license agreements are likely to be, complex, and certain provisions in such agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could narrow what we believe to be the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology, or increase what we believe to be our financial or other obligations under the relevant agreement, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

In addition to seeking patent protection for the patents underlying our diagnostic tests, products and services, we also rely upon unpatented trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain a competitive position. Trade secrets and know-how can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect such proprietary information, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our employees, collaborators, contractors, advisors, consultants and other third parties and invention assignment agreements with our employees. We also have agreements with some of our consultants that require them to assign to us any inventions created as a result of their working with us. The confidentiality agreements are designed to protect our proprietary information and, in the case of agreements or clauses containing invention assignment, to grant us ownership of technologies that are developed through a relationship with employees or third parties.

Additionally, despite these efforts, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, we would have no right to prevent them from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to, or independently developed by, a competitor or other third party, our competitive position would be materially and adversely harmed. Furthermore, we expect these trade secrets, know-how and proprietary information to over time be disseminated within the industry through independent development, the publication of journal articles describing the methodology and the movement of personnel from academic to industry scientific positions. Consequently, we may be unable to prevent our proprietary technology from being exploited in the United States and abroad, which could affect our ability to expand in domestic and international markets or require costly efforts to protect our technology.

Additionally, we may be subject to claims from third parties challenging our ownership interest in intellectual property rights we regard as our own, based on claims that our employees or consultants have breached an obligation to assign inventions to another employer, to a former employer, or to another person or entity. Litigation may be necessary to defend against any other claims, and it may be necessary, or we may desire to enter into a license to settle any such claim; however, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If our defense to those claims fails, in addition to paying monetary damages, a court could prohibit us from using technologies or features that are essential to our diagnostic tests or products, if such technologies or features are found to incorporate or be derived from the trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers.

Changes in patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our in-development and future diagnostic tests, products and services.

Recent patent reform legislation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement or defense of issued patents. In 2011, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the “Leahy-Smith Act”) was signed into law. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to United States patent law, including the way patent applications are prosecuted and litigated. Accordingly, it is not clear what, if any, impact the Leahy-Smith Act will have on the operation of our business. The Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

In addition, patent reform legislation and judicial holdings may pass in the future that could lead to additional uncertainties and increased costs surrounding the prosecution, enforcement and defense of our patents and applications. Similarly, foreign courts have made, and will likely continue to make, changes in how the patent laws in their respective jurisdictions are interpreted. We cannot predict future changes in the interpretation of patent laws or changes to patent laws that might be enacted into law by United States and foreign legislative bodies. Those changes may materially affect our patents or patent applications and our ability to obtain additional patent protection in the future.

If our trademarks and tradenames are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets and our business may be adversely affected.

Our trademarks or trade names may be challenged, infringed, circumvented, declared generic or determined to be violating or infringing on other marks. We may not be able to protect our rights to these trademarks and trade names or may be forced to stop using these trademarks or trade names, which we need to build name recognition among potential partners and customers in our markets of interest. At times, competitors or other third parties may adopt trade names or trademarks similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement, or dilution claims brought by owners of other trademarks. Over the long term, if we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and trade names, then we may not be able to compete effectively, and our business may be adversely affected.

Our efforts to enforce or protect our rights related to trademarks, trade secrets, domain names or other intellectual property rights may be ineffective, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents, the patents of our licensors or other intellectual property rights, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

Competitors or other third parties may infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate our patents, the patents of our licensors or other intellectual property rights, or we may be required to defend against claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations. In addition, our patents also may become involved in inventorship, priority or validity disputes. To counter or defend against such claims can be expensive and time-consuming. Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our management and other personnel from their normal responsibilities. If securities analysts or investors perceive the litigation developments or proceedings results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock.

Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distribution activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to conduct such litigation or proceedings adequately. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their greater financial resources and more mature and developed intellectual property portfolios. Further, any claims we assert against perceived infringers can lead to those parties asserting counterclaims against us alleging infringement from our side. These proceedings can lead to our intellectual property right to be deemed invalid or unenforceable, which have unpredictable outcomes, but may include us losing at least part, or all, of the patent protection on our diagnostic tests, products and services. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during litigation.

Third parties also may raise similar claims before administrative bodies in the United States or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Such mechanisms include re-examination, post-grant review, inter partes review, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions, including opposition proceedings. Such proceedings could result in the revocation or cancellation of or amendment to our patents in such a way that they no longer cover our diagnostic tests, products and services or prevent third parties from competing with our diagnostic tests, products and services.

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Table of Contents

Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various required procedures, document submissions, fee payments and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.

Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other governmental fees on patents and/or applications will be due to be paid to the USPTO and various governmental patent agencies outside of the United States at several stages over the lifetime of the patents and/or applications. We have systems in place to remind us to pay these fees, and we employ an outside firm and rely on our outside counsel to pay these fees due to non-United States patent agencies. We are also dependent on our licensors to take the necessary action to comply with these requirements with respect to our licensed intellectual property rights. The USPTO and various non-US governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. We employ reputable law firms and other professionals to help us comply, and in some cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. However, there are situations in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, our competitors may be able to enter the market without infringing our patents and this circumstance would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may not have been the first company to make the inventions covered by our pending patents because publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries.

We may not be aware of all third-party intellectual property rights potentially relating to our current or future diagnostic tests, products or services. Publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until approximately 18 months after filing or, in some cases, not until such patent applications issue as patents. We, or our current or future license partners or collaborators, might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by each of our pending patent applications and we might not have been the first to file patent applications for these inventions. To determine the priority of these inventions, we may have to participate in interference proceedings, derivation proceedings or other post-grant proceedings declared by the USPTO. The outcome of such proceedings is uncertain, and other patent applications may have priority over our patent applications. Such proceedings could also result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position on our in-development and future diagnostic tests, products and services for an adequate amount of time.

Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years from its earliest United States non-provisional filing date. Various extensions may be available, but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited.

Even if patents covering our diagnostic tests, products and services are obtained, once the patent life has expired, we may be open to competition from competitive diagnostic tests, products and services. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of potential new diagnostic tests, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such candidates are commercialized. As a result, our owned and licensed patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing diagnostic tests, products or services similar or identical to ours.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Third parties may attempt to commercialize competitive diagnostic tests, products or services in foreign countries where we do not have any patents or patent applications and/or where legal recourse may be limited. This may have a significant commercial impact on our foreign business operations.

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our diagnostic tests, products and services in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing diagnostic tests or products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our diagnostic tests, products, services and technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own

Table of Contents

diagnostic tests and, further, may export otherwise infringing diagnostic tests or products to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These diagnostic tests and products may compete with our diagnostic tests, products or services and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

Many countries, including India, China, and certain countries in Europe, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If we or any of our current or future licensors are forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any patents relevant to our business, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats.

The degree of future protection afforded by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations and may not adequately protect our business or permit us to maintain our competitive advantage. For example:

• we, or our current or future licensors or collaborators, might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of our or their inventions;

• others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies without infringing our intellectual property rights;

• it is possible that our current or future pending patent applications will not lead to issued patents;

• issued patents that we hold rights to may be held invalid or unenforceable, including as a result of legal challenges by our competitors or other third parties;

• our competitors or other third parties might conduct research and development activities in countries where we do not have patent rights and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive diagnostic tests, products and services for sale in our major commercial markets;

• we may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable;

• the patents of others may harm our business; and

• we may choose not to file a patent in order to maintain certain trade secrets or know-how, and a third party may subsequently file a patent covering such intellectual property rights.

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

There has been no prior public market for our Common Stock and an active trading market may not develop.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. An active trading market may not develop following completion of this offering or, if developed, may not be sustained. The lack of an active trading market may impair the value of your shares of Common Stock and your ability to sell your shares of Common Stock at the time you wish to sell them. An inactive trading market may also impair our ability to both raise capital by selling shares of Common Stock and acquire other complementary diagnostic tests, technologies or businesses by using our shares of Common Stock as consideration.

Upon closing of this offering, we expect that our Common Stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, however, we could be de-listed, which would negatively impact the price of our Common Stock. In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A de-listing of our Common Stock from the New York Stock Exchange may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell

Table of Contents

our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. In addition, the delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital in the future.

If we fail to meet the minimum requirements for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, we will not proceed with this offering.

We expect that the price of our Common Stock will fluctuate substantially, and you may not be able to sell the shares you purchase in this offering at or above the offering price.

The initial public offering price for the shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering is determined by negotiation between the representatives of the underwriters and us. This price may not reflect the market price of our Common Stock following this offering. In addition, the market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including:

• the introduction of new diagnostic tests or enhancements to such tests by us or others in our industry;

• disputes or other developments with respect to our or others’ intellectual property rights;

• our ability to develop, obtain regulatory clearance or approval for, and market new and enhanced diagnostic tests on a timely basis;

• product liability claims or other litigation;

• quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of others in our industry;

• media exposure of our diagnostic tests or of those of others in our industry;

• changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals or applications;

• changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; and

• general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.

In recent years, the stock markets generally have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of listed companies. Broad market and industry factors may significantly affect the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our Common Stock shortly following this offering. If the market price of shares of our Common Stock after this offering does not ever exceed the initial public offering price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.

In addition, in the past, class action litigation has often been instituted against companies whose securities have experienced periods of volatility in market price. Securities litigation brought against us following volatility in our stock price, regardless of the merit or ultimate results of such litigation, could result in substantial costs, which would hurt our financial condition and operating results and divert management’s attention and resources from our business.

The purchasers in the resale offering may pay a different price than those in the initial public offering.

The resale offering by the selling stockholders will occur after the completion of the initial public offering, and the offering price for shares sold in the resale offering will depend on prevailing market prices or negotiated prices at the time of sale. As a result, the resale offering price may differ from the offering price in the initial public offering. Purchasers in the resale offering could pay more or less than purchasers in the primary offering, depending on market conditions and other factors at the time of the resale offering. This variability in pricing may create disparities in the costs incurred by investors and could impact on the trading price of our shares on the New York Stock Exchange.

Table of Contents

The public price of our common stock may be volatile, and could, following a sale, decline significantly and rapidly.

The initial public offering price for the shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following this offering. The market price of our common stock may decline below the initial offering price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid in the offering, or at all. Following this offering, the public price of our common stock in the secondary market will be determined by private buy and sell transaction orders collected from broker-dealers.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance of individual companies, particularly following an initial public offering of a company with a small public float. There is the potential for rapid and substantial price volatility of our common stock following this offering. These broad market factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, which may make it difficult for investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A class action suit against us could result in significant liabilities and, regardless of the outcome, could result in substantial costs and the diversion of our management’s resources and attention.

Stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and stock price volatility may also be completely unrelated to company performance. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our stock. Our common stock may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Common Stock.

Securities analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information at all, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

If a trading market for our Common Stock develops, the trading market will be influenced to some extent by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. As a new public company, we may be slow to attract research coverage and the analysts who publish information about our Common Stock will have had relatively little experience with us, which could affect their ability to accurately forecast our results and could make it more likely that we fail to meet their estimates. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us provide inaccurate or unfavorable research or issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock price, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports covering us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. We may take advantage of certain exemptions and relief from various public reporting requirements, including the requirement that our internal control over financial reporting be audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act). We will be exempt from any rules that could be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotations or a supplement to the auditor’s report on financial statements; we will be subject to reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and we will not be required to hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act to comply with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

Table of Contents

We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, we will not be subject to the same implementation timing for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, which may make comparison of our financials to those of other public companies more difficult. Additionally, because we have taken advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common shares held by nonaffiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

Investors may find our Common Stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions and relief granted by the JOBS Act. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and the price of our Common Stock may decline or become more volatile.

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. It is possible that interpretation, industry practice and guidance may evolve over time. If our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from our assumptions, our operating results may be adversely affected and could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

If you purchase our Shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

Investors purchasing Shares in this offering will pay a price per Share that substantially exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share. As a result, investors purchasing Shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $[•] per Share, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Share, the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock as of [•]. For more information on the dilution you may suffer as a result of investing in this offering, see the section of this prospectus entitled “Dilution.”

This dilution is due to the substantially lower price paid by our investors who purchased shares prior to this offering as compared to the price offered per Share to the public in this offering. It is also due to the conversion of our convertible debt into shares of our Common Stock upon the completion of this offering and the exercise of stock options granted to our employees as the conversion and exercise prices of such securities and options are substantially below the price offered per Share to the public in this offering.

Table of Contents

Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, regardless of our operating performance.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including the resale of shares held by various holders of our securities registered for resale, could occur at any time (after the expiration of any applicable lock-up period). These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of our common stock intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our common stock.

We may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you and other stockholders may not approve.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds.” Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not apply our net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment, and the failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States government. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

We expect to incur significant additional costs as a result of being a public company, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Upon completion of this offering, we expect to incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements that will become applicable to us as a public company, including rules and regulations of the SEC, under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as well as the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. These rules and regulations are expected to significantly increase our accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming. We also expect these rules and regulations to make it more expensive for us to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) or as executive officers. Accordingly, increases in costs incurred as a result of becoming a publicly traded company may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we experience material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our Common Stock.

As a result of becoming a public company, we will be required, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended [*]. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis.

We are further enhancing internal controls, processes and related documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. The effectiveness of our controls and procedures may be limited by a variety of factors, including:

• faulty human judgment and simple errors, omissions or mistakes;

• fraudulent action of an individual or collusion of two or more people;

Table of Contents

• inappropriate management override of procedures; and

• the possibility that any enhancements to controls and procedures may still not be adequate to assure timely and accurate financial control.

When we cease to be an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws, our auditors will be required to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls. If we are unable to confirm that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

Upon the closing of this offering, we will become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. We designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information we must disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock, thereby depressing the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors. Because our Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team.

Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

Our bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a chosen judicial forum for disputes with our directors, officers, employees, or stockholders.

Our bylaws require that derivative actions brought on behalf of us be brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consent to the forum provision in our bylaws. In addition, our bylaws provide that the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this exclusive forum provision for claims arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Neither the exclusive forum provisions nor the federal securities laws (and the rules and regulations thereunder) may be waived by a stockholder.

The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees, or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims and. If a stockholder were to bring such a claim, the choice of forum provision may result

Table of Contents

in the stockholder incurring increased costs in connection with bringing such a claim, because such stockholder will be required to bring the claim in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporate Law.

In addition, as permitted by the Delaware General Corporate Law, our certificate of incorporation and our indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our directors and officers provide that:

• we will indemnify our directors and officers for serving us in those capacities or for serving other business enterprises at our request, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Such law provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful;

• we may, in our discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law;

• we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such directors or officers shall undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification;

• the rights conferred in our certificate of incorporation are not exclusive, and we are authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons; and

• we may not retroactively amend our certificate of incorporation provisions to reduce our indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees and agents.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from our issuance and sale of all of the Shares sold by us in this offering will be approximately $5.9 million (or $6.845 million if the representative of the underwriters exercise its over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock in full), based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Share, which is the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $[•] million, assuming the number of Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. We may also increase or decrease the number of Shares we are offering. Each increase or decrease of 1.0 million in the number of Shares we are offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $[•] million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows:

Approximately $300,000 to fund our software engineering over the span of two (2) years;

Approximately $1,800,000 to fund clinical trials for new applications of our software;

Approximately $200,000 to fund our marketing;

Approximately $320,000 to fund offering expenses, including but not limited to, legal and promotional services;

Approximately $125,000 to fund our service of debt;

Approximately $600,000 to fund our accounts receivable financing over the span of two (2) years;

Approximately $1,500,000 to fund our operations;

Approximately $1,055,000 to fund our working capital (unassigned).

This expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our development, the status of and results from clinical trials, our sales, marketing and manufacturing efforts, any collaborations that we may enter into with third parties for our products and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.

We believe opportunities may exist from time to time to expand our current business through the acquisition or in-license of complementary products and product candidates. While we have no current agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions or in-licenses at this time, we may use a portion of the net proceeds for these purposes.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support our operations and finance the growth and development of our business. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, the requirements of current or then-existing debt instruments and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

The pro forma and pro forma as adjusted information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the initial public offering price of our Shares and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. You should read the following table in conjunction with “Use of Proceeds,” “Summary Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Description of Capital Stock” and other financial information contained in this prospectus, including the condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

____________

(1) Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $[*] per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, each of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ (deficit) equity and total capitalization by approximately $[*] million, assuming the number of Shares offered by us, as stated on the cover page of this prospectus, remains unchanged and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 100,000 in the number of Shares we are offering would increase or decrease, as applicable, each of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ (deficit) equity and total capitalization by approximately $[*], assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $[*] per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The number of shares of our Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on shares of Common Stock outstanding as of [•], 2025, and excludes shares underlying options, warrants and convertible debt.

Table of Contents

DILUTION

If you invest in our Shares in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our Common Stock (giving no value to the Warrants) and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after this offering. Net tangible book value per share of Common Stock is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less total liabilities by the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

Our historical net tangible book deficit as of December 31, 2024 was $(2,017,712), or $(0.18) per share of Common Stock.

Our pro forma net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2025 was $(2,456,532), or $(0.22) per share of our Common Stock.

Pro forma net tangible book value [(deficit)] per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities. Pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described above.

Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) is our pro forma net tangible book value, after giving further effect to (i) the sale of shares of our Common Stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and (ii) the application of the net proceeds from this offering as described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.” This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) of $[•] per share to our existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution of $[•] per share to new investors participating in this offering.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:

Assumed initial public offering price per share				$
Historical net tangible book deficit per share as of March 31, 2025	$	(0.22	)
Pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share as of [*], before giving effect to this offering
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share attributable to new investors participating in this offering
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share after this offering
Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share to new investors participating in this offering				$

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share of Common Stock after this offering by approximately $[•] per share of Common Stock and decrease or increase, as appropriate, the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share of Common Stock to investors participating in this offering by approximately $[•] per share of Common Stock, assuming that the number of Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Similarly, a [1.0 million] Share increase or decrease in the number of Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as appropriate, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share of Common Stock after this offering by approximately $[•] and decrease or increase, as appropriate, the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share of Common Stock to investors participating in this offering by approximately $[•], assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The pro forma information discussed above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual initial public offering price, number of shares and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

If the representative of the underwriters exercises its over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of our Common Stock and/or Warrants in this offering in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value will increase to $[•] per share of Common Stock, representing an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value to existing shareholders of $[•] per share and an immediate dilution of $[•] per share to new investors participating in this offering.

The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2025, on the pro forma as adjusted basis described above, the differences between our existing shareholders and the purchasers of Shares in this offering with respect to the number of Shares purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the weighted average price paid per share paid to us, based on an assumed initial public offering price of per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

	Shares Purchased			Total Consideration			Weighted Average Price per Share
	Number	Percent		Amount	Percent		Weighted Average Price per Share
Existing shareholders		%		$	%		$
New investors
Total		100	%	$	100	%

If the representative of the underwriters exercises its over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of our Common Stock and/or Warrants in this offering in full, the number of shares held by existing shareholders will be reduced to % of the total number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding upon completion of this offering, and the number of shares of Common Stock held by new investors participating in this offering will be further increased to % of the total number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding upon completion of the offering.

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $[•] per Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as appropriate, the total consideration paid by new investors by $[•] million, assuming the number of Shares we are offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of Shares we are offering. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of Shares offered by us would increase or decrease, as appropriate, the total consideration paid by new investors by $[•] million, assuming that the assumed initial price to the public remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We may choose to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that any options are issued under our equity incentive plan or we issue additional shares of Common Stock or equity-linked securities in the future, there will be further dilution to investors purchasing in this offering.

Overview

The Company is in the business of commercializing a medical diagnostic technology in late-stage development that may have the potential of significantly facilitating, and enhancing the accuracy of, the diagnosis of certain neuro-disabling diseases if approved by the FDA. To that extent, we plan, upon successful conclusion of our current efforts to raise new equity capital and after achieving FDA marketing clearance, to bring to market this new diagnostic technology for early detection of autism.

This technology assists in the diagnosis of neuro-disabling diseases through the use of advanced three-dimensional (“3D”) brain mapping technology. Currently, we are focused on developing this technology in order to provide a first of its kind diagnostic tool for autism in order to reduce the time for diagnosis to ensure the earliest possible intervention. Based on the application of the algorithms on more than 1,000 MRI scans conducted by the University of Louisville, our diagnostic software technology can diagnose Autism in infants, some as young as six months old, at 90%+ rate of accuracy. The technology was developed with the help of physicians at the University of Louisville and is compatible with existing MRI scan imagery. Our software measures the thickness of Cerebral White Matter (CWM) gyrification and analyzes and classifies the shape of the brain based on this measurement.

Recent Developments

The Company has recently completed a series of clinical trials to validate the efficacy of its software technology in preparation for submission to the FDA which was filed in March 2025.

Financial Operations Overview

Our product has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial sale and has not generated revenue to date. We have applied for 510(k) approval on March 5, 2025. We have never been profitable and have incurred net losses in each year since inception. We incurred net losses of $2,649,178 and $788,005 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and a net loss of $396,748 for the first quarter in 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,703,097. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from expenses incurred in connection with staff expenses, our research and development programs and outside professional services, and from stock-based compensation.

Revenues

The Company has not yet derived any revenues from the sale or licensing of its products.

Research and Development

The Company has to date spent approximately $758,000 on product development expenses.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased to $338,232 from $349,631 for the comparable period in 2024. During the first quarter in 2024 we recognized a charge of $118,387 for stock options granted for services whereas no such expense was incurred in the first quarter of 2025. This favorable development, however, was substantially offset by increases in (i) higher product development expenses which increased by approximately $28,000, and (ii) consultancies expenses incurred which increased by approximately $50,000.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased to $78,121 from $31,873 for the comparable period in 2024 due to (i) the increase in 2024 of convertible notes outstanding and (ii) higher charges for the amortization of debt discount. The increase in interest expenses was more than offset by a favorable change for the fair value assessment of warrant and derivative liabilities, amounting to approximately $94,000.

Net Loss

Our net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were $396,748 and $456,157, respectively, due to the above-mentioned factors.

Results of Operations – Years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

Revenues

The Company had not derived any revenues from the sale or licensing of its products.

Table of Contents

Research and Development

Our software is intended to be marketed as a distinctive separate product and, pursuant to ASC 985-20, the related costs which arise in the design, configuration and coding performed by third party contractors are expensed. Software development began in 2022. All related work is done by third party contractors. During the two years 2024 and 2023 we incurred product development expenses of $487,332 and 139,152, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for 2024 increased to $2,322,078 from $780,772 for the year 2023. The increase in 2024 is primarily attributable to (i) higher product development expenses which increased by $348,180, (ii) increases in outside consultancy, legal, and accounting expenses which increased by $310,267, and (iii) the grant of stock, stock options and warrants to directors and officers, the cost of which was recognized for $863,305 non-cash expense in 2024, up from $104,160 in 2023.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expenses for 2024 increased to $190,174 from $29,808 for 2023 due to the issuance in 2024 of additional convertible notes and related charges for the amortization of debt discount. We also recorded a charge of approximately $137,000 for a negative change in the fair value assessment of warrants and derivative liabilities.

Net Loss

Our net losses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $2,649,178 and $788,005, respectively, due to the above-mentioned factors.

Plan of Operations

We anticipate receiving FDA marketing clearance for the U.S. by the end of the second quarter of 2025. This clearance will mark the official launch of our software product in the U.S., with revenues projected to start materializing in the fourth quarter in 2025. In Canada, where regulatory approval is not required, there is potential for sales to begin prior to receiving FDA clearance; however, this is not guaranteed. Our plan projects that operations will become cashflow positive during the first half of 2026. We believe that the net proceeds from this public offering of our stock, which we estimate to be approximately $5,900,000, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs until then, and we do not anticipate having to raise additional funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue and have incurred significant operating losses. Our product is at a late phase of development with respect to product verification and validation through clinical trials, required for an application for approval of commercialization by the FDA. We do not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales until late 2025.

To finance ongoing operations and product development we entered in 2023 into a Placement Agent’s Agreement with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., a licensed broker/dealer (“Network 1”), for a bridge financing transaction (the Bridge Financing Transaction), for the placement of up to $2,000,000 senior convertible debentures, on a best-efforts basis. The debentures carry interest of 6% per year, mature in 24 months, and will automatically convert into the Company’s stock in the event of a public offering of the Company’s stock, at a 25% discount to the offering price in such an event (the “Event”). Investors who participate in the debenture offering receive stock purchase warrants at the rate of 0.5 warrants for every share issued upon conversion of the notes. The warrants may be exercised at the debt conversion price in the Event or $2.00 if no Event takes place, and expire 3 years after issuance. At December 31, 2024, a total $1,420,400 of such convertible notes have been placed.

As of March 31, 2025, our cash balance is $1,847, which is not adequate for our current planned level of operations through at least 12 months from the issuance date of this Form S-1.

Table of Contents

Our cash needs during the remaining three quarters in 2025 and before material revenues are expected to materialize in late 2025 are projected to be between $1.2 million and 1.5 million whereby approximately $200,000 are attributable to the initial three months’ timeframe, towards the end of which we expect our public offering to supply needed cash. Those initial three months will be financed through expected additional proceeds from our Bridge Financing Transaction. If our public offering were to be delayed beyond the end of the second quarter in 2025, we expect to raise additional capital through the private placement of equity.

Operating Activities

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was primarily for product development expenses and for outside professional services.

Investing Activities

There were no cash flows from investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Financing Activities

During the Years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 net cash provided by financing activities was from the bridge financing transaction.

Market Capital Expenditure Commitments

We have no material commitment for capital expenditures.

Fair value of Common Stock

In order to determine the fair value of shares of our Common Stock, given the absence of a public trading market of our capital stock to date, the Company has exercised reasonable judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our Common Stock, including:

• contemporaneous valuations of our Common Stock;

• our business, financial condition and results of operations, including related industry trends affecting our operations;

Table of Contents

• the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering, or IPO, or sale of our company, given prevailing market conditions;

• the lack of marketability of our Common Stock;

• the market performance of comparable publicly-traded companies;

• U.S. and global economic and capital market conditions and outlook; and

• Common Stock valuation methodology.

In estimating the fair market value of our Common Stock, the Company retained the services of third party consultants which specialize in Section 409A valuation analysis.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. The Company has not yet derived revenues from the sale or licensing of its product.

Derivative Liability

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be accounted for separately. In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other bifurcated embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded as a liability and marked-to-market each balance sheet date, with the change in fair value recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of an exclusive world-wide license granted to the Company by the University of Louisville for the technology underlying the Company’s software products and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets on a straight line over the estimated useful life of the assets and assesses the valuation of such assets whenever events or circumstances dictate that the carrying value might not be recoverable.

The Company incurs fees related to third party patents, consisting of costs to defend patents, and renew or extend the term of existing patents, which are expensed as incurred.

Funding Requirements

We expect that our expenses will continue on the level shown during 2024 and operating losses will be generated. Based on our current plans, we believe our existing cash will not be sufficient to fund our operations requirements through at least 12 months from the issuance date of this Form S-1. We expect to incur substantial additional expenditures in the medium term to support market entry and commercialization of our product. We expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to fund our product development and commercialization of our product will depend on the amount and timing of cash received from the planned public offering. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

• the costs, timing and outcomes of clinical trials and regulatory reviews associated with our product;

• the costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution;

• the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse marketing developments;

• the effect on our product development activities of actions taken by the FDA, EMA or other regulatory authorities;

• our degree of success in commercializing our product, if and when approved; and

Table of Contents

• the number and types of future products we develop and commercialize.

A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of our product could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of the product. Further, our operating plans may change in the future, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such operating plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial statements or changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information on recent accounting pronouncements, see our financial statements and the related notes found elsewhere in this report.

The JOBS Act and Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act to comply with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period.

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” under the recently enacted JOBS Act, we will, among other things:

• be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires that our independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;

• be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Exchange Act and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and

• be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements.

Although we are still evaluating the JOBS Act, we currently intend to take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to us so long as we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” including the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, we may elect not to provide you with certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of our executive officers, that we would otherwise have been required to provide in filings we make with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate our company. As a result, investor confidence in our company and the market price of our Common Stock may be materially and adversely affected.

BUSINESS

Overview

NeuroSpectrum Insights (NSI), a startup medical device company, is preparing to commercialize breakthrough computerized analysis technology to enhance clinicians’ capabilities in diagnosing various neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as: autism, dyslexia, ADHD, or schizophrenia. GyriCalc, NSI’s first product, focuses on autism. The GyriCalc proprietary, patented software technology identifies early human brain structural markers of neurodevelopmental differences by automatically analyzing images taken by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.

The NSI vision is to unshackle the benefits of early intervention for persons born with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. For autism, the average age of diagnosis is 4 – 1/2 years. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening every child for autism between 18 and 24 months old. This resulting 2+ year gap is a function of limited numbers of diagnostic specialists combined with the use of subjective, behavioral, and functional observation assessments. Widely accepted views within the autism care community are that earlier mitigating intervention therapies lead to superior life span outcomes for persons with autism, their caregivers and society overall.

GyriCalc will introduce the first fully objective measure to assist in autism diagnosis. This objective measure can be accomplished in minutes versus the hours, weeks, months, and sometimes years it currently takes for subjective assessments. Our technology provides clinicians expedited guidance for tailoring more precise functional measurements and early interventions.

Our Product

GyriCalc is a patented, proprietary computerized algorithm which measures predetermined human brain regions for specific surface characteristics. Images of these brain regions are captured by generally available structural magnetic resonance imagers (“MRI”). The MRI scan typically takes 15 to 20 minutes.

When GyriCalc is applied to the MRI scan, it conducts an analysis and generates a detailed report, in minutes, of the brain surface characteristics measured and the degree these characteristics correlate to the reference data set for typical (normal) brains. The report is provided directly to the ordering clinician.

NeuroSpectrum Insights has an exclusive commercialization license with the University of Louisville for this technological advancement.

NeuroSpectrum Insights is currently in the final stages of completing a Clinical Performance Protocol (which is distinct from a clinical trial). In this Clinical Performance Protocol, we analyzed 50 brain scans from children of ages two to three years old, using our proprietary technology, GyriCalc, to generate detailed reports for each scan. The same 50 scans were independently reviewed by three board-certified neurologists. We have compared the findings from GyriCalc to those of the neurologists to assess alignment and performance accuracy and have compiled the data, and have submitted the results to the FDA in early March of 2025.

Commercialization Strategy

NeuroSpectrum Insights will market GyriCalc to clinicians at a predetermined list price per patient MRI scan report. The MRI scan will be ordered by the practitioner and paid for by the patient which in most instances will be covered by medical insurance coverage.

The average price for a brain MRI in the United States is ~$1,0004. At a projected list price of $1,500 per patient we estimate a 5-Year Revenue Projection (~35% of annual projected market at 5 years).

Barriers to Entry

Though our industry, broadly speaking, has a number of competitors — large and small — with new entrants appearing regularly, in the Company’s opinion, there is one primary barrier to entry in our favor that is coupled with an important ancillary barrier to entry. These barriers to entry include:

• Intellectual Property and Patents

• Technical Learning Curve

Intellectual Property and Patents

We have an exclusive license agreement with the University of Louisville Research Foundation (“ULRF”), as the agent for the University of Louisville, for intellectual property owned by the University of Louisville (the “ULRF License Agreement”). Such intellectual property is underlying our software product. The ULRF License Agreement allows us to use certain patents or copyrights (the “Licensed Rights”) listed below in the development of our products (the “Licensed Products”). The ULRF License Agreement will continue until the expiration of the last to licensed patents, set to expire July 29, 2035, unless terminated early by the parties pursuant to the terms of the ULRF License Agreement.

Pursuant to the ULRF License Agreement, as amended, we agreed to hit certain progress milestones set out in the exhibits to the agreement:

• By January 1, 2025, we would complete verification and validation of software for implementation of the technology in a Licensed Product.

• By March 31, 2025, we would submit an application to the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to obtain 501(k), PMA or other clearance to market and sell Licensed Products in the United States

• Within 12 months of receiving FDA approval and by no later than March 31, 2026, whichever occurs first, we would make a first sale in the United States

• After the first sale, and throughout the remainder of the length of the license, we would sell at least one product every 6 months.

Under the ULRF License Agreement, in lieu of a license issuance fee, we entered into the Stock Issuance Agreement, pursuant to which we issued shares of our common stock equal to eight percent (8%) of the total equity of our company on the date of the issuance to the ULRF and four individuals, which was equal to 478,261 shares of our common stock. The shares issued pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement are restricted and have no registration rights.

Additionally, we will pay ULRF 5% of our Net Sales for all license products sold during the term of the license, and 30% of any sublicensing income. If the total amount paid to ULRF through the sum of the stock issuance and percentage of net sales in any year is less than the agreed upon annual minimum payment, we pay ULRF the difference between the compensation provided and such minimum. For the year in which the first sale of our product occurs (= “Year 1”), the minimum is $25,000, for Years 2 and 3, the annual minimum is $75,000, and for any year thereafter, the annual minimum is $150,000. Furthermore, the amended license agreement calls for milestone payments of $5,000 on December 1, 2024 and on May 21, 2025. We have also reimbursed ULRF in the amount of $34,273 for certain costs incurred prior to entry into the license agreement.

We hold licensed commercialization rights for two method of use utility patents that may provide protection for GyriCalc, supporting its position as a unique and innovative product in the market. We believe that these patents will help to safeguard key aspects of our technology, including a processor-implemented method for classifying a brain. While we cannot guarantee that these patents will fully protect against potential infringement, we believe they provide adequate coverage to deter other companies from attempting to replicate GyriCalc, ensuring its competitive edge in the marketplace.

The application is under review. The review process can take up to one year depending on the number of applications subject to clearance by the USPTO in any given year. The status of this trademark application is still pending.

Our Market Opportunity

Developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, child psychiatrists, and neuropsychologists make up the constellation of clinicians trained to diagnose autism. These are NSI’s primary target customers. Exact numbers for these clinicians are uncertain. Generally accepted estimates put the combined total number at eight to ten thousand in the Unites States and mainly concentrated in major metro areas. This comparatively small number of practitioners, combined with the subjective observational nature of assessment (current standard of care), is another contributing factor to long lead times for diagnosis. Additionally, these practitioners assess a wide range of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. Yet, it’s these clinicians that are the stage gate for getting insurance coverage needed to support the cost of autism interventional therapies.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 36 children, by the age of 8, will be diagnosed with autism. Between 2020 and 2022, United States annual live births have plateaued at 3.7 million. At a 1/36 rate, the projected number of new cases of autism over the forecast years is approximately 100,000/year. While the projected number of cases is relatively small compared to the estimated number of diagnosing clinicians, the crux of the problem is screening 3.7 million candidates each year. Additionally, screening isn’t diagnosing. It is an essential first step that falls to general pediatricians, parents, caregivers all with highly variable experiences and skills. This too is a significant contributing factor in delayed diagnosis. In a future envisioned market where an objective GyriCalc “test” would be as common as a blood test, greater screening compliance could be achieved together with greater detection precision.

Government Regulation

We will be subject to various healthcare related laws regulating fraud and abuse, pricing and sales and marketing practices and the privacy and security of health information, including the United States federal regulations described below. Many states, foreign countries and supranational bodies have also adopted laws and regulations similar to, and in some cases more stringent than, the federal regulations discussed above and below.

Regulation of Medical Devices in the United States

Our products and operations are subject to extensive and ongoing regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 and its implementing regulations, collectively referred to as the FDCA, as well as other federal and state regulatory bodies in the United States. The laws and regulations govern, among other things, product design and development, pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storage, record keeping and reporting, clearance or approval, marketing, distribution, promotion, import and export and post-marketing surveillance.

The FDA regulates the development, design, pre-clinical and clinical research, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, packaging, storage, installation, servicing, recordkeeping, premarket clearance or approval, import, export, adverse event reporting, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution of medical devices in the United States to ensure that medical devices distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses and otherwise meet the requirements of the FDCA. Failure to comply with applicable requirements may subject a device and/or its manufacturer to a variety of administrative sanctions, such as FDA refusal to approve pending premarket applications, issuance of warning letters, mandatory product recalls, import detentions, civil monetary penalties, and/or judicial sanctions, such as product seizures, injunctions and criminal prosecution.

FDA Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements

Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, approval of a premarket approval, or PMA, or grant of a de novo request for classification. During public emergencies, the FDA also may grant emergency use authorizations to allow commercial distribution of devices intended to address public health emergency. Under the FDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, Class II or Class III — depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of manufacturer and regulatory control needed to provide reasonable assurance of its safety and effectiveness. Classification of a device is important because the class to which a device is assigned determines, among other things, the necessity and type of FDA review required prior to marketing the device.

Class I devices include those with the lowest risk to the patient and are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to the FDA’s “general controls” for medical devices, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events and malfunctions through the submission of Medical Device Reports, or MDRs, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. Some Class I or low risk devices also require premarket clearance by the FDA through the 510(k) premarket notification process described below.

Class II devices are moderate risk devices subject to the FDA’s general controls, and any other “special controls” deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, such as performance standards, product-specific guidance documents, special labeling requirements, patient registries or post-market surveillance. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for Class II devices is accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification process, though certain Class II devices are exempt from this premarket review process. When required, the manufacturer must submit to the FDA a premarket notification, or 510(k), submission demonstrating that the device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally marketed predicate device, which in some cases may require submission of clinical data. Unless a specific exemption applies, 510(k) premarket notification submissions are subject to user fees. If the FDA determines that the device, or its intended use, is not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, the FDA will place the device, or the particular use of the device, into Class III, and the device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous premarketing requirements.

Class III devices include devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices and devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a predicate device following a 510(k) submission. The safety and effectiveness of Class III devices cannot be reasonably assured solely by general or special controls. Submission and FDA approval of a PMA application is required before marketing of a Class III device can proceed. As with 510(k) submissions, unless an exemption applies, PMA submissions are subject to user fees. The PMA process is much more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process. A PMA application, which is intended to demonstrate that the device is reasonably safe and effective for its intended use and must be supported by extensive data, typically including data from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials.

The FDA also has the authority to allow the commercialization of unapproved medical devices, or new uses of existing devices in times of emergency, such as during a pandemic.

510(k) Clearance Marketing Pathway

To obtain 510(k) clearance for a medical device, an applicant must submit to the FDA a 510(k) notice demonstrating that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally marketed device, known as a “predicate device.” A legally marketed predicate device may include a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (a pre-amendment device), a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or Class I, or a device that was found substantially equivalent through the 510(k) process. A device is substantially equivalent if, with respect to the predicate device, it has the same intended use and has either (1) the same technological characteristics, or (2) different technological characteristics, but the information provided in the 510(k) submission demonstrates that the device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and is at least as safe and effective as the predicate device. A showing of substantial equivalence sometimes, but not always, requires clinical data. Once the 510(k) submission is accepted for review, by regulation, the FDA has 90 calendar days to review and issue a determination. As a practical matter, clearance may take and often takes longer. Upon review, the FDA may require additional information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence. In addition, the FDA collects user fees for certain medical device submissions and annual fees and for medical device establishments.

Before the FDA will accept a 510(k) submission for substantive review, the FDA will first assess whether the submission satisfies a minimum threshold of acceptability. If the FDA determines that the 510(k) submission is incomplete, the FDA will issue a “Refuse to Accept” letter which generally outlines the information the FDA believes is necessary to permit a substantive review and to reach a determination regarding substantial equivalence. An applicant must submit the requested information within 180 days before the FDA will proceed with additional review of the submission.

If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If the FDA determines that the device is “not substantially equivalent” to a previously cleared device, for example, if the device is deemed to have a new intended use or different technological characteristics that raise different questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the cited predicate device (and no other predicate can be identified), the device is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements or can request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the “de novo” process, which is a route to market for novel medical devices that are low to moderate risk and have no suitable predicate device. If the FDA determines that the information provided in a 510(k) submission is insufficient to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the FDA generally identifies the specific information that needs to be provided so that it may complete its evaluation of substantial equivalence, and such information may be provided within the time allotted by the FDA or in a new 510(k) submission should the original one have been withdrawn.

After a device receives 510(k) marketing clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, PMA approval. The determination as to whether or not a modification meets these criteria is initially left to the manufacturer using available FDA guidance. Many minor modifications today are accomplished by a “letter to file” in which the manufacturer documents the rationale for the change and why a new 510(k) submission is not required. However, the FDA may review such letters to file to evaluate the regulatory status of the modified product at any time and may require the manufacturer to cease marketing and recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or PMA approval is obtained. The manufacturer may also be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.

Over the last several years, the FDA has proposed reforms to its 510(k) clearance process, and such proposals could include increased requirements for clinical data and a longer review period, or could make it more difficult for manufacturers to utilize the 510(k) process for their products. For example, in November 2018, FDA officials announced forthcoming steps that the FDA intends to take to modernize the premarket notification pathway under Section 510(k) of the FDCA. Among other things, the FDA announced that it planned to develop proposals to drive manufacturers utilizing the 510(k) pathway toward the use of newer predicates. These proposals included plans to potentially sunset certain older devices that were used as predicates under the 510(k) clearance pathway, and to potentially publish a list of devices that have been cleared on the basis of demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices that are more than 10 years old. In May 2019, the FDA solicited public feedback on these proposals, including on whether it should consider certain actions that might require new authority. These proposals have not yet been finalized or adopted, and the FDA may work with Congress to implement such proposals through legislation.

PMA Approval Pathway

Class III devices require PMA approval before they can be marketed in the U.S., although some pre-amendment Class III devices for which FDA has not yet required a PMA are cleared through the 510(k) process. The PMA process is generally more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process. In a PMA, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the device is reasonably safe and effective, and the PMA must be supported by extensive data, including data from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. The PMA must also contain a full description of the device and its components, a full description of the methods, facilities and controls used for manufacturing, and proposed labeling. Following receipt of a PMA, the FDA determines whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA accepts the application for review, it has 180 days under the FDCA to complete its review of a PMA, although in practice, the FDA’s review may take and often takes significantly longer, and can take up to several years. An advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. The FDA may or may not accept the panel’s recommendation. In addition, the FDA will generally conduct a pre-approval inspection of the applicant or its third-party manufacturers’ or suppliers’ manufacturing facility or facilities to ensure compliance with the QSR.

The FDA will approve the new device for commercial distribution if it determines that the data and information in the PMA constitute valid scientific evidence and that there is reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). The FDA may approve a PMA with post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution, and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical trial that supported PMA approval or requirements to conduct additional clinical trials post-approval. The FDA may also condition PMA approval on some form of post-market surveillance when deemed necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and efficacy data for the device in a larger population or for a longer period of use. In such cases, the manufacturer might be required to follow certain patient groups for a number of years and to make periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval can result in material adverse enforcement action, including withdrawal of the approval.

Certain changes to an approved device, such as changes in manufacturing facilities, methods, or quality control procedures, or changes in the design performance specifications, that affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, require submission of a PMA supplement. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a PMA, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original PMA and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. Certain other changes to an approved device require the submission of a new PMA, such as when the design change causes a different intended use, mode of operation, and technical basis of operation, or when the design change is so significant that a new generation of the device will be developed, and the data that were submitted with the original PMA are not applicable for the change in demonstrating a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.

De novo Classification

Medical device types that the FDA has not previously classified as Class I, II or III are automatically classified into Class III regardless of the level of risk they pose. To market low to moderate risk medical devices that are automatically placed into Class III due to the absence of a predicate device, a manufacturer may request a de novo down-classification of its medical device into Class I or Class II, rather than requiring the submission and approval of a PMA application. A medical device may be eligible for de novo classification if the manufacturer first submitted a 510(k) notice and received a determination from the FDA that the device was not substantially equivalent, or a manufacturer may request de novo classification directly without first submitting a 510(k) notice and receiving a not substantially equivalent determination. The FDA is required to classify the device within 120 calendar days following receipt of the de novo application, although in practice, the FDA’s review may take significantly longer. During the pendency of the FDA’s review, the FDA may issue an additional information letter, which places the de novo request on hold and stops the review clock pending receipt of the additional information requested. If the de novo requestor does not provide the requested information within 180 calendar days, the FDA will consider the de novo request to be withdrawn. If the manufacturer seeks reclassification into Class II, the manufacturer must include a draft proposal for special controls that are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the medical device. In addition, the FDA may reject the de novo request if it identifies a legally marketed predicate device that would be appropriate for a 510(k) or determines that the device is not low to moderate risk or that general controls

would be inadequate to control the risks and special controls cannot be developed. In the event the FDA determines the data and information submitted demonstrate that general controls or general and special controls are adequate to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, the FDA will grant the de novo request for classification. When the FDA grants a de novo request for classification, the device is granted marketing authorization and further can serve as a predicate for future devices of that type, through a 510(k) premarket notification.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are typically required to support a PMA, often required for a de novo request, and sometimes required to support a 510(k) notice. An application for PMA clearance under a 510(k) notice requires the identification of a competitor with the same claims which is already operating with PMA clearance from the FDA. Therefore, for a 510(k) notice to be successful, the interested party must demonstrate that the product is safe and effective under the standards of the competitor. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s investigational device exemption, or IDE, regulations which govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device, and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a “significant risk,” as defined by the FDA, to human health, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must be approved prior to commencing clinical trials. A significant risk device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, purported or represented to be used in supporting or sustaining human life, is for a use that is substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. A clinical trial may begin 30 days after receipt of the IDE by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the company that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which it requires modification, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval. Acceptance of an IDE application for review does not guarantee that the FDA will approve the IDE and, if it is approved, the FDA may or may not determine that the data derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation of clinical trials. An IDE supplement must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study plan or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects.

In addition, the clinical trials must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board, or IRB, for each clinical site. The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the IDE, and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more IRBs, clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA.

If the device is considered “non-significant risk” (“NSR”), IDE submission to the FDA is not required. Instead, only approval from the IRB overseeing the investigation at each clinical trial site is required. Abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping requirements also apply to NSR device studies.

During a study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping and prohibitions on the promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators in the clinical trial are also subject to the FDA’s regulations and must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of the investigational device, and comply with all applicable reporting and record keeping requirements.

Additionally, after a trial begins, we, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits. Even if a clinical trial is completed, there can be no assurance that the data generated during a clinical trial will meet the safety and effectiveness endpoints or otherwise produce results that will lead the FDA to grant marketing clearance or approval.

Post-market Regulation

After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:

• establishment registration and device listing with the FDA;

• QSR requirements, which require manufacturers and contract manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process;

• labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of investigational products, or “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products;

• requirements related to promotional activities;

• clearance or approval of product modifications to 510(k)-cleared devices that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use of one of our cleared devices;

• medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, if the malfunction were to recur;

• correction, removal and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections, product removals or recalls if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;

• the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations; and

• post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when deemed by the FDA to be necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.

Advertising and promotion of medical devices, in addition to being regulated by the FDA, are also regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and by state regulatory and enforcement authorities. Recently, promotional activities for FDA-regulated products have been the subject of enforcement action brought under healthcare reimbursement laws and consumer protection statutes. In addition, under the federal Lanham Act and similar state laws, competitors and others can initiate litigation relating to advertising claims. In general, if the FDA determines that our promotional materials or training constitute promotion of an unapproved or uncleared use or our products, it could request that we modify these materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider our materials to constitute promotion of an unapproved or uncleared use, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement.

Manufacturing processes for commercial products are required to comply with the applicable portions of the QSR, which cover the methods and the facilities and controls for the design, manufacture, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation and servicing of finished devices intended for human use. The QSR also requires, among other things, maintenance of a device master file, history file, device history records, and complaint files. As manufacturers, we and our contract manufacturers will be subject to periodic scheduled or unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Failure to maintain compliance with the QSR requirements could result in the shut-down of, or restrictions on, manufacturing operations and the recall or seizure of products, which would harm our business. The discovery of previously unknown problems with any of our test kits, including unanticipated adverse events or adverse events of increasing severity or frequency, whether resulting from the use of the device within the scope of its clearance or off-label by a physician in the practice of medicine, could result in restrictions on the device, including the removal of the product from the market or voluntary or mandatory device recalls.

Table of Contents

The FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that we failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions:

• warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

• unanticipated expenditures to address or defend such actions;

• customer notifications for repair, replacement, refunds;

• recall, withdrawal, administrative detention or seizure of our test kits;

• operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

• refusal of or delay in granting our requests for 510(k) clearance or PMA approval of new test kits or modified test kits;

• operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

• withdrawing 510(k) clearance or PMA approvals that are already granted;

• refusal to grant export approval for our test kits; or

• criminal prosecution.

The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal health care program, such as Medicare or Medicaid.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) prohibits knowingly and willfully (1) executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program, including private payers or (2) falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. In addition, HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, also restricts the use and disclosure of personal health information, mandates the adoption of standards relating to the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information and requires us to report certain breaches of unsecured, individually identifiable health information.

The Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires manufacturers of medical devices covered under Medicare and Medicaid to record transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals and to report this data beginning in 2013 to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for subsequent public disclosure. Similar reporting requirements have also been enacted on the state level, and an increasing number of countries worldwide either have adopted or are considering similar laws requiring transparency of interactions with health care professionals.

The False Claims Act imposes liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal health care program. The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has submitted a false claim to the federal government, and to share in any monetary recovery.

If we or our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participating in government healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment or restructuring of our operations could materially adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Board Composition

Our business and affairs are organized under the direction of our Board of Directors, which currently consists of 5 members.

Director Independence

The NYSE Marketplace Rules require a majority of a listed company’s Board of Directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the NYSE Marketplace Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NYSE Marketplace Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, a member of an audit committee of a listed company

Table of Contents

may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the Board of Directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our Board of Directors has reviewed the composition of our Board of Directors and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Rosenberg, Pottinger, Ali and Park is an “independent director” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NYSE Marketplace Rules. Our Board of Directors also determined that Jason Pottinger, who comprises our audit committee and Mark Rosenberg who comprises our compensation committee, and Boura Ali and Corey Park, who will be members of our nominating and corporate governance committee following this offering, satisfy the independence standards for such committees established by the SEC and the NYSE Marketplace Rules, as applicable. In making such determinations, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

Board Committees

The NYSE permits a phase-in period of up to one year for an issuer registering securities in an initial public offering to meet the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee independence requirements. Under the initial public offering phase-in period, only one member of each committee is required to satisfy the heightened independence requirements at the time our registration statement becomes effective, a majority of the members of each committee must satisfy the heightened independence requirements within 90 days following the effectiveness of our registration statement, and all members of each committee must satisfy the heightened independence requirements within one year from the effectiveness of our registration statement.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Jason Pottinger, who is the chair of the committee. Each of the members of our audit committee will satisfy the NYSE Marketplace Rules and SEC independence requirements. The functions of this committee will include, among other things:

• evaluating the performance, independence and qualifications of our independent auditors and determining whether to retain our existing independent auditors or engage new independent auditors;

• reviewing and approving the engagement of our independent auditors to perform audit services and any permissible non-audit services;

• reviewing our annual and quarterly financial statements and reports, including the disclosures contained under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and discussing the statements and reports with our independent auditors and management;

• reviewing with our independent auditors and management significant issues that arise regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentation and matters concerning the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of our financial controls;

• reviewing our major financial risk exposures, including the guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is implemented; and

• reviewing and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the audit committee, including compliance of the audit committee with its charter.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Jason Pottinger qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of the NYSE Marketplace Rules. In making this determination, our board has considered extensive financial experience and business background. Both our independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

Code of Ethics

Our Board plans to adopt a written code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to post on our website a current copy of the Code of Ethics and all disclosures that are required by law in regard to any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Ethics.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors, as a whole and also at the committee level, plays an active role overseeing the overall management of our risks. Our Audit Committee reviews risks related to financial and operational items with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors is in regular contact with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who report directly to the Board of Directors and who supervise day-to-day risk management.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

We face a number of risks, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Our Board of Directors believes that risk management is an important part of establishing, updating and executing our business strategy. Our Board of Directors has oversight responsibility relating to risks that could affect the corporate strategy, business objectives, compliance, operations, and the financial condition and performance of our company. Our Board of Directors focuses its oversight on the most significant risks facing us and, on our processes, to identify, prioritize, assess, manage and mitigate those risks. Our Board of Directors receives regular reports from members of our senior management on areas of material risk to us, including strategic, operational, financial, legal and regulatory risks. While our Board of Directors has an oversight role, management is principally tasked with direct responsibility for management and assessment of risks and the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate their effects on us.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the ownership of our Common Stock as of March 31, 2025, with respect to: (i) each person, or group of affiliated persons, known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our Common Stock; (ii) each of our directors; (iii) each of our named executive officers; and (iv) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group, upon the closing of this offering.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 10,974,238 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The percentage of beneficial ownership after this offering assumes the sale and issuance of shares of Common Stock in this offering and no exercise by the representative of the underwriters of its over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and/or Warrants and no conversion of notes and exercise of warrants issued pursuant to the Bridge Financing transaction (see section Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions).

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to such securities. In addition, pursuant to such rules, we deemed outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of , [*]. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the beneficial owners named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our Common Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.
