BioSig Technologies, Inc . (OTCQB: BSGM), a medical device company developing a proprietary platform designed to address an unmet technology need for the $4.6 billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, today announced that the Company has concluded a key part of the strategic planning project launched earlier this year in collaboration with Health Research International (HRI). Project goals included understanding and presenting the clinical relevance of BioSig's technology, pricing strategies, and envisioning optimal applications of BioSig's platform technology beyond EP.

As part of the study, HRI conducted a detailed survey of U.S. electrophysiologists primarily based in New York, Texas, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Among the factors interfering with effective ablations, the inability to record high quality unipolar signals and difficulty detecting small intracardiac signals were consistently reported.

Survey respondents rated all six features of PURE EP System as being 'Very Helpful' for their ablations, emphasizing overall noise reduction and improved signal clarity/accuracy as key benefits. Most respondents see signal clarity as paramount to the success of ablations and indicated interest in a technology that reduces 'noise'. PURE EP System's ability to shorten procedure time - including the ability to perform more complex ablations - was listed as its definitive economic benefit. These expected time savings were largely responsible for the attractive pricing recommended for PURE EP System.

"The two key factors impacting the successful adoption of a new technology are that it address an unmet need and that its ability to fill that need is fairly easily understood. According to our survey results, PURE EP System meets both criteria. The unmet need is interference with the signals that drive complex EP ablation procedures; the solution is PURE EP's ability to eliminate most "noise" and waveform interference, thereby enhancing signal breadth and clarity, and reducing the time required to perform these procedures," commented Suzanne Ratzloff, President of Health Research International, about the survey results.

"We are pleased with the results this study has delivered. Having seen the impact that Health Research International has had on product launches for many established companies in our sector, we knew we were working with a gold standard in strategic planning and market forecasting. We have seen a consistent response amongst the EP community, which has confirmed our expectations for the clinical relevance of PURE EP System. Furthermore, we have seen that the assessment of PURE EP features increased with the size of the respondent's complex ablations caseload, suggesting a greater appreciation of PURE EP among busier EP labs. This is an excellent outcome during this pivotal point in our Company's business development, " said Kenneth Londoner, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of BioSig Technologies, Inc.
