Nevisense Go is a handheld and fully portable device the size of a large Pen. It combines the company's core Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement technology with a new AI-based analysis platform embedded in the device. The result is a flexible platform that will be significantly easier to both collect data and develop applications on. It will also mean products that are easier for clinicians to use and to integrate into a clinic, and better acceptance by patients.

As previously communicated, the first Nevisense Go version is released for skin barrier assessment and is targeted at researchers and Industry Partners. One of the first sales of the product is to one of the largest global industrial players, and it is this type of customer that we are initially focused on. The first release is for research and does not include a clinical indication (i.e. is released as a non-medical device), but there is significant potential within the research market, and we believe it will lead to many new applications for the technology.  From this base, SciBase will continue to develop the platform, add indications and work through the regulatory processes to deliver the next generation of new products.

 `Nevisense Go represents an important milestone for SciBase. We have spent several years gaining acceptance for our methodology and we have developed a platform that builds on what we have learned but adds many advantages for our customers and broadens considerably the potential size of our market' says Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase `Today's release is the first step with our new platform and as we deliver clinical indications from next year, we expect this to drive revenue, especially when it comes to electrode sales. In the medium term we hope to expand the use of Nevisense Go into broad new areas and to broader customer groups - expending from specialists to GPs and even potentially to use in the home.'

SciBase's product Nevisense for melanoma detection was one of the first AI-based products approved within medicine. Nevisense Go is the next generation of that product platform and builds on the experience that SciBase has gained in over 100,000 clinical patient tests. Nevisense Go is the culmination of 5 years of work and 20+ years of diagnostic experience. Together with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, SciBase has miniaturized their EIS measurement technology onto a single `chip' or application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Together with our AI partner Peltarion SciBase has developed an agile environment for AI algorithm development and together with the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF), our research partner in Davos, SciBase has developed the world's first AI-algorithms for assessment of the skin barrier. Studies in SIAF demonstrated the correlation of EIS measurements with skin barrier defects caused by enzymes, toxins and environmental agents such as detergents in mouse models and in skin barrier defective patients.

Establishing Nevisense as the standard of care in the U.S. market is my primary objective. This market accounts for three-quarters of our addressable market making it the territory with the highest potential. With the success in Germany, we have shown that Nevisense is an attractive and commercially viable product, which today generates a positive cash flow for the Group.  Ahead of an expansive phase of scaling up sales in the US, we are working intensively to secure broad reimbursement for the Nevisense procedure from additional payers. This goal is at the forefront of our strategic initiatives.

Together with our expert advisor, Pinnacle Health Group, we have developed a clear and efficient reimbursement strategy. This has already led to two Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), active across 13 states, adopting routine reimbursement for the use of Nevisense. As we now accelerate our efforts, they are reinforced by the endorsement of key opinion leaders and collaborations with premier dermatology networks across several states. Among our KOLs are Dr. Darrell Rigel, the creator of the ABCD criteria for melanoma diagnosis, which underscores the caliber of SciBase's market position.

We have strengthened the U.S. team with the appointment of Dan Walker as the head of our new talented employees, positioning us to effectively generate reimbursement claims across all major states. Once we achieve reimbursement coverage for approximately half the patient population in a state, our strategy will pivot from reimbursement to scaling up sales. By the end of 2024, I anticipate we will implement this strategic shift, state by state. We are looking to provide our shareholders with transparent updates on our progress until it is reflected in our sales metrics.

In parallel with the work in the USA, we aim to continue growing in Europe. Along with continued growth in Germany we add Switzerland, Austria and Sweden, all markets we can address with existing resources.

Our commercialization strategy is focused on skin cancer - an important and growing market predominantly found in countries with populations who have a significant need for reliable and early diagnosis. This targeted approach enables us to communicate effectively with healthcare providers and payers, ensuring that our resources are allocated to areas with the highest potential for value creation.

We estimate that we can reach profitability with an installed base of around 800-1,000 systems, each utilizing 6-7 electrodes on a weekly basis. This is somewhat higher than the previously stated 700-800 systems, reflecting a more refined understanding of our customers behavior. We currently have an installed base of around 400 customers in Germany of which approximately 200 clinics are using Nevisense on a routine basis, averaging just below six electrodes per week. In the U.S our primary focus is securing reimbursement, which means electrode usage is currently lower than in Europe.

We will present a comprehensive overview of our agenda and future plans at the Capital Markets Day on January 25 from 14:00 to 15:30. Dr. Darrell Rigel, whom I mentioned above, and Kathy Francisco, CEO of Pinnacle Health Group, will be featured as speakers at the event. A link to the live broadcast will be available on our website.

In summary, the opportunities for SciBase in 2024 are promising. With a very well-functioning and dependable technology and business model, we are investing in growth. The economic climate is challenging, but we have an attractive product that meets a strong and clear need in a growing market. I look forward to steer SciBase towards further advancements in 2024.

The JAAD publication titled "Impact of Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy on Dermatologists' Number-Needed-to-Biopsy Metric and Biopsy Decisions for Pigmented Skin Lesions"  sought to evaluate improvements in clinical accuracy in melanoma detection, while the SKIN publication titled "Integrating Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy into Clinical Decisions for Pigmented Skin Lesions Improves Diagnostic Accuracy: A Multitiered Study" sought to evaluate the differences between practicing dermatologists, physician's assistants, nurses and residents. All clinician types (dermatologists, physician's assistants, nurses and residents) improved by similar amounts, and the clinicians with the lowest number of correct evaluations improved the most. The publications are based on clinical evaluations of lesions in reader studies. The JAAD publication included 267 dermatologists while the SKIN publication included 591 clinicians (dermatologists, physician's assistants, nurses and residents). All clinicians evaluated lesions using visual evaluation only, and then they added the Nevisense information in over 25,000 evaluations.The key study takeaways were:

  • The number of `missed melanomas' fell from ~7% to < 1%
  • Overall sensitivity (ability to correctly identify melanoma) increased on average across the groups by 14% and specificity (ability to accurately identify benign moles) by 10.2%
  • In total, clinicians identified 1,343 more melanomas with Nevisense compared to visual evaluation alone. 
  • All clinician types (dermatologists, nurses and residents) improved a similar amount, and the clinicians with the lowest number of correct evaluations improved the most.
  • In the JAAD study, dermatologists improved their sensitivity from 84 to 98%, their specificity from 34% to 44% and their NNB (Number Needed to Biopsy) from 6.3 to 5.3.

"Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, but when detected early, treatment has a nearly 100% cure rate making early detection critical to survival. These studies show a significant reduction of missed melanomas from ~7% to less than 1%, a further indication of the clinical value Nevisense can bring by helping clinicians identify melanomas and improve performance across the board. This is the first time this type of study has been performed and we are pleased with the results," stated Dr. Darrell S. Rigel, Clinical Professor, Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. "These results further demonstrate the benefits of early melanoma detection with Nevisense, and I am pleased that we are able to share our findings with the clinical community demonstrating the benefits of this technology for patients."

"Clinicians face difficult decisions every day when they evaluate moles, so it was very positive to see that Nevisense could so significantly improve their accuracy. Nevisense was able to help clinicians of all levels of experience, and especially those who were most in need of support," said Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase.  "Dr. Rigel's studies confirmed what we see from our users in the field - significant clinical benefit for both clinicians and patients. This is further proof of the potential for Nevisense to improve the standard of care of melanoma detection in the United States and will provide timely support to our ongoing reimbursement process."

The goal of the ACTIVATE study is to explore how differences in the gut microbiome of an infant affect its susceptibility to allergies. The study will compare groups born vaginally with those born by Cesarean section with and without so-called "vaginal seeding" of the infant microbiome. The study will examine whether vaginal seeding lowers the risk that infants test positive for allergies at one year of age. ACTIVATE will enroll 120 pregnant women and their babies, and will focus on those babies that are at higher-risk for developing allergies.

The infants will be followed for the first year of life, and SciBase's product Nevisense will be used to measure skin properties including barrier function and evaluate whether these measurements can help predict the development of allergies or monitor their progress.

"We look forward to adding Nevisense to the study and together with SciBase identify opportunities where these measurements can help clinicians manage these patients" says Dr. Hugh Sampson, Professor of Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Director Emeritus of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute.

"We are excited to participate in this clinical study which may help provide important guidance on how to reduce the risk that an infant will develop allergies. We look forward to seeing how our unique measurement methodology can help clinicians gain new insight into the skin of these infants and in doing so hopefully help this patient group" says Simon Grant, CEO of SciBase.
