Key highlights from the fourth quarter and recent weeks include:

• Movano Health continues to progress toward the summer 2023 launch of its first commercial product, the Evie Ring.
• Given the strong demand in its initial beta, the Company announced a second beta program with a new slate of partners, among which are a global athletic apparel company and two additional leading global medical device companies.

• The Company plans to commence the first blood pressure and glucose clinical studies using its proprietary single chip technology imminently.
• Movano Health has recently been issued nine new U.S. patents, including multiple foundational patents that protect the Company's unique method, system and algorithms used for measuring blood pressure and glucose non-invasively and without a cuff.

"It's an exciting time at Movano Health as we're about to launch our first product, the Evie Ring, transitioning us from a pre- to revenue-generating company and opening the door to a massive opportunity for product partnerships," said John Mastrototaro, CEO of Movano Health. "With the Evie Ring and our future pipeline of devices, we're forging new territory by developing products positioned at the intersection of medtech and consumer devices, a market opportunity we believe is worth $50 billion in the United States alone."

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

Movano Health continues to progress toward the summer 2023 launch of its first commercial product, the Evie Ring. After unveiling the ring at the Consumer Electronics Show in early 2023, the Evie Ring won a total of 11 Best of CES awards from premium publications including CNN, USA Today, Wired and Digital Trends, which highlighted the Company's focus on women, the open design of the ring, the portability of the charger and the ring's competitive price point with no monthly subscription. Building off the strong momentum from CES, Movano Health began paid and organic campaigns and is seeing impressive results which show both promise and demand for the launch of a female-first wearable.

In order to gain additional valuable user feedback, the Company has commenced its first round of beta programs with four initial partners including Novant Health, Stanford University, a major global pharmaceutical company and a leading patient-focused medical device company. Given the strong demand in its initial beta, the Company announced a second beta program with a new slate of partners, among which are a global athletic apparel company and two additional leading global medical device companies. Movano Health expects its beta programs to highlight the opportunity for integrated product partnerships with the Evie Ring to monitor a variety of specific medical conditions, improve patient outcomes and act as a driver of innovation and growth. 

Movano Health plans to file its first 510(k) submission for FDA clearance of the Evie Ring's heart rate and SpO₂ data this spring following a successful hypoxia pivotal trial in Q4 of 2022. During the Q4 hypoxia study, comparing the overall accuracy of the ring's data with data from the study's reference devices, the Evie Ring resulted in an approximate 2% margin of error, well below the FDA consensus standard of 3.5% for SpO₂.The Evie Ring's heart rate monitor had root mean square error of approximately 2 beats per minute, which is also in line with the FDA's requirements.

The Company successfully implemented its proprietary System-on-a-Chip, which is the smallest ever RF-enabled integrated circuit designed specifically for blood pressure or glucose monitoring, into a new, battery powered wrist worn device that is smaller than most wrist worn wearables today. It plans to commence the first blood pressure and glucose clinical studies using its proprietary single chip technology imminently.

Movano Health has recently been issued nine new U.S. patents, including multiple foundational patents that protect the Company's unique method, system and algorithms used for measuring blood pressure and glucose non-invasively and without a cuff. The new patents validate the Company's cutting-edge approach to RF enabled glucose and blood pressure monitoring and extend its growing intellectual property portfolio to 21 patents issued in the United States, 1 patent issued in China and 36 pending worldwide.
