Tempus AI study validates heart rhythm prediction software

CHICAGO - Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM) announced Thursday the publication of a multi-site validation study for its FDA-cleared software that predicts one-year risk of atrial fibrillation or flutter. The study was published in Heart Rhythm, according to a press release statement. The company, valued at $8.88 billion, has seen its stock decline 30% over the past year despite reporting revenue growth of 70% in the last twelve months.

The research evaluated the Tempus ECG-AF software across three geographically distinct clinical sites. The software received FDA clearance in 2024 for predicting atrial fibrillation or flutter risk.

The study examined 4,017 patients aged 65 and older with no prior atrial fibrillation and no history of pacemaker or defibrillator use. ECG data were aggregated and patient charts were manually reviewed to identify eligible participants. Study endpoints included a new atrial fibrillation diagnosis within one year or one year of atrial fibrillation-free follow-up.

The ECG-AI-derived risk score surpassed pre-specified performance thresholds, and the resulting data supported the FDA clearance of the technology. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock currently appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value, though the company maintains a "GOOD" financial health score. Investors can explore whether TEM ranks among the Most Overvalued stocks for deeper valuation insights.

"This study marks an important step toward shifting cardiac care from late-stage intervention to early risk detection," said Brandon Fornwalt, SVP of Cardiology at Tempus and a coauthor of the study. "The ability of our AI model to consistently predict atrial fibrillation across varied clinical environments highlights its potential as a dependable decision-support tool."

Tempus ECG-AF is intended to analyze recordings of 12-lead ECG devices and detect signs associated with a patient experiencing atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter within the next 12 months. The software is designed for use on resting 12-lead ECG recordings collected at healthcare facilities from patients meeting specific criteria.

The company stated that Tempus ECG-AF was the first FDA-cleared ECG-AI device in its portfolio of cardiovascular diagnostic devices.
