THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 1. THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company Aclarion, Inc., formerly Nocimed, Inc., (the “Company” or “Aclarion”) is a healthcare technology company that leverages magnetic resonance spectroscopy (“MRS”), and a proprietary biomarker to optimize clinical treatments. The Company was formed in February 2015, is incorporated in Delaware, and has its principal place of business in Broomfield, Colorado. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, its limited operating history, competition from other companies, limited access to additional funds, dependence on key personnel, and management of potential rapid growth. To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, develop its customer base; implement and successfully execute its business and marketing strategy; develop follow-on products; provide superior customer service; and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in addressing these or other such risks. Initial Public Offering On April 21, 2022, the registration statement for our initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective. In connection with the effectiveness of the IPO registration statement: · we effected a 1-for-7.47 reverse stock split · accordingly, all common share amounts and per share data presented in our condensed financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented; · we filed a restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware and we adopted new restated Bylaws; · certain outstanding common stock warrants were exercised on a net share basis for 60,408 common shares ( 3,776 · 24,495,004 outstanding shares of our preferred stock were converted into 3,279,117 common shares ( 204,945 common shares after giving effect to the 2024 Stock Split); · all accrued dividends on our outstanding Series B, B-1, B-2 and B-3 preferred stock were converted to 984,429 common shares ( 61,527 · all accrued interest on the Company's outstanding secured promissory notes was converted into (i) 426,768 c ommon shares ( 26,673 shares of common stock ( 26,673 On April 26, 2022, the Company completed its IPO of 2,165,000 4.35 Each unit consisted of (i) one share of common stock (equivalent to 0.0625 of a common share following the 2024 Split) and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of common stock (adjusted to 0.0625 of a common share following the 2024 Split) with a per share exercise price of $4.35 (adjusted to $69.60 following the 2024 Split). 20,297 8.6 million In connection with the IPO, we issued to the representative of the underwriters a common stock warrant to purchase 173,200 shares of common stock ( 10,825 On April 21, 2022, options to purchase 1,204,819 shares of common stock ( 75,301 On April 21, 2022, in connection with the IPO, the Company’s 2022 Aclarion Equity Incentive Plan, or “2022 Plan”, became effective. Our board of directors has appointed the compensation committee of our board of directors as the committee under the 2022 Plan with the authority to administer the 2022 Plan. At the 2022 Plan effective date, the aggregate number of our shares of common stock that could be issued or used for reference purposes under the 2022 Plan could not exceed 2,000,000 shares ( 125,000 On April 29, 2022, in connection with the IPO, a bonus was paid to David Neal and Brent Ness of $ 100,000 130,000 On May 2, 2022, in connection with the IPO, the Company paid the University of California - San Francisco the amount of $ 123,828 2022 Reverse Stock Split On April 21, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-7.47 reverse stock split (the “2022 Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding common stock. 2024 Reverse Stock Split In March 2023 the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split proposal at a ratio in the range of one-for-five to one-for-fifty, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company's board in its discretion without further approval from the Company's stockholders. In January 2024, the Company's board subsequently approved the final reverse stock split ratio of one-for-sixteen (the “2024 Stock Split”) As a result of the 2022 Stock Split and the 2024 Stock Split, unless described otherwise, all references to common stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock splits for all periods presented. In addition, any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued as a result of the stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Further, the number of shares issuable and exercise prices of stock options and warrants have been retrospectively adjusted in these financial statements for all periods presented to reflect the 2022 Stock Split and the 2024 Stock Split.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to depreciation, amortization, valuation of capital stock, and valuation of warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company's preferred and common stock. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. Valuation of Derivative Instruments Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities are estimated using level 3 inputs (see Note 4). Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has derivative financial instruments that are not hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in other income (expenses), on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no 761,800 1,229,000 10,000 Accounts Receivable, Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 0 Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when a contract with a customer exists, and at that point in time when we have delivered a Nociscan report to our customer. Revenue is recognized in the amount that reflects the negotiated consideration expected to be received in exchange for those reports. Following the delivery of the report, the company has no ongoing obligations or services to provide to the customer. Customers pay no other upfront, licensing, or other fees. To date, our reports are not reimbursable under any third-party payment arrangements, The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules in its sales arrangements. Payment terms range generally from 30 to 90 days, from the date of invoice. Geographic Locations & Segments Approximately 13 9 Segment Disclosure The Company has a single operating and reporting segment, which is the delivery of Nociscan reports to our customers. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over seven years. Computer and office equipment and computer software are depreciated over five years. Repairs and maintenance costs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable using pre-tax undiscounted cash flows. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Sales and Marketing Expenses The Company expenses the costs of sales and marketing its products and services as incurred. The primary drivers of cost have been employee payroll, website and branding development, press releases, attendance at various industry conferences, Key Opinion Leader consulting fees in the form of restricted stock grants, and travel expenses. Research and Development Costs Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. These costs include direct compensation, benefits, and other headcount related costs for research and development personnel; costs for materials used in research and development activities; costs for outside services and allocated portions of facilities and other corporate costs. The Company has entered into research and clinical study arrangements with selected hospitals, cancer treatment centers, academic institutions and research institutions worldwide. These agreements support the Company’s internal research and development capabilities. General & Administrative General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs, including stock-based compensation, legal fees relating to both intellectual property and corporate matters, accounting and audit related costs, insurance, corporate communications and public company expenses, information technology, depreciation, amortization and maintenance, and fees for consulting, business development and other professional services. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern As of December 31, 2023, we had cash of approximately $ 1 As a result of the Company’s recurring losses from operations, and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation The exercise or strike price of each option is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. The Company issues restricted stock unit awards to non-employee consultants who are providing various services. The awards are valued at the market price on the date of the grant. The awards vest over the contract life and based on achievement of targeted performance milestones. On occasion, the Company grants common stock to compensate vendors for services rendered. Deferred Financing Costs The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other fees and costs that are directly attributable to in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are completed. Upon the completion of an equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital of the related offering. Upon the completion of the IPO in April 2022, approximately $ 1.5 204,647 Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses. A valuation allowance was established against these deferred tax assets at their full amount, resulting in a zero balance of deferred tax assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. |

REVENUE | NOTE 6. REVENUE Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections may result in trade, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues on the balance sheets. At times, revenue recognition may occur before the billing, resulting in an unbilled receivable, which would represent a contract asset. The contract asset would be a component of accounts receivable and other assets for the current and non-current portions, respectively. In the event the Company receives advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, this would result in a contract liability. In years ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company invoiced as services were performed and did not invoice in advance; the company has no contract balances. |

In accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the embedded redemption features and contingent interest feature were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and shall be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date. The Company fair valued such derivative liabilities and recorded a debt discount at issuance of the notes of $ 320,561 The Company issued warrants to purchase 1,232,156 and 744,890 shares of common stock (77,010 and 46,556 shares, respectively, after giving effect to the 2024 Stock Split) to the holders of the Senior Notes Payable and Series C Notes Payable (collectively the “Senior Notes Warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.6262 and $0.2856 per share ($10.02 and $4.58 post-2024 split), respectively. The Company accounted for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision these warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. As such, these warrants are recorded at fair value as of each reporting date with the change in fair value reported within other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “Change in fair value of warrant liability” until the warrants are exercised, expired or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

The aggregate commitment fees had a fair value at issuance of $208,916 and are recorded as a deferred financing cost.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $ 497,763 The following table reconciles the aggregate amount for the Senior Notes Payable, Series B Notes Payable, and Series C Notes Payable as well as the unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts relating to the derivative liabilities and warrant liabilities.

Each unit consisted of (i) one share of common stock (equivalent to 0.0625 of a common share following the 2024 Split) and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of common stock (adjusted to 0.0625 of a common share following the 2024 Split) warrant with a per share exercise price of $4.35 (adjusted to $69.60 following the 2024 Split). On April 22, 2022, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased additional common stock warrants to purchase 324,750 common shares (adjusted to 20,297 common shares following the 2024 Split). The common stock and the IPO Warrants were immediately separable and issued separately in the offering. The IPO Warrants are listed and tradeable on the NASDAQ stock market, immediately exercisable at the option of the holder, and expire five years from the date of issuance. In connection with the IPO, we issued to the representative of the underwriters’ common stock warrants to purchase 10,825 shares of common stock (post-2024 Stock Split) with an exercise price of $87.04 (post-2024 Stock Split) per share. The representative's warrants are exercisable commencing October 26, 2022, and will expire on April 26, 2027. The Company evaluated the terms of all warrants issued at the IPO and determined that they should be classified as equity instruments based upon accounting guidance provided in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Other Outstanding Warrants As of December 31, 2023, we had other outstanding warrants to purchase 128,057 123,566 2.315 4,491 0.0002 The per share exercise price of the warrants described in clause (i) above is subject to a “ratchet” adjustment if the Company issues securities at an effective per share price lower than the then effective warrant exercise price. White Lion Equity Line Agreement On October 9, 2023, the Company entered into an equity line common stock purchase agreement (the “Equity Line Purchase Agreement”) and a related registration rights agreement with White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”). Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $ 10,000,000 It is anticipated that the Company may sell shares of common stock to White Lion from time-to-time over a sales period that expires December 31, 2024. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale to White Lion under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement is dependent upon the number of shares we elect to sell to White Lion under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement. The actual number of shares of common stock that are sold to White Lion may depend based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the time that the Equity Line Purchase Agreement in is effect. The actual gross proceeds the Company may derive from the Equity Line Purchase Agreement may be less than $ 10 The Company currently has an effective registration statement to register for resale by White Lion 2,500,000 The sale of a substantial number of shares to White Lion, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise desire. The number of shares of our common stock ultimately offered for resale by White Lion is dependent upon the number of shares of common stock issued to White Lion pursuant to the Equity Line Purchase Agreement. Depending on a variety of factors, including market liquidity of our common stock, the issuance of shares to White Lion may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. In consideration for the commitments of White Lion, as described above, the Company issued to White Lion 187,500 pre-split shares (11,719 post-2024 Stock Split) of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”), having a value of $75,000 based upon the closing sale price of Common Stock on October 6, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company sold to White Lion 4,575,000 newly issued pre-split common shares (285,938 post-2024 Stock Split) for proceeds of $1,462,949. |

NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK | NOTE 14. NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK In January 2024, the Company’s board approved the final reverse stock split ratio of one-for-sixteen, which resulted in a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock and a proportionate increase in the value of each share. The common stock began trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ on January 4, 2024. The retrospective effect of the reverse stock split has been incorporated on a retrospective basis in the tabular disclosures of loss per share and weighted average outstanding shares for the fiscal years 2023 and 2022 herein. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number shares of common stock outstanding, vested restricted stock units, and pre-funded warrants during the year. Potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for loss periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive. A post-split reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to stockholders follows: Schedule of reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share December 31, 2022 2023 (restated) Numerator: Net loss allocable to common shareholders used to compute basic and diluted loss per common share $ (4,911,374 ) $ (7,484,116 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares used to compute basic and dilutive loss per share (post-split) 556,808 381,598 The following outstanding potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of dilutive loss per share attributable to common stockholders because their impact would have been antidilutive for the period presented: Schedule of anti-dilutive securities excluded from computation of earnings per share December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Shares issuable on Series A and B convertible preferred stock – 51,236 Shares issuable on warrants 255,270 145,624 Shares issuable on restricted stock units 49,185 3,127 Shares issuable on options 171,033 155,114 475,488 355,101 |

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 2022 Aclarion Equity Incentive Plan On April 21, 2022, in connection with the IPO, the Company’s 2022 Aclarion Equity Incentive Plan, or “2022 Plan”, went into effect. Our board of directors has appointed the compensation committee of our board of directors as the committee under the 2022 Plan with the authority to administer the 2022 Plan. The aggregate number of our shares of common stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes under the 2022 Plan is 2,000,000 As of the year ended December 31, 2023, the aggregate number of our shares of common stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes under the 2022 Plan was 2,470,814 Options granted under the 2022 Plan may be incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options, as determined by the administrator at the time of grant of an option. Restricted stock may also be granted under the 2022 Plan. The options vest in accordance with the grant terms and are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from grant date. The Company did not grant any stock options for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the options granted for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions: Schedule of assumptions used for valuation Risk-free interest rate (4/2022 – 8/2022) 1.99 Risk-free interest rate (9/2022 – 12/2022) 3.67 Dividend yield – Expected term 6-8 years Expected volatility 66.35 Nocimed, Inc. 2015 Stock Plan The Company maintains the Nocimed, Inc. 2015 Stock Plan, or the “Existing Plan”, under which the Company could grant 152,558 shares (after giving effect to the 2024 Stock Split) or options of the Company to our employees, consultants, and other service providers. The Company suspended the Existing Plan in connection with the April 2022, initial public offering. The Company did not grant any stock options under the Existing Plan for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. No further awards will be granted under the Existing Plan, but awards granted prior to the suspension date will continue in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Existing Plan. Determining Fair Value of Stock Options The fair value of each grant of stock options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

INCOME TAXES | NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes. A reconciliation of the federal income tax rates to the Company’s effective tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2023 consist of the following: Schedule of reconciliation of the federal income tax rates 2023 U.S. federal statutory rate 21.0 % Effects of: State taxes, net of federal benefit 7.0 % Stock based compensation (0.6 )% Permanent differences (0.3 )% Other (0.3 )% Change in valuation allowance (26.8 )% Effective rate – % Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 are summarized below.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Reverse Stock Split In March 2023 the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split proposal at a ratio in the range of one-for-five to one-for-fifty, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company's board in its discretion without further approval from the Company's stockholders. In January 2024, the Company's board approved the final reverse stock split ratio of one-for-sixteen, which resulted in a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock and a proportionate increase in the value of each share. The common stock began trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ on January 4, 2024. The following table presents selected share information reflecting on a retroactive basis the reverse stock splits for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022: Year ended December 31, 2023 2022 Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted - pre-2024 split 8,908,934 6,105,569 Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted - post-2024 split 556,808 381,598 Basic and diluted net loss per shares attributable to common stockholders - pre-2024 split $ (0.55 ) $ (1.23 ) Basic and diluted net loss per shares attributable to common stockholders - post-2024 split $ (8.82 ) $ (19.61 ) White Lion Equity Line Agreement On October 9, 2023, the Company entered into an equity line common stock purchase agreement (the “Equity Line Purchase Agreement”) and a related registration rights agreement with White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”).

Public Offering; Placement Agent Agreement; Warrants; Prefunded Warrants On February 26, 2024, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim” or the “Placement Agent”) pursuant to which the Company engaged Maxim as the placement agent for a registered public offering by the Company (the “Offering”), of an aggregate of 5,175,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.58 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, and net proceeds of $2.7M after deducting expenses. Each Unit is comprised of (i) one share of common stock or, in lieu of common stock or one prefunded warrant to purchase a share of common stock, and (ii) two common warrants, each common warrant to purchase a share of common stock. The prefunded warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.00001 per share of common stock and only expire when such prefunded warrants are fully exercised. The common warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.58 per share of common stock and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering, together with our existing cash, to fund clinical studies, repay outstanding debt, build out product platforms, expand our sales and marketing efforts, and for general and administration expenses and other general corporate purposes. The Offering closed on February 27, 2024. Nasdaq Delisting Notices As previously disclosed, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq on March 3, 2023, that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Subsequent to a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, the Company was granted an extension, ultimately, through February 27, 2024, to evidence compliance with the Rule. As a result of the Offering described above, the Company received confirmation from Nasdaq on February 29, 2024, stating that the Company has regained compliance with the Equity Rule, as required by the Hearing Panel’s decision dated November 7, 2023. The Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year. If, within that one-year monitoring period, Nasdaq finds the Company again out of compliance with the Equity Rule, the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency, and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period. Instead, Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter, and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Hearings Panel, or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Hearings Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond and present to the Hearings Panel. The Company’s securities may be at that time delisted from Nasdaq. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Valuation of Derivative Instruments | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to depreciation, amortization, valuation of capital stock, and valuation of warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company's preferred and common stock. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. Valuation of Derivative Instruments Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities are estimated using level 3 inputs (see Note 4). |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has derivative financial instruments that are not hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in other income (expenses), on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no 761,800 1,229,000 10,000 |
Accounts Receivable, Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable, Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 0 |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when a contract with a customer exists, and at that point in time when we have delivered a Nociscan report to our customer. Revenue is recognized in the amount that reflects the negotiated consideration expected to be received in exchange for those reports. Following the delivery of the report, the company has no ongoing obligations or services to provide to the customer. Customers pay no other upfront, licensing, or other fees. To date, our reports are not reimbursable under any third-party payment arrangements, The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules in its sales arrangements. Payment terms range generally from 30 to 90 days, from the date of invoice. |
Geographic Locations & Segments | Geographic Locations & Segments Approximately 13 9 |
Segment Disclosure | Segment Disclosure The Company has a single operating and reporting segment, which is the delivery of Nociscan reports to our customers. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over seven years. Computer and office equipment and computer software are depreciated over five years. Repairs and maintenance costs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable using pre-tax undiscounted cash flows. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. |
Sales and Marketing Expenses | Sales and Marketing Expenses The Company expenses the costs of sales and marketing its products and services as incurred. The primary drivers of cost have been employee payroll, website and branding development, press releases, attendance at various industry conferences, Key Opinion Leader consulting fees in the form of restricted stock grants, and travel expenses. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. These costs include direct compensation, benefits, and other headcount related costs for research and development personnel; costs for materials used in research and development activities; costs for outside services and allocated portions of facilities and other corporate costs. The Company has entered into research and clinical study arrangements with selected hospitals, cancer treatment centers, academic institutions and research institutions worldwide. These agreements support the Company’s internal research and development capabilities. |
General & Administrative | General & Administrative General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs, including stock-based compensation, legal fees relating to both intellectual property and corporate matters, accounting and audit related costs, insurance, corporate communications and public company expenses, information technology, depreciation, amortization and maintenance, and fees for consulting, business development and other professional services. |
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern | Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern As of December 31, 2023, we had cash of approximately $ 1 As a result of the Company’s recurring losses from operations, and the need for additional financing to fund its operating and capital requirements, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation The exercise or strike price of each option is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. The Company issues restricted stock unit awards to non-employee consultants who are providing various services. The awards are valued at the market price on the date of the grant. The awards vest over the contract life and based on achievement of targeted performance milestones. On occasion, the Company grants common stock to compensate vendors for services rendered. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other fees and costs that are directly attributable to in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are completed. Upon the completion of an equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital of the related offering. Upon the completion of the IPO in April 2022, approximately $ 1.5 204,647 |
Emerging Growth Company Status | Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses. A valuation allowance was established against these deferred tax assets at their full amount, resulting in a zero balance of deferred tax assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. |
