Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Business Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (“Bluejay” or the “Company”) is a medical diagnostics company developing rapid tests using whole blood on our Symphony technology platform (“Symphony”) to improve patient outcomes in critical care settings. The Company’s Symphony platform is a combination of Bluejay’s intellectual property (“IP”) and exclusively licensed and patented IP that consists of a mobile device and single-use test cartridges that if cleared, authorized, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), can provide a solution to a significant market need in the United States. Clinical trials indicate the Symphony device produces results in less than 20 minutes for intensive care units and emergency rooms, where rapid and reliable results are required. Bluejay’s first product, the Symphony IL-6 test, is for the monitoring of disease progression in critical care settings. IL-6 is a clinically established inflammatory biomarker, considered a ‘first-responder,’ for assessment of severity of infection and inflammation across many disease indications, including sepsis. A current challenge of healthcare professionals is the excessive time and cost associated determining a patient’s level of severity at triage and the Symphony IL-6 test has the ability to consistently monitor this critical care biomarker with rapid results. In the future Bluejay plans to develop additional tests for Symphony including two cardiac biomarkers (hsTNT and NT pro-BNP), as well as other tests using the Symphony platform. The Company does not yet have regulatory clearance for its Symphony products, and its Symphony products will need to receive regulatory authorization from the FDA in order to be marketed as a diagnostic product in the United States. We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 20, 2015. Our headquarters is located in Acton, Massachusetts. On June 4, 2021, the Company formed Bluejay Spinco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for purposes of further development of the Company’s ALLEREYE diagnostic test. ALLEREYE is a point-of-care device offering healthcare providers a solution for diagnosing Allergic Conjunctivitis. FDA Regulatory and Clinical Trial Update Our current regulatory strategy is designed to support commercialization of Symphony in the United States pending marketing authorization from the FDA. Previously, our regulatory strategy involved clinical studies involving COVID-19 patients. However, we have shifted our focus away from COVID-19 patients due to a significant decline in the number of COVID-19 related hospitalizations. Pursuant to this revised strategy, we are in the process of completing In the first quarter of 2024, we initiated multicenter SYmphony IL-6 MONitoring Sepsis (“SYMON”) clinical studies investigating the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock. This prospective study aims to assess the performance of IL-6 upon initial presentation to the intensive care unit (ICU). A preliminary analysis of the SYMON-I pilot clinical study (registered clinical trial number NCT06181604) highlighted that baseline levels of IL-6 are strongly associated with both in-hospital (40 survivors, 7 non-survivors) and 28-day mortality (31 survivors, 7 non-survivors) among sepsis patients. In contrast, baseline Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score which is used to assess organ dysfunction in sepsis patients did not predict in-hospital or 28-day mortality. We believe that the findings underscore the potential importance of IL-6 as a predictor and provide new insights into the potential pathways for improving sepsis outcomes. Following these results, we are planning next steps in our clinical study process, which include a final analysis of the SYMON-I clinical study dataset upon completion of the study. Subject to our ability to remain a going concern, we intend to present the data at a future national scientific meeting and publish in peer-reviewed publications. The final results from the SYMON-I clinical study would inform the SYMON-II validation study, which we would plan to use to support a 510(k) application, which we are targeting for submission in 2025. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in its industry, including rapid technological change, competition from larger biotechnology companies and dependence on key personnel. The Company is also impacted by inflationary pressures and global supply chain disruptions currently impacting many companies. Our common stock currently is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We are required to meet specified financial requirements in order to maintain such listing, including a requirement that the bid price for our common stock remain above $1.00, and that the market value of our publicly held securities be at least $1 million. On February 28, 2024, we received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days and that we therefore are not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we have a period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1.00 or higher for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, and in such case, Nasdaq will provide us with written confirmation of compliance. If we do not regain compliance by August 26, 2024, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, provided that we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, except the bid price requirement. If we are not eligible or it appears to Nasdaq that we will not be able to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, Nasdaq will provide written notice to us that our common stock will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant our request for continued listing. We intend to take all reasonable measures available to us to achieve compliance to allow for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria. If our common stock does not regain compliance with the minimum price requirement during the applicable compliance period, we may need to effect a reverse stock split, whereby shares of our common stock are consolidated so that the per-share trading price becomes greater than $1.00 per share. At our annual meeting of stockholders on May 14, 2024, our shareholders provided our Board of Directors with authority to implement such a reverse stock split, and our Board of Directors is currently evaluating whether and when to implement such a reverse stock split. As of the close of business on May 9, 2024, the market value of our publicly held common stock (which is our only outstanding class of securities) was approximately $1.25 million. If the value of our publicly held common stock declines below $1 million, we would also be subject to Nasdaq delisting proceedings on that basis. If our common stock is delisted, we may seek to have our common stock quoted on an over-the-counter marketplace, such as on the OTCQX. The OTCQX is not a stock exchange, and if our common stock trades on the OTCQX rather than a securities exchange, there may be significantly less trading volume and analyst coverage of, and significantly less investor interest in, our common stock, which may lead to lower trading prices for our common stock. Any potential delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market may have materially adverse consequences to our stockholders, including: ● A reduced market price and liquidity with respect to our shares of common stock, which could make our ability to raise new investment capital more difficult; ● limited dissemination of the market price of our common stock; ● limited news coverage; ● limited interest by investors in our common stock; ● volatility of the prices of our common stock, due to low trading volume; ● our common stock being considered a “penny stock,” which would result in broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock being subject to the regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; ● increased difficulty in selling our common stock in certain states due to “blue sky” restrictions; and ● limited ability to issue additional securities or to secure additional financing. On July 24, 2023, the Company executed a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized outstanding number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 7,500,000. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on July 24, 2023. All of the Company’s 2023 historical share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options and warrants exercisable for common stock in these financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-20 reverse stock split. Going Concern Uncertainty The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Our operations to date have been funded primarily through the proceeds of (i) our initial public offering (the “IPO”) in November 2021 (the “IPO Date”), (ii) the registered direct offering of common stock and concurrent private placement of warrants that we completed on August 28, 2023, and (iii) the public offering of common stock and warrants that we completed on January 2, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company possessed cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 million, while having current liabilities of approximately $1.5 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.3 million. The Company expects that it will need to raise a material amount of additional capital in the imminent near-term to continue its operations, and that absent such near-term funding, it will likely run out of available cash resources in the near-term. The Company’s board of directors has been exploring potential pathways for material financing, or other strategic alternatives, and to date, the board of directors has not been able to identify alternatives that it believes to be viable. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the imminent future, the Company’s board of directors could determine to cause the Company to undertake a process of liquidation under Chapter 7 of applicable U.S. bankruptcy laws. In such event, the Company does not currently expect that holders of shares of common stock of the Company would recoup any material value in such process. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) consistent with those applied in, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024, its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, in accordance with US GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements, as allowed by the relevant U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, or any other interim period within this fiscal year. |

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2 . During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no changes to the significant accounting policies as described in the 2023 Audited Financial Statements. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company believes judgment is involved in accounting for the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals, and warrants. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Stock-based compensation Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees is determined using the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted. The Company recognizes the compensation cost of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over the implied service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been achieved. The Company recognizes forfeitures related to employee stock-based payments when they occur. Forfeited options are recorded as a reduction to stock compensation expense. Research and development expenses Costs incurred in the research and development of new products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies, fees for professional service providers and costs associated with product development efforts, including preclinical studies and clinical trials. The Company estimates preclinical study and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on its behalf. Segment Reporting Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment, which is consistent with the Company structure and how it manages the business. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the majority of the Company’s assets were located in the United States. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, options outstanding under the Company’s stock option plan and warrants. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti -dilutive are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares): Potentially Dilutive Securities Listing: March 31, 2024 2023 Options to purchase common stock 29,770 36,992 Restricted stock units (RSUs) 1,000 9,875 Warrants for common stock 271,714 40,594 Class A warrants for common stock 124,200 124,200 Class B warrants for common stock 3,770 3,770 5-Year warrants for common stock 2,692,308 - Prefunded warrants for common stock 1,243,000 - Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This amends the ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to simplify the guidance on (1) accounting for convertible instruments, and (2) the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance on earnings per share (“EPS”) has also been amended to simplify the calculations and make them more internally consistent. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2024. The new standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |

License and Supply Agreement with Toray Industries [Abstract] | |
LICENSE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH TORAY INDUSTRIES | 3. LICENSE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH TORAY INDUSTRIES On October 23, 2023, the Company and Toray entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “New Toray License Agreement”) and a Master Supply Agreement (the “New Toray Supply Agreement”). Under the New Toray License Agreement, the Company continues to license from Toray intellectual property rights needed to manufacture single-use test cartridges, and the Company has received the right to sublicense certain Toray intellectual property to Sanyoseiko in connection with Sanyoseiko’s ongoing agreement with the Company to manufacture its Symphony device and cartridges (including in connection with the Company’s clinical trials). In addition, the New Toray License Agreement provides for the transfer of certain technology related to the cartridges to Sanyoseiko. The royalty payments payable by the Company to Toray have been reduced under the New Toray License Agreement from 15% to 7.5% (or less in certain circumstances) of net sales of certain cartridges for a term of 10 years. A 50% reduction in the royalty rate applies upon expiry of applicable Toray patents on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis. The New Toray License Agreement contemplates that applicable royalty payment obligations from the Company to Toray for other products will be determined separately by the parties in the future. There were no sales of or revenues from the cartridges during the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Under the New Toray Supply Agreement, Toray is manufacturing (through its wholly owned subsidiary Kamakura Techno- Science, Inc.) certain product intermediate components for use in cartridges being manufactured for the Company by Sanyoseiko. These cartridges made using Toray intermediates are for the purpose of obtaining FDA approval and not for commercial sale. The New Toray Supply Agreement has a term ending on the earlier of October 23, 2025 or the date that the Company obtains FDA approval for its product, and may be extended for up to six months by mutual agreements of the parties. If FDA approval is obtained, Sanyoseiko will be required to manufacture the intermediates and cartridges under a separate supply agreement between the Company and Sanyoseiko. At March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no amounts accrued related to the New Toray License Agreement. |

STOCK COMPENSATION | 5. STOCK COMPENSATION Stock Incentive Plans In 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) for employees, consultants, and directors. The 2018 Plan, which is administered by the Board of Directors, permits the Company to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common stock, and restricted stock awards. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 31,472. At March 31, 2024, there were 13,113 shares available for grant under the 2018 Plan. On July 6, 2021, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved and adopted the Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. 2021 Stock Plan (the “2021 Plan”). A total of 98,000 shares of common stock were approved to be initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Stock Plan. At March 31, 2024, there were 40,377 shares available for grant under the 2021 Plan. Stock Award Activity The following table summarizes the status of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024: Non-vested Number of Weighted Outstanding at December 31, 2023 7,875 $ 10.96 Granted - - Vested (6,875 ) 8.30 Forfeited - - Outstanding at March 31, 2024 1,000 $ 25.80 In February 2023, the Company issued 18,734 fully vested restricted stock units to certain employees in lieu of cash to satisfy their 2022 bonuses of which 6,546 shares were withheld for tax liabilities with a fair value of $57,588. The number of restricted stock unit awards issued were determined based on the approved bonus amount divided by the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The value of fully vested restricted stock unit awards issued is recorded as stock compensation expense on the date of grant with a reversal of the related accrued bonus recorded in 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company believes judgment is involved in accounting for the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals, and warrants. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-based compensation Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees is determined using the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted. The Company recognizes the compensation cost of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over the implied service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been achieved. The Company recognizes forfeitures related to employee stock-based payments when they occur. Forfeited options are recorded as a reduction to stock compensation expense. |
Research and Development Expenses | Research and development expenses Costs incurred in the research and development of new products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies, fees for professional service providers and costs associated with product development efforts, including preclinical studies and clinical trials. The Company estimates preclinical study and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on its behalf. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment, which is consistent with the Company structure and how it manages the business. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the majority of the Company’s assets were located in the United States. |
Net Loss per Share | Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, options outstanding under the Company’s stock option plan and warrants. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti -dilutive are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares): Potentially Dilutive Securities Listing: March 31, 2024 2023 Options to purchase common stock 29,770 36,992 Restricted stock units (RSUs) 1,000 9,875 Warrants for common stock 271,714 40,594 Class A warrants for common stock 124,200 124,200 Class B warrants for common stock 3,770 3,770 5-Year warrants for common stock 2,692,308 - Prefunded warrants for common stock 1,243,000 - |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This amends the ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to simplify the guidance on (1) accounting for convertible instruments, and (2) the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance on earnings per share (“EPS”) has also been amended to simplify the calculations and make them more internally consistent. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2024. The new standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |
