What happened: PAVmed and its subsidiaries, Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ: LUCD) and Veris Health Inc., announced Tuesday via a strategic business update that the companies have implemented a workforce reduction of 20%, which aims to reduce quarterly cash burn rate by at least 25%.

  • Pausing or halting all other product development activities, including CarpX, PortIO, and NextFlo
  • Pursuing additional cost-cutting measures such as not paying annual cash bonuses.

Lishan Aklong, M.D., PAVmed's and Lucid's Chairman and CEO, notes, "We have engaged in a systematic effort to maximize our cash runaway and protect our long-term shareholder interests while executing our strategic objectives in what remain challenging market conditions.”
