THE WOODLANDS, TX - Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX), a medical device company specializing in technologies for nervous system diseases, has announced plans to start U.S. clinical studies in 2025. With a current market capitalization of just $4 million and a healthy current ratio of 5.31, the company maintains more cash than debt on its balance sheet. This move is part of the company's strategy to secure a De Novo application for FDA approval expected in 2026. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company's financial health score indicates challenges ahead, with rapid cash burn being a key concern.

CEO Brad Hauser expressed confidence in the progress made by the team and the potential impact of their first-in-class platform system technology. This technology includes a catheter-based microchip sensing array that could significantly enhance the sensitivity of neural signal detection and differentiation.
