Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis for Presentation
Basis for Presentation
The Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and related disclosures during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of equipment on lease, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, stock-based compensation and valuation of warrants. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily from the rental or license of its vascular testing product, or providing diagnostic testing service to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue from the licensing of its vascular testing product pursuant to agreements that automatically renew each month with revenue recognized on a daily convention basis. The Company’s arrangements with customers for its vascular testing product are normally on a month-to-month basis with fees billed at the rates established in the customer agreement. The Company recognizes revenue for providing diagnostic testing services on a per test basis to customers, as earned.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of accounts. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of this allowance for doubtful accounts by considering historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality of the customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified.
Assets for Lease
Assets for Lease
Assets for lease are recorded at cost. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, assets for lease consisted of vascular testing devices, which are leased to customers. The cost of such assets for lease is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 36 months for the units outstanding and recorded as cost of revenue.
The Company regularly reviews whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the carrying amounts of assets, may not be recoverable or that the useful life of assets are shorter or longer than originally estimated. The Company assesses the recoverability of its assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related assets over their estimated remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. The Company considers factors such as estimated usage and expected lives of its assets for lease in this analysis. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no impairment indicators.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment
Capital assets are recorded at cost. The cost of such capital assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a term depending on the assigned category (described below) and recorded as cost of revenue for WellChec capital assets and depreciation for all other capital assets recorded in engineering and product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, capital assets are classified into one of the following categories:
Category Name
   
Description
 
Machinery & Equipment     Manufacturing, R&D, or other non-office equipment  
Computer Equipment & Software     Software, computers, monitors, printers and other related equipment  
Furniture & Fixtures     Office equipment and furniture owned by the company  
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, capital assets are depreciated based on the following assumed useful life for each category:
Account Name
   
Useful Life
 
Machinery & Equipment     Five years  
Computer Equipment & Software     Three years  
Furniture & Fixtures     Five years  
The Company regularly reviews whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the carrying amounts of capital assets, may not be recoverable or that the useful life of assets are shorter or longer than originally estimated. The Company assesses the recoverability of its assets by comparing the projected fair value of the related asset over the estimated remaining life against the respective carrying amounts. The Company considers factors such as estimated usage and expected lives of its capital assets in this analysis. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no impairment indicators.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, are described as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which requires the Company to develop its own models.
The financial instruments of the Company consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and loans payable of the Company. The carrying amounts of these items are considered a reasonable estimate of fair value at December 31, 2016 and 2015 due to their short term nature and their market interest rates.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to or collected from customers for which the related revenues have not been recognized because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The full amount is expected to be recognized as revenues within one year from the balance sheet date and, therefore, such deferred amounts have been classified as current liabilities in the balance sheets presented. The Company generally invoices its clients in advance of a rental period with payment due upon receipt of the invoice.
Debt Discounts
Debt Discounts
In 2011, certain of the Company’s Directors personally guaranteed various loans or leases for the Company from First Republic Bank and U.S. Bancorp Business Equipment Finance Group, see Note 8. In consideration for the personal guarantees, these directors were given the opportunity to purchase fully vested warrants exercisable for common stock, which were determined to have a fair value of  $425 at issuance. The debt discount is the fair value of the related warrants less the purchase price of the warrants. These leases were paid off early due to the opening of a new line of credit, resulting in acceleration of the expensing of the outstanding debt discount. These debt discounts were being amortized over the term of the loan or lease obligation. The amount amortized to interest expense was $55 in 2015. See Note 8.
In 2016, the Company secured promissory notes from various accredited investors. These accredited investors were given the opportunity to purchase fully vested warrants exercisable for common stock, which were determined to have a fair value of  $407 at issuance which was recorded as debt discount. These debt discounts are being amortized to interest expense over the two-year life of the loan. The Company recognized $185 of interest expense associated with these discounts in 2016. See Note 8.
Research and Development
Research and Development
The Company expenses costs related to the research and development associated with the design, development, testing and enhancement of its products and services. Such expenses include salaries and related employee benefits, and fees paid to external service providers.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the stock-based awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the portion of each option grant or stock award that is expected to vest over the estimated period of service and vesting. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the method for determining the estimated grant-date fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected volatility. In addition, the Company estimates the forfeiture rate of such awards during the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the grant.
Employee Benefit Plan
Employee Benefit Plan
The Company has a savings plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. There were no matching or discretionary employer contributions made to this plan during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences attributable to the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and net operating loss carry forwards, and they are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded for loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that such loss carry-forward and deferred tax assets will not be realized. The estimate for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about projected future operating results. If actual results differ from these projections or if management’s expectations of future results change, it may be necessary to adjust the valuation allowance.
Net Loss per Share
Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. For the periods presented, the Company’s outstanding common stock equivalents consisted of options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, all of which are antidilutive, and therefore were not included in the calculation for diluted loss per share.
Excise Tax Liability on Medical Devices
Excise Tax Liability on Medical Devices
Recognition of the excise tax liability falls under ASC 450, Contingencies, because the tax is assessed on revenues. The Company recognized the excise tax when a rental payment was invoiced. Based on the guidance in ASC 605-45-50-3 and 50-4, these excise taxes are presented on a gross basis, included in revenue and general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred $0 and $136 related to this tax for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The excise tax was suspended for two years beginning in 2016. The excise tax is not an income tax.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendment in this ASU provides guidance on the revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled inz exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of this update provides guidance to identify the performance obligations under the contract(s) with a customer and how to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. It further provides guidance to recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance. On August 8, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, and permits early adoption as long as the adoption date is not before the original public entity effective date. This standard is effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2019 with early adoption permitted for the year ended December 31, 2017. Since the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several amendments which clarify certain points, including ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting, and ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and effect the new standard will have on its financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU No. 2015-17”), to reduce complexity and simplify the reporting of deferred income tax liabilities and assets. Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet. The amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendment of this Update. This standard is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt the new standard in fiscal year 2018. The Company maintains full valuation allowances on all deferred tax balances, and therefore, the adoption of this standard is not anticipated to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU No. 2016-02”). Under the new guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and 2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged, however, certain targeted improvements were made. ASU No. 2016-02 also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. This standard is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments. The new guidance changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. This standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company will adopt the new standard in fiscal year 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its financial statements.
