Hyperfine's mission is to make MRI accessible to every patient, regardless of income or resources. Anytime. Anywhere.Hyperfine's Swoop® Portable MR Imaging System™ addresses limitations of current imaging technologies. Swoop wheels directly to a patient's bedside, where it plugs into a standard electrical outlet and uses an Apple iPad® for control. Images display within minutes, enabling critical decision-making capabilities across various clinical settings such as neurointensive care units, emergency departments, pediatrics, and more. Designed as a complementary system to fixed conventional MRI systems, new users can be trained on system operation, device navigation, and safety in about 30 minutes, helping clinicians streamline workflow. The complete Swoop™ Portable MR Imaging System costs less than the annual service contract for most fixed conventional MRI systems.In August 2020, Swoop received market-ready FDA clearance for portable MR imaging of the brain and head for patients of all ages and additional clearance for its Advanced AI Applications image analysis software in January 2021.Leading organizations have recognized Swoop as one of the most innovative health care technologies available today. -Fast Company Magazine recognized Swoop as a 2021 World Changing Idea-Fierce Medtech recognized Hyperfine as a 2020 Fierce 15 company for its innovative and creative approach to developing solutions for healthcare providers and patients-Swoop won the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) 2020 incubatED Medical Device Innovation Challenge as a solution that will shape the future of emergency medicine-Hyperfine received the Best Practices Product Innovation Award from Frost & Sullivan.
