Hyperfine Swoop® AI-Powered Portable MRI System Showcased in Clinical Studies Designed to Broaden Access to Dementia Care

New dementia study actively enrolling and new data to be presented at the 2025 Alzheimer's Association International Conference.

Hyperfine, Inc. (NASDAQ:HYPR), the groundbreaking health technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the first FDA-cleared AI-powered portable MRI system for the brain—the Swoop® system—today announced two significant advancements highlighting the potential of its innovative MRI technology to expand dementia screening, enhance monitoring, and improve care.

Globally, over 57 million people live with dementia, with Alzheimer's disease accounting for 60–80% of cases (Centers for Disease Control, World Health Organization). Limited access to conventional MRI, particularly in underserved and rural areas, often delays diagnosis and treatment. The Swoop® system addresses these barriers by delivering portable, accessible brain imaging in outpatient settings, including neurology clinics and infusion centers.

A new study conducted by the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center is exploring the use of the next-generation Swoop® system to expedite dementia diagnosis in a memory clinic. Led by Dr. Jeffrey Burns, the Accelerated Clinical Evaluations for Alzheimer's Disease (ACE-AD) pioneers an innovative approach that combines in-office MR imaging, cognitive testing, and blood biomarkers into a single nurse-led clinic visit, aimed to improve patient care and ease healthcare system burdens. Dr. Burns highlights the importance of accessibility, stating, "The shortage of cognitive specialists limits our ability to meet growing demand for dementia care. Tools like the Swoop® system could enable scalable, timely diagnoses and earlier treatment, particularly for patients in rural and underserved areas."

Additionally, two poster presentations from researchers in the Benzinger Lab at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will be presented at this year's Alzheimer's Association International Conference, including interim results from the CARE PMR study, which evaluates the use of the Swoop® system for ARIA-E monitoring.

  Authors: J. Hu, K. Sharifi, H. Alkelani, et al.

• Title: Assessing Low-field MRI Volumetric and White Matter Hyperintensity Lesion Measures using WMH-SynthSeg
  
  Authors: H. Shimony, S. Keefe, H. Alkelani, et al.

"These studies underscore how the Swoop® system is transforming brain imaging by bringing MRI to serve patients and clinicians across brain conditions where MRI access can significantly improve care," said Maria Sainz, President and CEO of Hyperfine, Inc. "Neurodegenerative conditions represent immense clinical and economic burdens for patients, caregivers, and health systems globally. The work that leading clinicians are doing with the Swoop® system in dementia screening and Alzheimer's drug therapy monitoring sets the stage for very large expansion opportunities for Hyperfine."

About the Swoop® Portable MRI Systems

The Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® Systems are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared for brain imaging of patients of all ages. They are portable, ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging devices for producing images that display the internal structure of the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.

About Hyperfine, Inc.

Hyperfine, Inc. (NASDAQ:HYPR) is the groundbreaking health technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the Swoop® system—the first FDA-cleared, portable, ultra-low-field, magnetic resonance brain imaging system capable of providing imaging at multiple points of professional care. The mission of Hyperfine, Inc. is to revolutionize patient care globally through transformational, accessible, clinically relevant diagnostic imaging. Founded by Dr. Jonathan Rothberg in a technology-based incubator called 4Catalyzer, Hyperfine, Inc. scientists, engineers, and physicists developed the Swoop® system out of a passion for redefining brain imaging methodology and how clinicians can apply accessible diagnostic imaging to patient care.
