Hyperfine is a health technology company founded in 2014 that develops portable brain imaging systems. Its core product is the Swoop® system, which the company describes as the world's first FDA-cleared, portable, ultra-low-field magnetic resonance brain imaging system. The device uses a low-field magnet and AI-powered software to produce brain MR images without ionizing radiation.
The Swoop® system is designed for point-of-care use across settings including hospitals, neurology clinics, and pediatrics departments. Its open design and quieter operation are intended to improve accessibility compared to conventional high-field MRI scanners, which require dedicated, specially shielded rooms. The company was founded within 4Catalyzer, a technology-based incubator.
Key technical domains for the company include medical imaging, AI-powered MRI, portable diagnostics, and brain imaging. The system's FDA clearance is a primary regulatory milestone.
