About Hyperfine Research, Inc
Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR) is a 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 care within healthcare facilities. Founded in 2014 by serial entrepreneur Jonathan Rothberg, PhD, Hyperfine's mission is to revolutionize patient care globally through transformational, accessible, clinically relevant diagnostic imaging and data solutions. The Swoop system is an AI-powered portable brain MRI that uses a magnet with a fraction of the field strength (0.064T) used in conventional MRI. This breakthrough enables the device to be brought directly to the point of care and used safely in almost any care setting without the need for dedicated staff or infrastructure. The system simply plugs into a standard electrical outlet and is ready to use in minutes, with an intuitive interface that any trained healthcare professional can operate. Powered by Optive AI software, the Swoop system brings advanced, AI-driven image reconstruction to ultra-low-field portable MRI, reducing noise and blur with deep learning to enhance image clarity and consistency. The system provides diagnostic-quality imaging across multiple sequences including T1, T2, FLAIR, and DWI in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Its open design and quieter operation enhance patient comfort and reduce anxiety, while eliminating exposure to ionizing radiation. Hyperfine serves diverse healthcare settings including hospital ICUs and emergency departments, neurology clinics, pediatric facilities, and underserved global markets. The company partners with organizations like the Gates Foundation, Raising Malawi, and the Hydrocephalus Association to expand access to neuroimaging in low- and medium-income countries. Hyperfine went public in December 2021, with Class A common stock trading on Nasdaq under the symbol HYPR.
Mission & Story
Mission
Our mission is to revolutionize patient care globally through transformational, accessible, clinically relevant diagnostic imaging, and data solutions.
Founding Story
Hyperfine was founded in 2014 by Jonathan Rothberg, PhD, a serial entrepreneur and the founder or co-founder of numerous innovative companies. With a vision to save lives by making magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) more accessible and affordable, Rothberg and a team of scientists and engineers set out to put MRI within reach of every patient regardless of location. The team retained the fundamental principles and core components of MRI but redesigned nearly everything else, leveraging advances in image-centric computing, deep learning, and the ten-million-fold increase in computing power since MRI's invention over 40 years ago. Hyperfine produced the first Swoop system MR brain images within a year of its founding.
