Hyperfine announced results from the NEURO PMR study, presented at the American Society of Neuroimaging annual meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico on January 16. NEURO PMR is the first prospective, multi-center, real-world study to evaluate the clinical utility and patient experience of portable MRI compared to standard-of-care MRI in outpatient neurology clinics. Two sites-DENT Neurologic Institute and Texas Neurology-enrolled 125 patients with neurologic conditions commonly seen in the outpatient setting, including headache, dementia, multiple sclerosis follow-up, and tumor surveillance. Patients received brain imaging on both the portable Swoop system and a conventional high-field MRI, enabling direct modality comparisons. Portable MRI demonstrated 92% concordance with standard MRI in identifying the presence or absence of intracranial pathology during a blinded review by independent neuroradiologists. In unblinded paired image reviews incorporating clinical history, concordance increased to 98%, as assessed by a neurologist and neuroimager. Patients reported that they were four times more likely to choose it over standard MRI. Across all experience measures-including comfort, anxiety, claustrophobia, noise, and overall satisfaction-portable MRI was rated superior to standard MRI.

About HYPR
Hyperfine, Inc. is a health technology company. The Company is engaged in providing patient care globally through artificial intelligence (AI)-powered portable ultra-low-field (ULF) magnetic resonance (MR) brain imaging. Its Swoop Portable MR Imaging System (Swoop system) produces images at a lower magnetic field strength than conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners. Its Swoop system is designed to transform brain MR for the patient, the clinician and the provider, enabling a highly differentiated experience for patients, timely imaging for clinicians, and favorable economics for hospital administrators. The Swoop system is a portable ULF MRI device for producing images that display the internal structures of the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical. The Swoop system is FDA-cleared for brain imaging of patients of all ages. The Swoop system is commercially available in a select number of international markets.
