Hyperfine Partners with Nvidia to Enhance AI-Powered Portable Brain MRI

Hyperfine, based in Guildford, Connecticut, is known for developing Swoop, the world's first FDA-cleared, portable, ultra-low-field brain MRI system.

Hyperfine, a leading developer of portable brain imaging technology, has announced a strategic collaboration with Nvidia to integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and accelerated computing into its imaging systems.

The partnership aims to enhance the speed, accuracy, and affordability of portable brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.

Hyperfine, based in Guildford, Connecticut, is known for developing Swoop, the world's first FDA-cleared, portable, ultra-low-field brain MRI system.

The company plans to leverage Nvidia's AI capabilities and machine learning tools to improve image quality, streamline clinical workflows, and enhance real-time clinical decision support in portable MRI.

According to Hyperfine, embedding AI into the Swoop system could enable faster and more reliable diagnoses while expanding access to advanced brain imaging, particularly in remote and underserved areas. Nvidia's suite of training and inference tools is expected to improve image reconstruction and diagnostic accuracy significantly.

"Our mission is to make portable brain imaging faster, more intelligent, and increasingly accessible—ultimately improving health outcomes and reducing costs globally," said Maria Sainz, President and CEO of Hyperfine.

"Partnering with Nvidia presents an incredible opportunity to advance and accelerate our AI technology. I'm thrilled about the possibilities this collaboration brings for the future."

Nvidia's Growing Presence in Medtech

Nvidia, a leader in AI computing, has been expanding its presence in the MedTech sector through strategic collaborations. In 2024, GE HealthCare partnered with Nvidia to integrate AI into ultrasound technology.

In 2023, Asensus Surgical collaborated with Nvidia to enhance surgical robotics with AI-driven clinical intelligence. Medtronic also teamed up with Nvidia to strengthen the capabilities of its GI Genius intelligent endoscopy module.

Similarly, Johnson & Johnson MedTech announced plans last year to accelerate AI adoption in surgery through a partnership with Nvidia.

The Hyperfine-Nvidia collaboration is expected to drive innovation in portable brain imaging, making MRI technology more accessible and effective on a global scale.
