Hyperfine Swoop® AI-Powered Portable MRI System Demonstrates 100% Sensitivity for ARIA-E Detection in New Data Presented at the 2025 Alzheimer's Association International Conference
Article content Interim results from the CARE PMR study support the use of ultra-low-field MRI as a triage tool for monitoring patients on amyloid-targeting therapies. Article content TORONTO — 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—announced promising early results from the CARE PMR (Capturing ARIA Risk Equitably with Portable MR) study presented at the 2025 Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Toronto, Canada. Article content Researchers from the Benzinger Lab at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reported interim results from 31 Alzheimer's patients undergoing Lecanemab therapy. Participants were scanned using the Swoop ® system within one week of their clinical high-field MRI scans, as part of the safety monitoring protocol required by the FDA when it approved Lecanemab. Article content The Swoop ® system achieved 100% sensitivity in detecting mild to moderate ARIA-E, a condition marked by cerebral edema. Researchers note that while ultra-low-field MRI is promising as a triage tool to screen for ARIA-E, high-field MRI may remain necessary for comprehensive evaluation in some cases. Article content Appropriate use guidelines for amyloid-targeting therapies, including Lecanemab and Donanemab, require MRI safety monitoring at multiple, specific intervals throughout the course of therapy. However, regular screening with conventional MRI systems is often hindered by high costs, scheduling delays, and logistical challenges for both patients and caregivers. The Swoop ® system addresses these barriers by offering an affordable, portable imaging solution that is readily available to patients at the point of care, such as neurology offices and infusion clinics. Dr. Tammie Benzinger, principal investigator of the study, noted, 'This research could help alleviate the burden on families and facilities and improve overall access to care. We are hoping to expand the project to Washington University's Medical Campus to include community sites offering infusion therapy for early Alzheimer's disease.' Article content These findings from the CARE PMR study underscore the potential of portable MRI to transform ARIA-E monitoring and expand access to care. The Swoop ® system enables clinicians to confidently detect ARIA-E, while offering patients and caregivers the convenience of point-of-care screening, eliminating the need for separate imaging appointments. 'We are proud to collaborate with leading clinicians and researchers who share our vision of advancing Alzheimer's care through accessible innovation,' said Edmond Knopp, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Hyperfine. Article content The CARE PMR study is a collection of data from multiple sites assessing the clinical utility and workflow benefits of using Swoop ® system images to detect amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in Alzheimer's patients receiving amyloid-targeting therapy. It is funded by the Alzheimer's Association and the American Society of Neuroradiology. Article content 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. Article content About Hyperfine, Inc. Article content 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.
