U.S. stocks edge higher; solid earnings season continues
TORONTO - Hyperfine, Inc. (NASDAQ:HYPR), a medical technology company with a market capitalization of $84 million and strong financial health according to InvestingPro metrics, reported promising interim results from its CARE PMR study showing that its portable Swoop MRI system achieved 100% sensitivity in detecting ARIA-E, a side effect in patients receiving amyloid-targeting Alzheimer’s therapies.
The study, presented at the 2025 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Toronto, included 31 Alzheimer’s patients undergoing Lecanemab therapy who were scanned with both the Swoop system and conventional high-field MRI within a one-week period.
ARIA-E, characterized by cerebral edema, is a condition that requires monitoring in patients receiving FDA-approved amyloid-targeting therapies. Current protocols require multiple MRI scans throughout treatment, which can be costly and logistically challenging.
Dr. Tammie Benzinger, principal investigator from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, noted, "This research could help alleviate the burden on families and facilities and improve overall access to care."
The portable, ultra-low-field Swoop system could potentially serve as a triage tool at points of care such as neurology offices and infusion clinics, though researchers indicated high-field MRI may still be necessary for comprehensive evaluation in some cases. The company’s stock has shown strong momentum, with an 11.47% return over the past week, while maintaining a healthy balance sheet with more cash than debt and a current ratio of 6.07.
The CARE PMR study is funded by the Alzheimer’s Association and the American Society of Neuroradiology to assess the clinical utility of using the Swoop system to detect amyloid-related imaging abnormalities in Alzheimer’s patients.
Hyperfine’s Swoop system is FDA-cleared for brain imaging of patients of all ages. The company aims to expand access to diagnostic imaging by providing portable MRI technology at the point of care.
