Hyperfine Swoop(s) up FDA clearance for portable MRI, double-SPAC deal moves forward

Nov. 29, 2021
By Annette Boyle
The FDA cleared Hyperfine Research Inc.’s advanced image reconstruction technology using deep learning for its portable magnetic resonance imaging device, Swoop. The bedside MRI unit’s artificial intelligence application received clearance in January and is used with deep learning to improve image quality and diagnostic value. Hyperfine and Liminal Sciences Inc., which share a founder in serial entrepreneur Jonathan Rothberg, are both combining with special purpose acquisition company Healthcor Catalio Acquisition Corp. to go public in a deal valued at $580 million. The companies reported on Nov. 29 that the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement on form S-4 for the combination to be effective and the SPAC’s shareholders will vote on the transaction on Dec. 21.
