Business Description

Overview We are an innovative health technology business with a mission to revolutionize patient care globally through accessible, affordable, clinically relevant artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered portable ultra-low-field (“ULF”) magnetic resonance (“MR”) brain imaging. Our Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System (“Swoop® system”) produces high-quality images at a significantly lower magnetic field strength than conventional magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) scanners. Our Swoop® system is designed to transform brain MR for the patient, the clinician and the provider, enabling a highly differentiated patient-friendly experience, 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. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis. Healthcare professionals can use the Swoop® system to make effective clinical diagnoses and decisions in various care settings where conventional MRI devices are inaccessible and/or when they are not readily available. The portable design of our Swoop® system make it safely and readily accessible anywhere in a hospital, clinic, physician’s office, or patient care site and it does not require any special facilities accommodations. The easy to use, iPad-based interface makes its operation easy to learn and it does not require specialized personnel to operate safely. ULF MR does not expose patients to harmful ionizing radiation and compares favorably in this regard to X-ray computed tomography (“CT”) or positron emission tomography (“PET”). The demand for MR imaging has been increasing due to the aging population and the rising prevalence of neurological, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular conditions, and also the trends towards decentralized healthcare in mature, as well as low- and middle-income countries. Healthcare professionals and insurers recognize MR imaging as an effective, non-invasive diagnostic tool for evaluation and ongoing monitoring of patients at risk of or with neurological conditions. The Swoop® system is the next-generation brain imaging scanner designed to increase access to MRI in a cost-effective manner. We believe our market opportunity is significant across the multiple sites of care where the Swoop® system brings clinical and economic value. We estimate in the United States alone that our total addressable market for Swoop® system device placements is more than $16 billion. Despite their advantages, many healthcare institutions worldwide lack the facilities, specialized technicians, and capital necessary to acquire, maintain, and staff expensive conventional MRI devices. The Swoop® system is the first FDA-cleared, portable, ULF, MR brain imaging system that is capable of providing imaging at multiple sites of care, such as intensive care units (“ICUs”), emergency departments, procedural rooms, clinics or physicians’ offices, and can inform the timely detection, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of acute and chronic neurological conditions inside and outside the hospital. We designed the Swoop® system to address the limitations of conventional MRI technologies and make brain MR imaging accessible nearly anywhere in a timely manner, closer to the patient, across professional healthcare settings. We believe the adoption of the Swoop® system by healthcare professionals has potential clinical and economic benefits throughout healthcare communities in both high and low resource settings. The Swoop® system is AI-powered and integrates deep learning, Optive AI TM , a form of AI in the reconstruction pipeline of the sequences. We offer T1, T2, diffusion-weighted imaging (“DWI”), and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (“FLAIR”) sequences, in both fast and high resolution modes. Scanning time varies based on protocols but on average a full brain scan takes around 25 minutes. The integration of deep learning does not require any additional steps from the user. As a result, deep learning can enhance the image quality and, consequently, the diagnostic value of images generated at ULF. Our Optive AI TM models are designed to improve ULF image quality, while reducing the impact of scan artifacts. The Optive AI TM models are validated by expert radiologists.…
