Hyperfine, developer of an FDA-cleared portable magnetic resonance (MR) brain imaging system–the Swoop system, and Athletic Heart Cardiac and Metabolic Testing (Athletic Heart), a mobile medical diagnostic company providing streamlined, comprehensive testing for collegiate, professional, and former professional athletes, today announced a collaboration to bring portable brain imaging screenings to current and retired professional athletes, starting with retired professional basketball players.
Hyperfine and Athletic Heart’s inaugural joint event occurred at an athlete health screening event on Saturday, February 17, 2024, prior to the All-Star game in Indianapolis. Retired players underwent the new addition of brain screening using the Swoop system to provide clinicians with a better understanding of the individual athlete's brain health and help inform medical decisions.
