Mentioned:
There’s a publicly traded company in America focused on changing the future of MRI technology. And now, Nvidia is behind them too.
What’s happening:
- Hyperfine (NASDAQ: HYPR) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) have announced a new collaboration to leverage artificial intelligence and accelerated computing to make new technology breakthroughs for MRI diagnostics
Why it matters:
- Hyperfine has developed one of the world’s first fully portable MRI machines that has been cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration known as Swoop
Going deeper:
- The new partnership between Nvidia and Hyperfine will largely be focused on finding new ways to make MRI technology faster, more precise and also more affordable globally
- Nividia will also leverage their leading edge training and inference tools to improve the image quality Swoop is capable of as well as reduce the total amount of time required to complete a scan
- Currently, more than 90% of the global population lacks access to MRI diagnostics due to the high costs of traditional MRI machines as well as the infrastructure required
The intrigue:
- Nvidia has been making a flurry of moves lately focused on breakthroughs in brain technology, including just recently accepting medical technology company Firefly Neuroscience (NASDAQ: AIFF) into their Nvidia Connect Program to build a foundational artificial intelligence model focused on the human brain
