1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Hyperfine, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, as applicable, “Hyperfine” and the “Company”), formerly known as HealthCor Catalio Acquisition Corp. (“HealthCor”), was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 18, 2020. The Company’s legal name became Hyperfine, Inc. in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) on December 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), as defined and described in Note 3. Business Combination. In connection with the Closing, Hyperfine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Hyperfine”), and Liminal Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Liminal”), merged with and into separate wholly owned subsidiaries of HealthCor and became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and changed their names to Hyperfine Operations, Inc. and Liminal Operations, Inc., respectively. Liminal subsequently changed its name to Liminal Sciences, Inc. The prior period financial information represents the combined financial results of Legacy Hyperfine and Liminal.

The Company is an innovative digital health business with a mission to provide affordable and accessible imaging and monitoring through magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) to revolutionize healthcare for people around the world. The Company’s Swoop® Portable Magnetic Resonance (“MR”) Imaging® System (“Swoop® system”) produces high quality images at a lower magnetic field strength than conventional MRI scanners. Healthcare professionals can use the Swoop® system to make effective clinical diagnoses on a patient in various of settings where MRI devices have previously been inaccessible. The Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in 2020. The Swoop® system has since been authorized for brain imaging in several countries, including the European Union (CE marking), the United Kingdom (UK Conformity Assessment (“UKCA”)), Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan. All of the Company’s revenue to date has been generated from sales of this machine and related services. In December 2022, the Company has suspended its program to develop a device to non-invasively measure key vital signs in the brain. In addition to Legacy Hyperfine and Liminal, the Company has an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom that did not have any significant operations during 2022.
