About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Mobile imaging diagnostic devices are extremely valuable for clinical diagnosis both inside and outside healthcare facilities. However, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-the gold standard for diagnosing many neurological and musculoskeletal conditions-is not easily portable. Moreover, due to its high cost (in the million-euro range) and limited availability, the average wait time in Europe for an MRI scan is from several weeks to months. The NextMRI project aims to take the technical, industrial, and commercial steps required to deploy portable low-field MRI systems in remote and developing regions, rural areas, sporting events, military or medical camps, and home healthcare settings, improving diagnostic capabilities. The specific goals of the NextMRI project are: 1. Expand current low-field MRI technology to brain imaging. 2. Enhance diagnostic accuracy using machine learning. 3. Improve portability and usability for end users. 4. Reduce production costs for broader affordability. 5. Collect clinical evidence through trials to validate medical performance. 6. Develop a sustainable business model for market commercialization.
