AIRS Medical

What AIRS Medical does

AIRS Medical Inc. (주식회사 에어스메디컬) is a South Korea-based, privately held medical AI company founded in 2018 that develops AI-powered MRI image enhancement software for hospitals, imaging centers, and radiology practices. The company's flagship product, SwiftMR, uses deep learning reconstruction to reduce MRI scan times by up to 50% while improving image quality and operates across all major MRI scanner manufacturers (Siemens Healthineers, GE HealthCare, Philips, Canon Medical, Fonar, Esaote, ASG Superconductors) without requiring hardware replacement. The product line has expanded to include SwiftMR Turbo, a higher-performance acceleration variant, and SwiftSight, an AI-powered brain health quantification and reporting solution for longitudinal assessment across scanner vendors and field strengths.

The company monetizes through subscription-based per-equipment and per-user licensing, with enterprise site licenses for large imaging networks such as SimonMed (nationwide rollout in the United States). Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with a global Approved Source reseller network (including mediaire in DACH) and OEM integration partnerships that embed SwiftMR into manufacturers' MRI systems. Operations span headquarters in Seoul, regional offices in Tokyo, Schaumburg (US), and Munich, and wholly-owned subsidiaries in the US, Europe, and Japan; commercially deployed across 40+ countries and 1,700+ healthcare institutions, processing 7M+ MRI examinations annually.

AIRS Medical has accumulated regulatory and security credentials including FDA 510(k) clearance, CE MDR certification, MFDS approval, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and HITRUST e1. The company has raised approximately $39M+ across multiple rounds (Series A with Springcamp and TIPS, Series B ~$20M led by Q Capital Partners and Hanwha Life in 2022, Series C of 27B KRW in 2024) and in 2026 announced a strategic growth investment from TA Associates to fund global expansion, with notable prior recognition including Forbes Korea AI 50 (2024) and CB Insights Top 50 Digital Health Companies (2024).

Core offering

AIRS Medical develops and sells AI-powered MRI enhancement software that uses deep learning to reduce MRI scan times by up to 50% and improve image quality across all major scanner manufacturers without hardware replacement. Its core products—SwiftMR (image enhancement and scan acceleration), SwiftMR Turbo (next-generation acceleration), and SwiftSight (brain health quantification)—are sold as subscription licenses to hospitals, imaging centers, and OEM partners globally.

Product overview

AIRS Medical offers a unified AI platform for MRI enhancement, consisting of three main products: SwiftMR (core AI-powered MRI enhancement solution), SwiftMR Turbo (next-generation acceleration product), and SwiftSight (brain health quantification add-on). SwiftMR reduces MRI scan times by up to 50% while improving image quality, and SwiftSight adds quantitative brain imaging analysis capabilities for longitudinal monitoring. The platform is vendor-neutral and deploys across mixed MRI scanner fleets from Siemens Healthineers, GE HealthCare, Philips, and Canon Medical without requiring hardware replacement.

Scale indicators14 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights8 records

Emerging players

• Pixyl: Pixyl provides AI-based brain MRI analysis for multiple sclerosis and neurodegenerative disease, targeting similar neurology and radiology customers as SwiftSight with a narrower clinical focus.
• Cortechs.ai: Cortechs.ai provides AI-based quantitative MRI analysis (e.g., NeuroQuant) for brain and prostate imaging, overlapping with SwiftSight's longitudinal brain quantification use case, though focused on measurement rather than image enhancement.
• icometrix: icometrix develops AI software (icobrain) for quantitative brain MRI analysis in clinical practice and clinical trials, directly competing with SwiftSight's brain health quantification and reporting positioning.
• SyntheticMR: SyntheticMR offers SyMRI and MAGiC, quantitative MRI software that generates tissue property measurements from a single scan, conceptually adjacent to SwiftSight's quantitative brain imaging and longitudinal analysis use case.

Direct peers

• Subtle Medical: Subtle Medical develops AI-powered MRI and PET image enhancement software (SubtleMR, SubtleMedical) that reduces scan times and improves image quality, closely mirroring AIRS Medical's SwiftMR product, target customers (hospitals and imaging centers), and business model.
• mediaire: mediaire is a European MRI AI vendor (mdbrain, mdprostate) and a regional channel partner for AIRS Medical in DACH. It offers overlapping AI brain and prostate imaging capabilities, serving the same radiology customer base in Europe.

Broad incumbents

• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare is a major MRI OEM whose AIR Recon DL deep-learning reconstruction is a direct functional competitor to SwiftMR on GE scanners, but operates as part of a much broader imaging and diagnostics portfolio rather than as a focused AI imaging software vendor.
• Siemens Healthineers: Siemens Healthineers offers Deep Resolve and other AI-based MRI reconstruction as part of its scanner sales. It is both a compatibility partner for SwiftMR and a competitor via its native AI reconstruction pipeline.
• Philips: Philips offers SmartSpeed and Compressed SENSE AI acceleration on its MRI scanners. It is a SwiftMR compatibility partner and a competitor through its embedded AI reconstruction offering.

Others

• Ezra: Ezra is an AI-driven full-body MRI screening provider that leverages AI for faster, more accessible MRI scanning. It uses AI MRI enhancement technology in a consumer-facing screening model, adjacent to AIRS Medical's provider-facing imaging AI platform.
