Subtle Medical's Recognition by TIME

Subtle Medical, a frontrunner in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for medical imaging, has once again been recognized on TIME’s prestigious list of the World’s Top HealthTech Companies for 2026. This acknowledgment reiterates Subtle Medical's impactful presence in the healthcare sector, marking its second consecutive year on the list, which first commenced in 2025.

The TIME list, compiled in collaboration with Statista, evaluates standout HealthTech companies from over 30 countries across various segments, including AI and Data Analytics, Diagnostics, Medical Devices and Wearables, Health Information Management, Prevention, and Telehealth. To establish the rankings, criteria such as financial performance, public reputation, and digital engagement were assessed, encompassing the comprehensive HealthTech landscape.

Subtle Medical's resurgence to the list comes after an exceptional growth period, characterized by over 50% revenue increase and an expanded distributor network reaching new international markets. The company also doubled its global sales team to cater to the rising demand for innovative AI-powered imaging solutions. This stellar performance is complemented by an enhanced product line that includes:

• - SubtleHD™ (MR): This AI-powered software enhances MRI image quality across all scanner types and power levels while achieving scan times up to 80% faster without essential hardware upgrades.
• - SubtleHD™ (PET): This program elevates PET image quality, allowing for quicker, high-fidelity scans, significantly enhancing patient comfort without compromising diagnostic precision.
• - SubtleHD™ (CT): As the newest addition, this software refines CT images by reducing noise and improving visibility for low-contrast details, making it a pivotal part of Subtle Medical's vision for broad imaging advancement.
• - SubtleSYNTH™: This tool generates additional MR contrasts through existing acquisitions, achieving complete acceleration (i.e., 100%) without any additional scan time, available initially for spine imaging and with future plans for broader application.
• - AiMIFY™: Jointly developed with Bracco Diagnostics, this software improves contrast in brain MRIs, thereby enhancing lesion visibility, all while administering the same patient dosage.

These innovative technologies are transforming the imaging landscape for hospitals and imaging centers globally, allowing them to conduct faster and better-quality scans without necessitating new hardware purchases.

Dr. Anthony Filly, a Radiologist at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP), articulated the significance of such advancements: "AI fundamentally alters our expectations of medical imaging. With Subtle Medical technology, we need not sacrifice image quality, speed, or patient experience; we can optimize all three simultaneously, which could revolutionize radiological practices."

Ohad Arazi, CEO of Subtle Medical, proudly remarked on this recognition, stating, "Being acknowledged in the TIME list for two consecutive years confirms that we are not merely chasing accolades; rather, we are building a sustainable trajectory for our growth and innovations." This recognition underscores the urgent global demand for AI-powered solutions that enhance imaging access, boost diagnostic confidence, and streamline clinical workflows.
