Subtle Medical Named to TIME's World's Top HealthTech Companies for the Second Consecutive Year

Recognition caps a year of rapid global expansion and an expanded AI imaging portfolio spanning MR, PET, and CT

MENLO PARK, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Subtle Medical, a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for medical imaging, today announced it has been recognized by TIME and Statista as one of the World's Top HealthTech Companies 2026, marking the second year in a row Subtle Medical has earned a spot on the list since its inception in 2025.

The list recognizes leading HealthTech companies from more than 30 countries across six segments: AI & Data Analytics, Diagnostics, Health Information & Management, Medical Devices & Wearables, Prevention, and Telehealth & Treatment. Companies are scored on financial performance, public reputation, and digital engagement, spanning the full HealthTech landscape from AI diagnostics to digital therapeutics.

Subtle Medical's return to the list follows a year of significant growth, marked by revenue growth of more than 50%, a distributor network that has expanded into multiple new international markets, and a global sales team that has doubled to meet accelerating demand for AI-powered imaging. That momentum has been matched by an expanding product portfolio:

SubtleHD™(MR) – AI-powered denoising and sharpening software that works across any MRI scanner vendor and field strength, producing ultra-clear images that often exceed standard-of-care quality, with some sequences achieving up to 80% faster scan times without new hardware.

SubtleHD™(PET) – AI software that improves PET image quality and allows for faster, higher-quality PET scans, supporting more comfortable patient experiences without compromising diagnostic accuracy.

SubtleHD™(CT) – The newest addition to the SubtleHD family, this AI-powered image enhancement software reduces noise and improves low-contrast detectability in CT imaging, extending Subtle Medical's image quality and efficiency gains to a third major imaging modality.

SubtleSYNTH™ – AI software that generates additional MR contrasts from existing acquisitions. By achieving 100% acceleration, SubtleSYNTH produces STIR images in zero additional scan time, currently available for spine imaging with planned expansion to additional body regions.

AiMIFY™ – Developed in collaboration with Bracco Diagnostics, AiMIFY is AI image processing software that enhances contrast in brain MRI scans, boosting contrast-to-noise ratio and lesion visibility to produce an image appearance similar to a higher contrast dose, without changing the actual dose administered to the patient.

Together, these solutions are helping hospitals and imaging centers worldwide achieve faster, higher-quality imaging across MR, PET, and CT without requiring new hardware investments.

"AI is fundamentally changing what we should expect from medical imaging," said Anthony Filly, MD, Radiologist at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP). "With Subtle Medical's software technology, we're no longer forced to think about image quality, speed, and the patient experience as competing priorities. We can advance all three simultaneously. That has the potential to transform how we practice radiology – giving clinicians better information, helping imaging centers operate more efficiently, and ultimately making advanced imaging more accessible to the patients who need it."

"Being named to TIME's World's Top HealthTech Companies list two years running since the list's inception proves we aren't just chasing a moment; we're building a trajectory," said Ohad Arazi, Chief Executive Officer of Subtle Medical. "This recognition reflects what our team delivers every day: expanding access to AI-powered imaging so providers can deliver faster, safer, and smarter care to patients worldwide."

The recognition by TIME and Statista further solidifies Subtle Medical's position as a leading innovator in healthcare AI and underscores the urgent global need for solutions that expand imaging access, improve diagnostic confidence, and optimize clinical workflows.
