HOPPR vs TeraRecon
Two companies whose customers are other companies, sitting one layer apart in the same supply chain. HOPPR supplies the foundation model and development environment that imaging AI is built on, with model transparency among the strongest in this index and a stated consent basis for its training data. TeraRecon distributes the finished applications, with advanced visualisation installed at roughly nineteen hundred sites and a marketplace so a health system integrates once rather than per algorithm. Neither is bought by a radiologist, and together they explain a structural problem: a hospital running a third party algorithm through a marketplace has two layers of provenance above it that nobody in the purchasing chain inspects, and neither layer publishes what its models were trained on.
- It is the layer beneath the applications, a multimodal foundation model and development environment sold to developers, AI companies and imaging vendors.
- Model and technology disclosure is among the strongest in this index, appropriate when others build regulated products on it.
- The consent basis for training data is stated rather than implied, which almost nothing in this lane does.
- The installed advanced visualisation base across roughly nineteen hundred clinical sites is the distribution asset, independent of any scanner or archive vendor.
- The marketplace lets a health system run many partner algorithms through one platform rather than integrating each separately.
- It holds an independent certification in its own name with third party recognition behind the platform.

These occupy adjacent positions in the same supply chain, one supplying the models and the other distributing finished applications, and neither is bought by a clinician. Both create the same structural blindness: a platform imposes no published performance requirement on the algorithms it hosts, and a foundation model publishes no subgroup analysis or training data composition, so a hospital running an algorithm on a marketplace has two layers of provenance it cannot inspect. Neither publishes pricing.
