Midjourney's AI Scanner: The Spa of the Future?
18 Jun
Summary
- Midjourney is developing an ultrasonic body scanner for health insights.
- The company plans to open a spa featuring this technology in San Francisco.
- The scanner aims to be faster and less invasive than current MRI machines.
Midjourney, once renowned for AI-generated imagery, is embarking on a new venture into wellness with a unique body scanning technology. The company announced plans for a project described as "spectacular and filled with hope," centered around a scanner intended to be faster, cheaper, and less invasive than an MRI.
This innovative scanner utilizes ultrasonic sound waves from hundreds of thousands of microscopic sensors to create a detailed 3-D map of the body's interior. The process, which aims to collect vast amounts of health data quickly, is expected to take under a minute.
The company is establishing a spa in downtown San Francisco, scheduled to open before the end of next year. This spa will feature both conventional amenities like hot tubs and cold plunges, and the "cozy rooms with pools of golden light" for the body scanning.
Midjourney intends to expand its spa concept to more cities beginning in 2028. The company also plans to submit initial test results to the FDA to pursue regulatory clearance for enhanced device capabilities.
