A New Era of Midjourney
Midjourney — yes, the image-generation lab — announces Midjourney Medical: an ultrasonic full-body scanner you descend into like a bath, passing through a ring of half a million sand-grain-sized transducers that act as both choir and audience, producing terabytes of data per second and a sub-millimetre 3D map of your body at nearly a hundred times MRI speed, with a target of 60 seconds per scan. The delivery vehicle is a spa — hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and pools of golden light that scan you as a side-effect — opening in San Francisco in 2027, with custom gen-3 silicon planned for 2028 and an ambition of 50,000 scanners doing a billion scans a month by 2031, FDA capabilities added incrementally starting from body-composition maps. The community-funded, investor-free lab frames the machine as optimising ‘megabytes per second per dollar’ of information about your body, and reckons early imaging at this scale could avoid 30% of all deaths and half of all healthcare costs — benefits it concedes are hard to comprehend, but also hard to overstate.
