AI image generator Midjourney has unveiled its first hardware product, the Midjourney Scanner, which performs full-body ultrasound scans. Developed in partnership with Butterfly Network, the scanner uses a ring of transducers to create detailed 3D images of internal body composition, aiming for quality comparable to MRI. The company plans to open a "Midjourney Spa" in San Francisco by the end of 2027, offering these scans as part of a wellness experience, with potential future applications requiring FDA clearance. AI
IMPACT This move by Midjourney signals a diversification of AI companies into hardware and wellness services, potentially blurring the lines between AI development and consumer health tech.
