On 17 June 2026 David Holz, founder of AI-image firm Midjourney, unveiled “The Midjourney Scanner” and a new health arm, Midjourney Medical. The device — dubbed Ultrasonic CT — is said to image the whole body in about 60 seconds using sound and water, with no radiation or magnets, via 40 licensed Butterfly ultrasound-on-chip modules. Holz claims quality that rivals MRI at far greater speed; the company plans a Midjourney Spa in San Francisco by the end of 2027, and eventually a billion scans a month. At launch it offers only body-composition maps, not diagnosis.
What is interesting is the border-crossing. An image-generation company steps into medical hardware and longevity, wrapping a clinical device in spa culture. (The performance claims are the company’s own and unproven.) The line between wellness spectacle and medicine keeps thinning.
So…:
Where is a player from a neighbouring field about to walk into yours — carrying different rules and expectations?
