Midjourney 宣布成立“Midjourney Medical”新部门,计划 2027 年在旧金山开设首家 24 小时水疗中心。顾客进入浅水池,通过 50 万个微型超声波传感器,约 60 秒即可生成毫米级精度的 3D 内部地图,无需磁铁、辐射或造影剂。速度接近 MRI 的 100 倍(美国 MRI 平均约 1300 美元、耗时超 1 小时;Prenuvo 全身扫描约 2500 美元)。该公司希望打造人们愿意前往的水疗体验,将医疗数据采集作为副产品。
The Midjourney medical thing is genuinely strange and I kind of love it.
The plan is a spa.
Hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, open 24/7, first location in San Francisco in 2027.
You step into a shallow pool of water, sink slowly through a ring of half a million tiny ultrasonic sensors, and in about 60 seconds you walk out with a 3D map of your insides down to a fraction of a millimeter. No magnets, no radiation, no contrast, just sound waves and warm water.
Compare that to how we do this now:
They say it's close to 100x faster than an MRI ("60 seconds"). For context, a normal MRI in the US averages around $1,300 and the scan alone can take over an hour inside a loud metal tube. A full-body scan from Prenuvo runs about $2,500 for roughly the same hour.
