The AI drawing giant suddenly started working on medical hardware, and the gap is even bigger than I imagined.

CryptoWorld News reports that Midjourney has released its first health hardware scanner, officially branching into medical and healthcare. Founder David Holz emphasized that ultrasound imaging is not just a gimmick, but a serious foray by Midjourney into the hardware space. The scanner is still in its earliest stages; fewer than 20 human trials have been conducted. Users are required to stand completely naked on a water-immersion platform, submerge themselves in water, and complete a radiation-free full-body 3D scan within 60 seconds. To achieve the imaging, the scanner plans to integrate 40 Butterfly Network chip ultrasound modules, with a data throughput of 17 GB per second. Reconstructing a single slice requires a cluster of 21 server nodes to process 40 GB of raw data. Midjourney plans to open a 25,000-square-foot hot spring spa in San Francisco by the end of 2027 to officially deploy the equipment. Since it has not obtained FDA medical device approval, Midjo
