The AI Art Company Just Unveiled a "Spa Pool" Body Scanner

File this under "did not have it on the 2026 card."

Midjourney — yes, the AI-art company — just unveiled a medical scanner. And it looks like a spa. You step into a shallow pool of warm water, and the company says sonic waves plus AI map your whole body in about 60 seconds. (Reported at its June 18 San Francisco reveal; the tech is the company's own claim, not yet independently verified.)

Here's what we love about it, even this early: people are coming at the same problem from every angle. A calmer, faster scan from one corner. Smarter tools from another. New price transparency from another. Everyone chipping away at the same wall — the one that makes care slow, loud, and impossibly expensive.

It's early. The accuracy, the clearances, the real-world data all still have to arrive before anyone trades in a real scan. But the energy is the good part: the future of care is being built from a dozen directions at once.

Ellen is one of those directions. The machine that scans you might one day look like a hot tub. The bill that follows still needs someone in your corner — and that's the part we're building.

Ellen does not provide medical advice. For treatment decisions, talk to your doctor.
