Midjourney Medical Sidesteps FDA Rules by Launching in a Spa, Not a Hospital

Midjourney Medical is launching its full-body ultrasound scanner through a San Francisco wellness spa by end of 2027, not hospitals. By calling it wellness rather than diagnostic, the company avoids FDA clearance required for medical claims. The risk: if the device finds an abnormality, regulators may scrutinize the wellness framing as a liability dodge.
