> But suddenly, you have a huge library of data about your health.

Why don’t they approach this as a regular medical product?

With this spa angle I’m worried about hidden motives; perhaps data collection is a major goal. Or maybe this tech is not reliable enough.

"when you're looking for things, you find them" - my physician explaining excessive reliance on diagnostic imaging

Counterpoint: When you're not looking for things, you don't find them.

Which is why the current US administration is destroying any kind of science that might find, say, climate change, or emerging pandemics.

Yup. But it'd be good to get certainty by going to Walmart or CVS or Wholefoods and getting a scan for $30.

This is interesting & ambitious!

Not a physician, I wonder about the general efficacy of random scans vs more boring traditional things like bloodwork. That is: is there more clinical power in doing blood + urine labs monthly or body scans like this?

How much is a scan going to cost? The video motions petabyte per scan? These types are scans (medical images) are extremely dense and large in size, storing short or long term images sounds like its going to be extremely expensive when combined with AI analysis, etc. Not to Mention the cost of operating a Spa is not cheap, especially if your buying real estate, and the cost of the machine itself.

Is this a dystopian Spa, where full scans cost 50k, and basic ones are 1-5k?

I think the scanner outputs petabytes of raw data that then get processed down into images, so you would only need to store an image per slice ideally, kinda like MRI DICOM files.

Remind me of this, radar based.

It reminded me more of Blade Runner, especially with the gold lighting.
