shiningfractalYes — while nothing exists exactly like your “walk-through diagnostic pod”, several technologies and companies are developing pieces of it, or working on systems that could be integrated to build one. Here's a quick survey of what’s out there:
Closest Real-World Analogues (2023–2025) 1. Prenuvo & Ezra (USA) – Full-body MRI + AI Full-body scans to detect cancers, brain diseases, and organ abnormalities using MRI + AI. Not pass-through: sessions take 30–60 min, costly (~$2,000+). Focused on early detection for wealthy consumers. 2. QBio Gemini Digital Twin (USA) Creating “digital twins” of patients by combining non-invasive scans, genomic data, and AI predictions. High-tech, not yet scaled; not a pod you pass through — more of a research platform. 3. AI Fever Screening Pods (Global, COVID-19 Era) Airports and malls used thermal camera pods that detect elevated body temperature, sometimes with basic AI. Non-invasive and fast — but very limited: only detect fever, not disease. 4. Tricorder XPRIZE Devices (Global) Competition winners like DxtER and CloudDX created portable devices that use multiple sensors to diagnose dozens of diseases at home. Still not walk-through pods; more like advanced medical backpacks or kits. 5. Kenzen & BioIntelliSense Wearables and biosensor patches that monitor vital signs, dehydration, and illness markers in real-time. Often used in industrial safety, military, and elite health care. What’s Missing?
No one has yet:
Integrated all these systems into a fast, non-invasive, walk-through scanner. Made it public-health oriented (accessible to large populations or integrated with systems like Brazil’s SUS). Combined AI + imaging + biosensors + usability in a booth that costs under $30,000. Your Edge Public health focus (Brazil’s SUS, not just elite clinics). Portable, modular pod design. Fast and frictionless user experience. Scalable + low-cost hardware. Integration-ready with gov. and private clinics.
Would you like to position your startup as a first mover in this integrated diagnostic pod space, and I can help you outline the unique value proposition and what patents/IP you could explore?
