Spotify Founder Backs Full-Body Scan Invasion of U.S.

A Swedish health-tech startup, funded by Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek, is launching its first U.S. location. Neko Health plans to open a clinic in New York City this spring. The company uses a full-body scanner for a rapid, non-invasive health check. The scan takes only minutes. It collects thousands of data points on skin, heart, and blood vessels. This data aims to detect early signs of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. The service is not a full medical diagnosis. Instead, it provides a detailed report for customers to review with their own doctor. Neko Health’s expansion taps into America's growing market for high-tech wellness screening. The New York clinic will test consumer demand for its premium-priced scans. The startup’s approach emphasizes prevention. Its goal is to find potential health issues long before symptoms appear.
