This seems potentially interesting (as a person who never looks at changes in moles, or other skin situations or sees a dermatologist)…

The Company: Neko Health

Beginning with skin and heart issues, Neko Health is currently only available at the company’s first health center on Regeringsgatan 61 in central Stockholm.

Neko says the company’s 360-degree body scanner comes equipped with over 70 sensors that collect more than “50 million data points on skin, heart, vessels, respiration, microcirculation and more.” This data is then analyzed by a “self-learning AI-powered system” that spells out the results for doctors and patients. Clients get results at their appointment, and can even view and track their results on an accompanying app.

“Our mission is to build a proactive healthcare system, one that is focused on preventing diseases,” Nilsonne writes in a post on LinkedIn, citing the rising costs of healthcare in Sweden and the European Union. The full-body scans, which Neko says only take a few minutes, are currently open to the public in Sweden and cost 2,000 SEK (or around $190 USD). At this time of writing, the scans are currently sold out.

How funny that the Spotify guy has launched a company to spot spots (and other things)!

lol I flew to Sweden in Nov2021 just to get a brain MRI (though I used it as an excuse to go all over Scandinavia + visit Morten’s lab).

Now is this gonna lure me over again?

Anyone here tried the Neko body scan service?

Costing £299, a Neko scan incorporates high-resolution 2D and 3D photography, thermal imaging, then detailed cardiovascular measurements to map how the heart is pumping and blood is moving through the arteries, veins and capillaries.

Patients’ grip strength and eye pressure is also measured, then a small sample of their blood is taken and sent via vacuum tube to a lab upstairs for processing. Finally, these thousands of data points are crunched by artificial intelligence and delivered to an in-house GP, who makes the final health assessment and delivers it to the customer 15 minutes later.

Retail Clinic: Is Neko Health Really the Future of Health

Neko Body Scan550x288.5989010989011

Neko Health’s body scans have been getting a lot of attention lately. But are they really the future of health?

Effortless, sleek, and surprisingly affordable, they package efficiency into an experience that feels like stepping into the future.

However, the data they’re capturing, while abundant, isn’t exactly cutting-edge. It’s mostly vital signs, anthropmetrics, and routine lab work—things we’ve been measuring for decades.

The camera-driven skin analysis might feel high-tech, but it’s ultimately replicating what a trained clinician can do. The blood tests? Point-of-care staples, not breakthroughs.

No doubt, making these basic markers more accessible to more people, on a more frequent basis, will be valuable on some level.

And it’s definitely worth celebrating the new standard they have set for accessibility and efficiency, showing what’s possible when healthcare design is approached with an eye for user experience.

However, the real frontiers of health lie deeper—in cellular biology, system-level dynamics, and biomarkers that illuminate the unseen layers of disease and aging.

Neko has optimized the old, not redefined the new.

The true revolution in health will come when we look beyond surface-level measurements and unlock the complexity of human biology.
