Neko Health Expands Preventative Healthcare Services in London
Neko Health broadens its presence in London, opening a new location in Spitalfields, ready for health scans.
Neko Health, the Swedish health technology start-up co-founded by Daniel Ek (also CEO of Spotify) and engineer Hjalmar Nilsonne, is making strides in the preventative healthcare sector. The company is known for its non-invasive full-body scanning technology combined with sensors and artificial intelligence to analyze health data.
The company's debut London clinic was opened in Marylebone, where it introduced its AI-powered body scanning technology for the first time in the UK market. Shortly after, it opened its latest outpost in Spitalfields, London, continuing its UK expansion and bringing advanced preventative healthcare services to more Londoners.
The new clinic in Spitalfields boasts six suites that can process up to 30,000 scans every year. The main scan system at Neko Health uses blood pressure monitors, a cardiovascular scanner, and a radar scan of the blood flow in the chest. The body scan is followed by a conventional blood test, air puff test, and grip strength test.
Neko Health's set-up is about getting as much high-quality information as quickly and cheaply as possible. The body scan takes just 7 seconds and uses nine cameras to capture high-resolution images of the body. The data generated by Neko Health is displayed in a slick dashboard during the 20-minute consultation with the doctor.
Hjalmar Nilsonne, the founder of Neko Health, believes there will be a mega-trend in preventative healthcare over the next decade. He aims to help consumers be more proactive about their health. Neko Health's services are doctor-led, with doctors assessing customers and going through their data. The company does not prescribe medication and only makes referrals where they're genuinely needed.
The data generated by Neko Health is ultimately actionable, whether it's for lifestyle changes or for follow-up care. The scan provides a visual record of surface blemishes, which can be used to monitor health going forward. The biggest challenge for Neko Health is building the facilities fast enough to meet the demand for their services.
Neko Health is priced below the market rate due to the company's investment in design, technology, and people. The latest outpost of this innovative start-up is located alongside the redeveloped Spitalfields Market in London. With its growing presence in the UK, Neko Health is set to revolutionize preventative healthcare and shift healthcare markets from reactive to proactive care.
