What Neko Health does

Neko Health is a healthcare technology company founded in 2018 by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek. It aims to provide proactive healthcare by combining proprietary technology and clinical care to offer an affordable preventive health scan. The company engineers its own devices and software to capture millions of data points across skin, heart, blood, and circulation in a single visit, enabling early detection of potential health issues before symptoms arise. Neko Health's approach focuses on prevention rather than just treatment, addressing the current healthcare system's reactive nature.
