Neko Health provides preventive health scans that track millions of data points in less than an hour.

Neko Health

Neko Health is a Swedish health-tech company co-founded in 2018 by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek. Neko's vision is to create a healthcare system that can help people stay healthy through preventive measures and early detection. This requires completely reimagining the patient's experience and incorporating the latest advances in sensors and AI. Neko has developed a new medical scanning technology concept to make it possible to do broad and non-invasive health data collection that is convenient and affordable for the public.

The New York Times recently visited our Neko Health Centre in Stockholm to speak with our co-founders, Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek. We covered everything from our founding story to our larger vision, and even experienced the Neko Body Scan first hand.

"Is getting a Neko Body Scan worth it?" I am often asked this question. Let's look at the data from one year of Neko scans and I'll let you decide!

A yearly Neko Health scan showed Hanna all the improvements that can be made in just 12 months.

As a mother of two with a busy career, Hanna Bilir (Née Gustafsson) reminds us that despite our demanding schedules, your health comes first. This is her Neko story.

A bit over a year ago, we opened our first Neko Health Centre in Stockholm, driven by the mission to build a proactive healthcare system focused on disease prevention. Since then, thousands have come to do a Neko Body Scan. Today, we want to share the data that we’ve gathered.  

Here are the key findings:
- Healthy majority – overall health maintained & optimized: For 78.5% of people scanned, our examinations showed no health issues or need for further examination.   
- Medical treatment initiated: 14.1% of the people who underwent a Neko Body scan needed medical treatment and monitoring. This included diseases that were life-threatening or could cause serious injury, diseases of moderate severity, or mild conditions: 
    - Life-saving /avoidance of severe injury: 1% of all people that we scanned received a potentially life-saving intervention. These interventions addressed severe conditions such as cardiovascular diseases (e.g. aortic aneurysms, severe hypertension, and stenosis), severe metabolic diseases (e.g. severe diabetes, severe hyperlipidemia) and skin cancer (malignant melanomas). None of these people were aware of their condition prior to their visit. Notably 1 in 4 individuals (26%) who were diagnosed were under the age of 50. 
    - Significant health conditions: 6.6% of the people scanned had a moderate to severe health condition. Through detection of conditions such as heart diseases (e.g. non-rheumatic aortic valve disorder, hypertension, atrial fibrillation), type 2 diabetes, and skin cancer, timely interventions were made possible. Majority of the people (90%) were not aware of their condition or had any symptoms prior to the visit. 1 in 3 (28%) who were diagnosed with significant conditions were under the age of 50. 
    - Reversible conditions where primary prevention was initiated: 2.1% of the people showed early signs of health issues such as elevated blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels, abnormal heart rhythms, or pre-cancerous skin conditions. By successfully identifying these risks, we can now monitor and guide them towards preventive measures. 
    - Cleared with skin examinations: 2.8% of the people were cleared with a skin follow-up through short term monitoring with dermoscopies and excisions, according to medical guidelines.  
    - Undergoing further investigation: 1.5% of the people are still undergoing further investigation and the final diagnosis has yet to be determined. 
- Cleared: 3.5% of the people were cleared through follow-up tests within our clinics, covered by Neko Health. After the control tests, no further examination was needed (e.g. ECG, control blood tests and BP). These follow-up tests were offered in order to minimize false positives and unnecessary burden to the healthcare system.  
- Others: Lastly, 3.9% of the people referred were excluded from further analysis as they opted to follow-up at other clinics, cancellations, or no-shows.

A few weeks ago we released our Neko “How it works” video, and I wanted to give credit to all the hands and specialists who were involved in supporting us through various stages of that project.

From the surface, it may just appear to be a five-minute video. But behind the scenes, it entailed a lot of hard work, full-on collaboration among all our departments at Neko, regulatory checks, doctor peer reviews, production scheduling, product alignment, and brand storytelling.

It always amazes me how complex and layered making videos can be, no matter how long or short they may turn out… so many details, so many moving parts, so many thank you’s.
