Neko will introduce its breakthrough preventive health scan to the U.S., responding to growing demand to shift healthcare from reactive to proactive
More than 300,000 people have signed up for the Neko Body Scan globally and the U.S waitlist opens today
New York City marks the preventive health-tech company’s first expansion beyond Europe
NEW YORK – JANUARY 14, 2026: As demand grows for earlier, more personalized health insights, Neko Health, today announced it will open its first U.S. location in New York City this Spring. The expansion marks a major milestone for the healthcare technology company, launched in Sweden in 2023 by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek (Founder of Spotify), bringing its prevention-first approach to the U.S. for the first time.
The expansion comes as more people seek proactive ways to understand their health, outside of the existing reactive care model. Neko’s mission is to design and build a completely new healthcare experience to help people stay ahead of health problems – combining its breakthrough scan, clinical care, and intentional design.
At the heart of Neko’s offering is the Neko Body Scan, a 60-minute comprehensive, non-invasive and radiation-free assessment that captures millions of health data points. Using proprietary sensors and blood analysis, results are delivered on-site within minutes, followed by a consultation with a medical professional to discuss personalized health findings.
“For the first time, technology is enabling a fundamentally new healthcare experience centered on prevention,” said Hjalmar Nilsonne, CEO and co-founder of Neko Health. “We're excited to bring our unique model of care to the world's biggest healthcare market with the opening of our first U.S. location in spring this year.”
Neko Health continues to see strong global demand, delivering six times more scans in 2025 than in 2024, with global signups now exceeding 300,000 people. Neko currently operates six locations across the U.K. and Sweden, and the U.S. represents the next phase in scaling its preventive, technology-driven care with the New York City location becoming Neko Health’s largest to date.
Further details will be announced in the coming months. New Yorkers can now join the waitlist to receive priority access when bookings open: nekohealth.com/nyc.
