Neko Health offers full-body health scans that include imaging, a blood test and other tests, and checks for skin cancer, heart disease, diabetes risk and other conditions, according to the report.
To patients, the process appears similar to an airport scan along with a blood test, the report said.
The cost of the full-body health scans is the equivalent of about $400 in the United Kingdom but will likely be higher in the United States, per the report.
Neko Health plans to open its first U.S. location in New York City and then add more locations in the following months, CEO Hjalmar Nilsonne told Bloomberg.
Because the U.S. is the world’s largest health care market, “you can be sure we’re ambitious about serving folks there,” Nilsonne said in the report.

Neko Health was valued at about $1.8 billion in a January 2025 Series B funding round in which it raised $260 million, PYMNTS reported at the time.
Bejul Somaia, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, which led the round, said at the time in a press release: “Neko combines breakthrough technology with meticulous attention to detail in everything from their scanning technology to the patient experience. With a … clear path to international expansion, we believe comprehensive preventive care can be both accessible and scalable.”
When announcing its plans to open its first U.S. location in New York City this spring, Neko Health said in a January press release that it opened a U.S. waitlist and that globally, more than 300,000 people had signed up for the Neko Body Scan.
Neko Health was launched in Sweden in 2023 and now operates six locations across Sweden and the United Kingdom, according to the release.
The company attributed the number of sign-ups it had received to growing demand for healthcare that is proactive rather than reactive, and that offers earlier, more personalized health insights.
“For the first time, technology is enabling a fundamentally new healthcare experience centered on prevention,” Nilsonne said in the release.
