Neko Health Raises $700 Million as Body Scanning Draws Investor Interest

Spotify founder Daniel Ek’s Neko Health has raised $700 million to build a business around body scanning, according to TechCrunch. The company is bringing its service to the United States, as reflected in the source article’s headline.

Neko Health is not alone in pursuing consumer-focused preventative healthcare. Midjourney is building a body scanner, while Function Health has raised significant capital to expand its preventative-health platform. The source does not specify how much Function Health raised.

On TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, host Dominic-Madori Davis spoke with Farooq Abbasi, founder and general partner of Preface Ventures and an investor in Neko Health. They discussed how Neko compares with other consumer-health startups and what would need to happen for body scanning to become part of the broader healthcare system.

The source frames the discussion around investor interest in the category, but does not provide a specific explanation for that interest. It also does not detail Neko Health’s scanning technology, pricing, or clinical results.
