The Neko scan — Spotify for longevity — is designed to be fast, convenient, and cool. But is it worth $499?
Neko's body scanner is designed to keep track of every single mark on your body and help prevent skin cancer. Hilary Brueck, Business Insider The Neko scan is a high-tech checkup that includes skin cancer screening and heart monitoring. It costs $499, there is a waitlist, and no, you can't use insurance to pay. The scan is fun, but wouldn't be my go-to longevity checkup. It's sleek, Swedish, relatively affordable, and designed for efficiency. Oh, and the color scheme? Yellow and blue. No, it's not Ikea. It's Neko Health — the three-year-old healthcare brainchild of Spotify cofounder Daniel Ek — a new annual go-to longevity checkup for skin cancer, heart health, and more. Up and running in Stockholm since 2023 and London since 2024, the clinic is opening its doors in the US this week, with a first location in New York City's SoHo.
