Spotify founder Daniel Ek's health-scanning startup Neko Health is opening its first US office in New York within the next month. The company offers body scanning and bloodwork services.
Neko Health, founded by Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, is expanding into the US market with its New York office debut. The startup combines full-body scanning technology with blood testing to provide comprehensive health diagnostics.
The company's service model integrates advanced imaging with traditional lab work, positioning itself in the preventive health space. This move marks Neko Health's first physical presence in the United States after establishing operations in Europe.
