Neko Health Adds Body Composition and Wearables to Its Full-Body Scan
The preventive-health company co-founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek is now measuring visceral fat and pulling in Apple Health data, pushing its one-hour scan further into everyday health tracking as it prepares to enter the US.

Neko Health, the preventive-healthcare company co-founded by Spotify’s Daniel Ek, has announced its biggest set of upgrades yet to its full-body health scan: body-composition analysis and wearables integration, the company said on June 22, 2026 from London and Stockholm.
The additions push Neko’s roughly one-hour full-body scan from a periodic checkup toward something closer to a continuous picture of a member’s health — and land as the company prepares to expand into the United States in 2026.
Measuring the Fat You Can’t See
The headline addition is body composition, now included in every Neko Health Scan and rolling out immediately. Using data from Neko’s own imaging device, the scan now reports body-fat percentage and, more significantly, visceral fat — the fat stored around the internal organs.
That distinction matters. Visceral fat is a driver of metabolic disease and insulin resistance, yet it is invisible to BMI and missed by standard health checks. Neko says it can now measure it without X-ray radiation, unlike some conventional body-composition methods.
“Body composition is one of the most impactful additions we could make to the Neko Health Scan,” said Dr. Sunita Mishra, Neko Health’s Chief Medical Officer.
Bringing in the Wearables
The second change connects the scan to the data members already generate. Through the new Neko Health App on iOS, members with an upcoming booking can link Apple Health and bring in wearable metrics — steps, sleep, heart-rate variability, and more — so that clinicians can read the scan against everyday context rather than a single snapshot in time.
A Next-Generation Scan in Stockholm
In its home city of Stockholm, Neko is also rolling out next-generation scan technology that captures a greater volume and higher fidelity of data across skin, heart, and circulation, alongside redesigned scan-room experiences meant to guide members through the visit with more clarity and personalization.
“These features reflect something fundamental about how we operate: we are never finished,” said Hjalmar Nilsonne, Neko Health’s Founder and CEO.
The Bigger Picture
Neko Health was founded by Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne, opening its first clinic in Stockholm in 2023. It now runs clinics in Stockholm, London, Manchester, and Birmingham, and designs its hardware, software, and clinical protocols in-house — a full-stack approach to what it calls proactive healthcare: catching problems early rather than treating them late.
For a healthspan-minded audience, the body-composition addition is the practical headline. Visceral fat is one of the more actionable markers a person can track — responsive to diet, exercise, and sleep — and a scan that surfaces it, then layers on wearable data, is squarely aimed at the quantified-self approach to staying healthier for longer. The open questions are the familiar ones for this category: access, cost, and whether more frequent measurement reliably translates into better long-term outcomes.
