Neko Health collects millions of data points throughout the body using high-resolution cameras, lasers, and radar to look for issues that may eventually become critical or even life-threatening.
It’s the most recent in a line of businesses providing contentious high-tech MOTs. Some physicians caution that by sending patients with potentially negligible results, they can worsen health disparities and increase the strain of the NHS.
The CEO of the music streaming service, Daniel Ek, along with his partner, Hjalmar Nilsonne, wish to participate in the discussion.
Hjalmar tells me in a dimly lit scanning room of the clinic that the conventional focus of healthcare has been on treating symptoms, or what he terms “reactive” therapy.
It appears to be something from a science fiction movie.
A booth that resembles the teleporters in Star Trek is located in the center of the space.
Enter, and nine HD, 3D, and thermal cameras will gather over 2,000 photos to create a high-resolution map of every freckle, mole, and imperfection on your body.
The clinic can monitor changes in size, color, and other potential warning signs of skin cancer if you return for yearly examinations.
Adjacent to the booth, there’s further technology that Dr. McCoy from Star Trek may have used on his fellow Starship crew members.
