Is Neko Health’s body scan worth it? Spotify billionaire’s startup has come to America

TechCrunch’s Equity podcast examines whether Neko Health’s full-body scan is worth it as the company expands into the US after raising $700 million. The discussion also looks at competing efforts from Midjourney and Function Health, which are pursuing their own approaches to preventative healthcare.

Investor interest suggests a growing belief that early detection and longitudinal health data could become a major consumer healthcare market. The challenge will be proving clinical value, controlling false positives, and convincing customers and regulators that body scanning is more than a premium wellness product.
