Neko Health is set to open a body-scan clinic at Brookfield in January 2027, marking the firm's second location in New York City. The expansion follows the company's entry into the US market with a September 2026 site opening in Soho.
Why it matters
The company’s direct-pay model, which does not accept insurance, targets consumers seeking preventative screenings for chronic diseases. Operators in the wellness sector should note the firm's reliance on proprietary, non-radiation hardware to drive efficiency during one-hour appointments.
Neko Health reports a waitlist of 50,000 people for its $500 body scan service, which currently operates out of eight international locations. The provider uses four proprietary devices to analyze health data during a single one-hour appointment.
The players
Neko Health
A preventative healthcare company that utilizes proprietary, non-radiation imaging technology to provide body scans.
The details
The facility uses four non-radiation scanning devices—Derma, Spectrum, Echo, and Neko Lens—to capture metrics across skin, heart, blood, and circulation. Appointments are structured to include a full data review with an on-site clinician, a process designed to identify markers for chronic diseases before symptoms emerge.
Timeline
2018: Neko Health founded in Stockholm.
September 2026: Soho clinic opened.
January 2027: Brookfield clinic opening.
Market Landscape
Neko Health's expansion aligns with the rise of direct-pay, tech-enabled preventative medical screening services. This move mirrors broader industry efforts to bypass traditional health insurance billing in favor of streamlined, technology-heavy service models.
Owners and operators should monitor how this facility impacts competition within the local wellness and diagnostic market. Future expansions in the area may also affect demand for premium health-focused commercial real estate in high-density districts.
The takeaway
The firm’s non-insurance model requires significant operational efficiency, as appointments are fixed at one hour. Operators should track the company’s success in managing its 50,000-person waitlist to gauge the viability of high-cost, elective preventative health services.
