This data is then analyzed by a \u201cself-learning AI-powered system\u201d that spells out the results for doctors and patients.

The full-body scans, which Neko says only take a few minutes, are currently open to the public in Sweden and cost 2,000 SEK (or around $190 USD). At this time of writing, the scans are currently sold out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Ek\u2019s foray into the healthcare industry isn\u2019t exactly a surprise. Rumors about the startup <a href=\"https:\/\/sifted.eu\/articles\/daniel-ek-secret-healthtech-startup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have been circulating since November<\/a>, and Ek has long hinted at getting involved in healthcare. In 2013, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ca45f6b8-25bd-11e3-aee8-00144feab7de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report from <em>The Financial Times<\/em><\/a> revealed that Ek \u201cspends spare hours thinking about how to fix a \u2018screwed-up\u2019 healthcare system.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not the inventor, but I may be the person that\u2019s dumb enough to go against the system and try to beat it on its own terms,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">It\u2019s obviously too early to tell what kind of impact Neko Health could have on the healthcare industry, but it sounds promising. Similar technology has emerged in the past, with Facebook and New York University teaming up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/8\/18\/21373335\/faster-mri-scans-ai-machine-learning-facebook-nyu-research-clinical-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make MRI scans faster using AI<\/a>, and researchers developing AI technology that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/10\/7\/23392375\/ai-scan-retina-predict-heart-disease-stroke-risk-machine-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scans your retina and predicts your risk of heart disease<\/a>.
