Why it matters
Neko's first U.S. clinic turns a heavily funded European health-scanning operation into a direct test of American demand. Its $499 price and self-reported waitlist offer a clear commercial signal; the company's own research report says it has no control group or randomized trial, while its U.S. terms leave follow-up treatment to patients' clinicians.
Neko Health opened its first U.S. clinic in Manhattan on September 24th, bringing Daniel Ek's body-scanning startup to a market it had been preparing to enter with a $700 million funding round and a New York waitlist. The SoHo clinic, at 300 Lafayette Street, is the first step in a planned U.S. expansion, according to Neko Health's launch announcement. Ek marked the opening in a post on X.
