Overview

  • Neko opened a design‑forward clinic in SoHo, New York City, marking the company’s formal entry into the U.S. market after a reported $700 million Series C raise.
  • The company offers radiation‑free full‑body scans priced at $499 and says it has performed more than 100,000 scans since 2003, figures reported by Neko and described in coverage.
  • Architect Franquíbel Lima led the clinic’s spa‑like design, using controlled lighting and soft materials to create a multisensorial setting meant to make screening feel like a repeatable consumer experience.
  • Neko positions its service as a premium complement to primary care that focuses on data‑rich preventive screening to detect issues earlier rather than treat acute illness.
  • The company says it plans additional U.S. locations in Miami, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., a push that could broaden access to repeat preventive screening but may raise questions about cost and equity as it expands.
