After Spotifys IPO made him a billionaire overnight, the streaming pioneer turned his passion into a business.
Ek sought assistance from his compatriot Hjalmar Nilsonne, who previously helmed smart energy startup Watty.
In 2018, the duo founded body-scanning startup Neko Health.
Last year, the companysfirst clinicopened in Stockholm.
Within two hours of the launch, the scanner was fully booked.
Over 22,000 people are now on the waiting list.
The London site expands the startups capacity.
Neko can also point to growing evidence of the techs benefits.
In its first year of operation, the company scanned 2,707 people.
Around14% required medical treatment, while 1% received potentially life-saving treatment.
None were aware of their conditions before the scans.
The figures substantiate Nekos case for predictive diagnostics.
To bend the cost curve of healthcare, we need to shift towards proactive, preventive care.
