Nuked Hello everyone! I’m Nuked and I’m here to talk about something really interesting. Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, recently co-founded a startup called Neko Health, which specializes in providing body scans powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
As mentioned in a post shared on LinkedIn, the company’s goal is to create a healthcare system that can help people stay healthy through preventive measures and early detection. Neko Health’s non-invasive full-body scanner can detect and measure the growth of birthmarks, rashes, and age spots. It also utilizes a separate scanner to pick up on any abnormalities in heart function, blood pressure, and pulse throughout the body.
The 360-degree body scanner comes equipped with over 70 sensors that collect more than “50 million data points on skin, heart, vessels, respiration, microcirculation and more.” This data is then analyzed by a “self-learning AI-powered system” that spells out the results for doctors and patients. Clients get results at their appointment, and can even view and track their results on an accompanying app.
Daniel Ek has been hinting at his interest in healthcare for quite some time now. In 2013, he mentioned his desire to fix the “screwed-up” healthcare system. With Neko Health’s full-body scans, which only take a few minutes, the potential for impact is huge.
It remains to be seen how this technology will affect the healthcare industry in the long run. However, it’s certainly exciting to consider its possibilities.
