Spotify's founding member and chief executive officer (CEO) Daniel Ek has launched a new initiative company Neko Health in Sweden. The start-up provides professional artificially intelligent scanners.

Daniel Ek reportedly started the business with Hjalmar Nilsonne, who is the founder and chief operating officer (COO) of Neko Health, with the goal of creating a health insurance system that can assist individuals to maintain their health through prevention methods as well as early diagnosis.

The start-up has been opened after four years of product development and research.

"Early detection and prevention of serious illness would mean that we can avoid both the human suffering and the high social costs that serious illness entails. With our technology and artificial intelligence (AI), that future is now a possibility. This could be the basis for a whole new era in healthcare," said Nilsonne in a media statement.

The start-up claims that people with skin, as well as heart problems, can receive the Neko Body Scan as well as a comprehensive review of their wellness at the company’s first medical center in Stockholm, Sweden.

Ek and Nilsonne originally established HJN Sverige, now Neko Care in 2018 and reportedly brought up upwards of 30 million pounds (roughly $32 million) in financing, mainly from Ek as well as his moon mission asset manager Prima Materia. 

According to this Stockholm-based financial institution, the implementation involves graphic novel adaptation of the patient's condition as well as combining significant advancements in detectors and AI. The start-up claims to have created a modern treatment monitoring helps to activate that allows for comprehensive and non-invasive health information gathering.
