Our healthcare system is designed to diagnose the presence or absence of disease, one organ at a time. That means people have no baseline against which to make broader lifestyle decisions.

I visited Neko Health, a new preventive-health clinic co-founded by Spotify’s Daniel Ek. Even though I get regular physicals, I wanted a baseline understanding of my whole health. Neko Health, which was co-founded by Spotify founder Daniel Ek, just opened its first preventive-health clinic in the U.S.

And yet there was one test I had put off for years: a skin-cancer screening. When Neko Health offered to move me up the waiting list for a pre-launch scan, I took the $499 plunge. Neko, which was co-founded by Spotify founder Daniel Ek and engineer Hjalmar Nilsonne, last month opened its first preventive-health clinic in the U.S.

It’s the latest elective, cash-pay scan for asymptomatic people that raises either hopes or eyebrows, depending on how you view our healthcare system. Copyright ©2026 MarketWatch, Inc.
