Is Neko Health’s body scan worth it? Spotify billionaire’s startup has come to America

Neko Health 的全身扫描服务值得一试吗?这位 Spotify 亿万富翁的初创公司已进军美国

Spotify founder Daniel Ek’s Neko Health raised $700 million to build a business around scanning your body, but it’s not the only company centering its roadmap around a new kind of preventative healthcare. Midjourney is building its own body scanner, while Function Health has also raised significant capital to build out its preventative-health platform. Why are investors betting so big on this category?

Spotify 创始人 Daniel Ek 旗下的 Neko Health 筹集了 7 亿美元,旨在围绕人体扫描业务进行布局。然而,它并非唯一一家将发展路线聚焦于新型预防性医疗的公司。Midjourney 正在研发自己的身体扫描仪,而 Function Health 也已筹集了大量资金,用于构建其预防性健康平台。为什么投资者如此看好这一领域?

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis talks with Farooq Abbasi, founder and general partner of Preface Ventures and an investor in Neko Health, about how Neko compares with other consumer-health startups. They discuss what has to happen for body scanning to become part of the broader healthcare system.

在本期 TechCrunch 的《Equity》播客中,主持人 Dominic-Madori Davis 与 Preface Ventures 的创始人兼普通合伙人、同时也是 Neko Health 投资人的 Farooq Abbasi 进行了对话,探讨了 Neko 与其他消费级健康初创公司的区别。他们讨论了要让身体扫描成为更广泛医疗体系的一部分,还需要具备哪些条件。
