GOOP

This Stockholm startup wants to revolutionize healthcare – by means of artificial intelligence and an innovative full-body scan. Spotify founder Daniel Ek (front) and CEO Hjalmar Nilsonne have overseen the development of a device that can collect and evaluate more than 50 million data points relating to the skin, heart, blood vessels, breathing or inflammations in just a few minutes. The aim is to relieve the pressure on doctors and detect disease early on. “In Sweden healthcare costs have increased 50% faster than GDP since the year 2000, and in 28 of 32 European countries the increase has been even faster. This has resulted in an unreasonable burden on medical staff to do more, and fewer resources than ever,” writes Nilsonne on LinkedIn. The Neko Body Scan costs approx. €180 and all appointments were booked out immediately. The online waiting list is long.
