Neko Scan Near Me · Powered by DEXASCAN.COM
Searching for a Neko Health scan near you?
Here's what you should know: Neko's futuristic full-body scan is currently in one U.S. city, with a long waitlist, and its sensors look at your skin and heart — not inside your body composition. The scan that measures bone health, visceral fat, muscle, and body fat to the gram is a DEXA scan, and it's available today at 400+ locations nationwide, from $99.

Credit where it's due: Neko Health, founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek, has built an impressive preventive-health experience. In about an hour, its scanner images your skin from every angle, sensors read cardiovascular signals, you get a blood test, and a clinician walks you through the results. For skin and heart screening, it's a genuinely new product.
But a surface scan is exactly that: a scan of your surface. Millions of data points about your skin can't tell you what's underneath it — how much of your weight is muscle versus fat, where that fat sits, how much of it is wrapped around your organs, or how dense your bones are. Those are the numbers that drive body composition, metabolic risk, and healthy aging, and they require a different technology: dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, the clinical reference method better known as DEXA.
Neko Health scan vs. DEXA scan
| What it measures | Neko Health Scan | DEXA Scan |
|---|---|---|
| Bone density (BMD) — osteoporosis and fracture risk | ✗ Not measured | ✓ The worldwide clinical standard |
| Visceral fat (VAT) — the fat around your organs linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes | ✗ Not quantified | ✓ Measured in cm² / grams |
| Body fat % — total and by region (arms, legs, trunk) | ✗ Surface imaging only | ✓ Gold standard, regional breakdown |
| Lean muscle mass — including left/right imbalances and sarcopenia screening | ✗ Not measured | ✓ By region, in pounds |
| Skin screening — moles and lesions imaged and tracked | ✓ A core strength | ✗ Not a skin test |
| Cardiovascular signals & blood work | ✓ Sensors + on-site blood test | △ Pair DEXA with RMR / VO2 max testing |
| U.S. availability | First U.S. clinic (New York, SoHo); waitlist reported in the hundreds of thousands | 400+ locations nationwide, booking now |
| Price | $499 (New York) | From $99 |
| Time | About 60 minutes | About 10 minutes |

What your DEXA scan reveals
Body fat % and where it lives
Total body fat plus the regional breakdown — arms, legs, waist, hips — so you can see patterns a mirror and a scale both miss.
Visceral fat
The hidden fat around your organs, quantified. One of the strongest measurable predictors of metabolic and cardiovascular risk — and the number most likely to improve in 90 days.
Lean muscle mass
Muscle by region, in pounds. Essential for anyone on a GLP-1, anyone over 50, and anyone who wants to lose fat without losing strength.
Bone density
DEXA is the same technology physicians use to diagnose osteoporosis — the earlier you know your baseline, the more you can do about it.

The appeal of a Neko scan is getting many answers in one visit. You can assemble something even more complete around a DEXA baseline: add a resting metabolic rate (RMR) test to measure exactly how many calories you burn, and a VO2 max test — the single strongest predictor of longevity in the research literature. Many DEXASCAN.COM locations offer all three in one appointment, typically for less than the price of a single Neko scan.
What the press says about Neko Health
Don't take our word for it. Here's recent coverage of the Neko scan — the good and the skeptical — so you can judge for yourself:
- Neko Health: "Neko Is Opening in New York City" — the company's own announcement: first U.S. clinic in SoHo, $499, a 60-minute visit combining skin imaging, cardiovascular readings, and blood work with a clinician debrief.
- Inc.: "Spotify's Co-Founder Is Launching a $499 Body Scan" — a largely positive look at the experience, noting a wait list of roughly 350,000 people for one clinic.
- PYMNTS: "Neko Health Eyes US Health Markets" — neutral coverage of the U.S. expansion plan and what the scan checks for (skin cancer, heart disease, diabetes risk).
- AI News: "Neko Health raises $700 million" — notes that FDA clearances apply to two individual devices, not the full scan as a screening service, and that no completed peer-reviewed validation of the full service was found in public information.
- Agewell clinic review — an independent profile pointing out that Neko's published outcomes come from its own member data, which the company itself describes as not a scientific study, with no control group.
- eMarketer analysis — a skeptical take on valuation and affordability, noting the scan isn't covered by insurance and isn't a medical necessity.
Read them all and a consistent picture emerges: a genuinely novel skin-and-heart screening experience, real questions about validation and value, and nothing in the product that measures body composition or bone. Whatever you decide about Neko, those numbers still need a DEXA.
Frequently asked questions
Is a Neko Health scan available near me?
As of late 2026, Neko Health operates in Stockholm and several U.K. cities, with its first U.S. clinic opening in New York City's SoHo neighborhood at $499 per scan and a reported waitlist in the hundreds of thousands. If you're anywhere else in the U.S., there is no Neko location near you yet. DEXA scans are available at 400+ locations nationwide right now.
Does the Neko scan measure body fat or bone density?
No. The Neko Health Scan focuses on skin imaging, cardiovascular sensor readings, and blood work. It does not perform dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, so it does not measure bone mineral density, quantify visceral fat, or break down lean mass and fat mass the way a DEXA scan does.
Is DEXA safe?
Yes. DEXA uses extremely low-dose X-ray — a fraction of everyday background radiation exposure — and takes about 10 minutes. Pregnant individuals should skip DEXA as a precaution.
Should I get both?
They answer different questions, so they're complementary rather than competing. If you want skin and cardiovascular screening and you're near a Neko clinic, it may be worth the $499. If you want to know your body composition, visceral fat, and bone health — and track them over time — that's DEXA, and you can start this week.
How much does a DEXA scan cost?
Most DEXASCAN.COM locations start at $99, with DEXA + RMR and DEXA + VO2 max bundles available. Booking instructions arrive within minutes of purchase.
