Neko Health, a company specializing in body scanning and health assessments, has raised $700 million in a Series C funding round. The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and O.G. Venture Partners. This follows a $260 million Series B in January 2025.

The startup uses proprietary scanning technology combined with blood tests to evaluate health. The scan now includes body composition data and can integrate with Apple Health, providing clinicians with real-world data.

Neko Health operates in the UK and Sweden, with plans for a first U.S. location in New York. Over 100,000 people have undergone scans, and more than 350,000 have registered for the waitlist or scheduled an appointment.

Calm founder Alex Tew reported that a scan detected a malignant mole on his back, which he had removed. Other investors include Atomico, General Catalyst, Lakestar, Liberty City Ventures, Positive Sum, and BDT & MSD.

Separately, AI lab Midjourney is developing a body scanner for a spa experience in San Francisco.
