While technology has long supported the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, the healthcare sector has recently embraced a wave of digital transformation. Today’s data-driven platforms not only revolutionize access to therapies but also mark a decisive shift toward prevention and patient empowerment.
TIME & Statista Name the World’s Leading Health-Tech Innovators
In collaboration with Statista, TIME magazine has identified the world’s top health-tech companies of 2025. Among the honorees is Neko Health, a partner of the Swiss Health Alliance (SHA), recognized as one of the most forward-thinking companies of its generation.
The analysis evaluated three indicators — financial performance, reputation, and online engagement. Companies leveraging AI and data analytics emerged as leaders, driving a paradigm shift toward precision diagnostics, personalized treatment, and large-scale disease prevention.
Neko Health Expands to Manchester
Following its successful debut in the United Kingdom under the Swiss Health Alliance, Neko Health opened a new health center in Manchester on September 10, 2025, with a capacity for up to 20,000 body scans annually.
Founded by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek, Neko Health specializes in non-invasive full-body scans that analyze millions of data points within minutes — from skin and blood metrics to cardiometabolic indicators.
“We’re proud to bring a new kind of preventive medicine to one of Britain’s most dynamic cities,” said CEO Hjalmar Nilsonne, “helping people identify potential health issues early so they can live longer, healthier lives.”
With nearly 80% of clients returning annually, the company’s mission is clear: make prevention accessible, affordable, and scalable.
Swiss Health Alliance: Global Values, Local Impact
As a partner in the Neko Scan initiative, the Swiss Health Alliance (SHA) blends advanced technology with human-centered values. SHA believes true health begins with prevention and community-based support — not merely medical intervention.
Its core principles — holistic medicine, responsibility, and humanity — define a vision for social health innovation rooted in solidarity and sustainability.
SHA founder and CEO Roberto Di Pasquale described Neko Health as “one of the most important health companies of our generation,” emphasizing its alignment with SHA’s mission to empower patients through effective, self-managed health solutions.
Prevention as a Global Responsibility
The TIME recognition underscores that the future of medicine lies not only in advanced therapies but in early detection, prevention, and empowerment. Through initiatives like Neko Scan, SHA merges cutting-edge innovation with culturally grounded values, fostering both technological progress and human connection.
SHA’s media office stated:
“The medicine of the future must combine technological progress with human values. With projects like Neko Scan, we make prevention accessible, effective, and socially meaningful.”
Beyond healthcare, SHA supports initiatives in soil detoxification and climate-neutral CO₂ production, collaborating with David L. Deck, Chairman of CarbonOcean International AG.
A Vision Aligned with Global Principles
Operating as a supranational organization, the Swiss Health Alliance aligns its mission with the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Guided by natural law, SHA upholds justice, equality, and human dignity as universal values — reaffirming that health is more than the absence of disease. It is a reflection of humanity, responsibility, and cultural identity.
