Clinical Studies

At Neko Health research is in our DNA, and we always aim to push the limits of technology and science, to create the best possible product and service for our members to stay ahead of their health.

In broad terms our research portfolio is setup to investigate and develop technologies and methods to enable preventive and proactive healthcare. Our belief is that most diseases do not just happen to you, but rather develop within you. Therefore, our focus is aimed towards assessing the biological functions of the body and to detect when these functions are altered or lost, rather than detecting disease and damage that has already started. Not only do we believe this can enable us to stop disease from ever occurring, but that it can also provide means for improving life quality and longevity. Today, a lot of healthcare guidelines are based on population statistics, but what if the individual is not average? We strive to develop these methods, so that they assess the specific individual, at the specific point in time.

Today, we are running 3 clinical studies in Sweden:

• SCAPIS 2 – Spectrum: this is a sub-study part of the Swedish CardioPulmonarybioImage 2 Study (SCAPIS 2), which is one of the world's largest longitudinal studies for investigation of methods to prevent cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Our sub-study is setup to focus on the smallest vessels of the body, the so-called “micro-circulation”, and the mapping of their change in performance and function related to the development of disease. Not only does the scope include several novel and state-of-the-art optical imaging technologies, but also the latest in precision blood markers. We will try to map the chain of events that lead to disease, to know how and when to intervene before tissue or organ damage occur. Chronic inflammation and auto-immune responses are examples of root-cause conditions that will be investigated. This investigation takes place at the hospital of Danderyd, Sweden.Click here for more information
• SCAPIS 2 – Cardio: this is yet another sub-study of SCAPIS 2, where the focus is to investigate the correlation between cardiovascular disease and arterial stiffness and vascular aging, but also the exploration of detecting risk of heart failure or aortic valve disease, using a novel setup of sensors, including contactless laser and microwave radars. A setup that is optimized for a highly efficient and automatable workflow. This investigation takes place at the hospital of Danderyd, Sweden.Click here for more information
• MIND: The MIND study (Microangiopathy IN Diabetes) shares a lot of the technologies, methods and objectives with the SCAPIS 2 – Spectrum, but is focused on type 1 diabetes. We want to learn how the diabetes affects the vascular system in detail and understand what mechanisms that set the severity of the resulting complications, and what technologies, methods and markers that are best to detect and monitor these mechanisms to enable the best means of intervention. This investigation takes place at the hospital of Danderyd, Sweden.Click here for more information
