LIn AST, I knew that there was a 979 mole or skin mark in the body, and my blood pressure was “excellent” and the grip strength is at the top 10 %of women aged 40-45 (I have never met a jar that I can’t open). The most popular ticket in London is not Cate Blanchett. seagull But a physical scan that can protect the health of the future -I went to check it directly.
NEKO HEALTH, a Swedish start -up supported by Spotify’s Daniel EK, opened a clinic at Marylebone, London at the end of last year, with more than 100,000 people waiting. We were welcomed as the future of medicine. It costs 299 pounds, everything takes an hour, and checks the overall health of the heart and arteries, the mole of the body, blood sugar and cholesterol, to promise early detection of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular irregularities and some cancers. In January, the company raised $ 260 million (£ 120 million) in funding and plans to launch it in the United States.
When I go on the road from the tube, I feel as tension as I take a test I didn’t study. In the first year of NEKO, which operates a body scan in Stockholm, 14 %of individuals needed additional treatment or monitoring.
• How to let GP listen to you
Of course, everyone wanted to be healthy, but because of a son almost three years ago, I knew that health anxiety increased. It is terrible to see my ability to nurture him with serious illness or to have a serious disease. If you are worried about something, you should always see the GP if you are worried about something. I am also 42 years old when people actually start to think about the body hidden around them (“Can I still wear a bikini?”
I wait for a mix of excitement and fear in NEKO’s Tiffany Blue-Colored Reception. But everyone was kind and comfortable, and in the private dressing room, hay bathrobes and ugly shoes were worn. Nike Air Jordan Hex Slippers later discovered later.
The first is the whole body scan. Except for wearing only panties, it is similar to what you do at the airport. It takes a few seconds and then lies to bed and feels like attending your post mortar because of the sterile surrounding environment. Here they connect you for ECG and stick the monitor all over to collect information about circulation. They scan their wrists and ankles with a laser to check the bracket index, which is a blood pressure measurement. Then eat blood samples and test the pressure of the eye to find the initial signs of glaucoma.
Next, the doctor comes in and maps the mole. In other words, the whole body checks all the marks with a magnifying glass. If you want, you can reject this bit. While the doctor is investigating the skin all, you must stand only in your panties and some know that it is inconvenient for this. After childbirth, I have to say that it is very easy to be in a state of taking off a variety of clothes in front of a medical professional, so I must actually remove my gown too early and put it back. sorry. This is probably the most exciting because I was very fair and paranoid about mole and I went to GP before.
• How much is the ZoE app really helpful?
After the check, the AI support results go to the final room that is already waiting. Everything is placed on a large screen, including the rotating digital avatar. This will feel as if you are trying to carry out the mission between the galaxies for the third time. The doctor talks about it for about 15 minutes.
My result is back without a big problem, and the doctor says that there is nothing to send three mole photos to a skin expert for further investigation.
There was a criticism that these personal health checks actually burden the NHS because people unnecessarily bothered with small information selected from the scan. I can see how this will happen, but I think you can leave more confidence in your health.
I get out of the clinic feeling that I know more about my body and health than ever in 42 years. Most of them are in bay now, such as diabetes and heart complications (my late father is a problem). But isn’t it a shame, not a shame that the cost of 299 pounds was paid for privileges?
