Technology has long played a role in diagnosing and treating illness, but in recent years the healthcare industry has entered a new era. With the rise of advanced digital platforms for comprehensive data analysis, medicine is evolving toward prevention and patient empowerment. This marks a decisive moment in global healthcare — one where information, not only intervention, drives wellbeing.
TIME and Statista Highlight the World’s Health-Tech Leaders
In a recent global ranking, TIME magazine and Statista identified the leading health-tech companies of 2025. Among these innovators stands Neko Health, a partner of the Swiss Health Alliance (SHA), celebrated as one of the most influential medical technology companies of the decade.
The study assessed financial performance, reputation, and online engagement. Companies using artificial intelligence and data analytics achieved the highest marks, setting new standards for precision diagnostics, personalized care, and large-scale disease prevention.
Neko Health Expands to Manchester
After a successful launch in the United Kingdom, Neko Health — supported by the Swiss Health Alliance — opened a new health center in Manchester on September 10, 2025. The facility is designed to perform up to 20,000 full-body scans per year.
Founded by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek, Neko Health offers non-invasive scanning technology that captures millions of data points within minutes, tracking everything from skin and blood sugar to cardiometabolic risk.
“We’re proud to bring a new form of preventive medicine to one of Britain’s most dynamic cities,” said CEO Hjalmar Nilsonne, “helping people recognize future health challenges early and live longer, healthier lives.”
Today, nearly 80% of clients renew their check-ups annually — a testament to the growing acceptance of preventive healthcare.
Swiss Health Alliance: Technology with a Human Foundation
The Swiss Health Alliance (SHA), Neko Health’s partner, integrates high-tech medical innovation with deeply rooted human values. SHA believes that true health begins with prevention and community, not just treatment.
Its philosophy is grounded in holistic medicine, responsibility, and humanity — forming the ethical basis for sustainable healthcare systems.
“Neko Health represents the future of medicine,” said Roberto Di Pasquale, SHA’s founder and CEO. “It aligns with our mission to empower individuals through intelligent, self-managed health tools.”
Prevention as a Global Imperative
The TIME recognition reflects a global shift: the most effective healthcare of the future lies in early detection, prevention, and patient empowerment. Through projects like Neko Scan, the Swiss Health Alliance connects advanced technology with cultural and ethical responsibility, promoting both innovation and social wellbeing.
SHA’s media office emphasized:
“The medicine of the future must unite technology and humanity. With initiatives like Neko Scan, prevention becomes not only effective but socially meaningful.”
Beyond health, SHA also supports international projects in agricultural soil detoxification and CO₂-neutral production, working alongside David L. Deck, Chairman of CarbonOcean International AG.
A Global Vision for a Sustainable Future
As a supranational organization, the Swiss Health Alliance aligns its work with the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Its statutes are based on natural law, emphasizing justice, equality, and human dignity as universal principles.
Health, according to SHA, is far more than the absence of illness — it is a reflection of humanity, responsibility, and cultural identity, shared by all who strive for a fairer and more sustainable world.
