I’m half an hour into my appointment at Neko Health for a full body MOT and here is a list of things that have happened already: I’ve stood in my pants inside an extremely bright chamber and had a machine scan and assess the 653 markings on my body; my eye pressure has been tested along with the blood pressure on each of my arms and legs; my blood has been extracted and sent a mere moment later to a doctor for analysis via some vacuum suction pod in the ceiling; my eye pressure and grip strength have been taken; I’ve had an ECG scan while listening to the precise sound my heart makes while keeping me alive; and my large and tiny vessels have been mapped while I have marvelled at their intricacy on the screen.
The purpose of these tests? To see precisely where my body is at. In case you’re one of the 10,000 people on the waiting list for an appointment for the Neko Body Scan at the newly-opened London outpost, or are wondering if you should join it, here’s what all those tests are in name of: the skin scan checks moles, birthmarks, rashes, and age spots; the blood pressure is looking to detect arterial stiffness and irregular heartbeat; the eye pressure detects glaucoma; the grip strength is checking overall health and muscle strength; the blood test an overall look at what’s going on. This is both unusual and impressive because of how quickly it all happens, because it gives such a detailed snapshot of your overall health, and because the doctor is on hand to help you decide how to act on that information.
