Coyne Medical vs Neko Health
Two very different approaches to preventive health screening
If you are looking for a Neko Health alternative in London, the main difference is that Coyne starts with a 90-minute doctor assessment and builds screening around your medical history, family history and individual risk.
Neko is designed to give you a fast, technology-led snapshot of your health in around an hour.
At Coyne, every screening programme starts with a 90-minute doctor assessment. We then bring together your medical history, family history, examination, blood testing, cancer screening and other investigations to build a prevention plan around you.
Our Complete and Ultimate Health Programmes go further again, combining advanced screening with a personal doctor who stays involved throughout the year.
A fast technology-led scan, or a broader doctor-led health assessment?
Neither model is inherently right for everyone. Neko has built a very efficient way to measure a large amount of cardiovascular, skin and metabolic information quickly. Coyne takes a broader medical approach, starting with more time with a doctor and expanding screening according to your age, history, family history and individual risk.

Neko has made health screening fast and accessible
Neko has built a genuinely impressive technology-led screening experience.
In under an hour it can collect a large amount of information about your skin, heart, circulation, body composition and selected blood markers, with results explained by a clinician during the same visit.
Its full-body skin imaging and mole mapping is a particular strength, and the ability to receive many results almost immediately is very appealing.
If you want a convenient, relatively low-cost health snapshot, Neko may suit you very well.
The difference is depth and medical context
At Coyne, the tests come after we have understood the person.
Every Coyne screening starts with 90 minutes with a doctor
We do not start with a scanner and then work backwards.
We start with your medical history, family history, lifestyle, symptoms, concerns and what you actually want to understand about your health. Your doctor examines you, reviews your risks and then interprets every result in that context.
Past medical problems, medication and previous results are reviewed before interpreting new findings.
Family history can change cancer, cardiovascular and genetic risk even when you feel completely well.
Screening sits within a proper medical assessment rather than being interpreted as isolated numbers.
We focus on what is genuinely useful for you rather than treating every person as the same screening pathway.
Established cancer screening is part of the assessment
Cancer screening is not something we reserve only for our most expensive programmes.
Across Coyne screening, we consider established cancer screening according to age and individual risk, including bowel cancer screening, cervical screening and PSA testing where appropriate.
That matters because new technology should complement established screening rather than distract from the screening tests already known to detect disease early.
Our Ultimate Health Programme can then go further by adding inherited cancer genetic testing to understand risks that may not yet have caused any abnormal scan or blood result.
Both look beyond weight alone
Body composition gives us more useful information than simply looking at your weight or BMI.
Neko Health
Neko includes body composition assessment as part of its standard scan, including measures of body and visceral fat.
Coyne Advanced
Our Advanced screening includes bioimpedance body composition, interpreted alongside metabolic markers, blood pressure and wider cardiovascular risk.
Coyne Complete & Ultimate
Complete and Ultimate add MRI body composition for a deeper assessment of visceral fat, muscle and body composition alongside whole-body MRI.
Complete and Ultimate go beyond the standard Neko scan
Neko deliberately uses a non-invasive, radiation-free technology model and does not include MRI.
Our Complete and Ultimate Health Programmes include whole-body MRI, MRI body composition and laboratory VO₂ max testing.
This lets us look more deeply at internal anatomy, visceral fat, muscle distribution and cardiovascular fitness, and then bring those findings together with your blood results and medical history.
The point is not simply to collect more tests. It is to decide what actually changes your prevention plan.
More than a health screen. A personal doctor for your health.
Neko includes clinician review and clinically indicated follow-up, which is an important part of its model.
The difference with Coyne Complete and Ultimate is that ongoing care is built into the programme from the beginning.
- One personal doctor brings your results together
- Direct email access between scheduled reviews
- Scheduled quarterly health check-ins throughout the year
- Your prevention plan reviewed as your health changes
- Repeat testing arranged where it changes management
- Medication started or adjusted where appropriate
- Further investigations and specialist referrals coordinated when needed
If something needs investigating, treating or monitoring, we stay involved.
Ultimate also looks at risks a scan cannot see
Some of the most important risks in preventive medicine are inherited and will not necessarily show up on a scan today.
Inherited cancer risk
Genetic testing for inherited variants associated with cancers including breast, ovarian, bowel, prostate and pancreatic cancer.
Pharmacogenomics
Genetic information that may help inform how you respond to commonly prescribed medicines now and in the future.
Inflammation & oral health
Oral health assessment and Oral Genome testing considered alongside inflammatory, cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Frequently asked questions
Is Neko Health cheaper than Coyne Medical?
Yes. The standard Neko Health Scan currently costs £299, compared with £895 for Coyne Advanced screening. The services are also quite different. Neko is designed as a fast technology-led scan, while Coyne Advanced starts with a 90-minute doctor assessment and includes broader laboratory testing, body composition, established cancer screening and a personalised prevention plan.
Does Neko Health include a doctor?
Yes. Neko includes a clinician consultation to review the findings, explain results and discuss an action plan. At Coyne, every screening programme begins with a 90-minute doctor assessment before the results are brought together into your prevention plan.
Does Neko Health provide follow-up?
Yes. Neko states that clinically advised follow-up appointments, referral letters and specialist introductions are included. Coyne Complete and Ultimate are structured differently: a personal doctor remains involved throughout the year with direct email access and scheduled quarterly health check-ins.
Does Neko Health include cancer screening?
Neko has a particularly strong skin imaging and mole-mapping component, but established bowel, cervical and PSA screening are not the central model of the standard scan. At Coyne, these established cancer screening pathways are considered according to age and individual risk across our health screening programmes.
Does Neko Health include MRI?
No. Neko states that its scan does not use MRI. Coyne Complete and Ultimate include whole-body MRI and MRI body composition alongside wider clinical assessment.
Which Coyne screening is the closest alternative to Neko Health?
Coyne Advanced is the most useful comparison if you are looking for a comprehensive annual health check. It starts with a 90-minute doctor assessment and includes detailed blood testing, cardiovascular and metabolic assessment, body composition and established cancer screening. Complete and Ultimate are substantially deeper programmes, adding MRI, laboratory VO₂ max and a personal doctor throughout the year.
Can I speak to a doctor before choosing a Coyne programme?
Yes. You can book a 30-minute Discovery Call with a Coyne Medical doctor to discuss your health, family history and what you want from screening. The £250 fee is credited against your screening if you proceed within 12 months.
Screening should answer more than one question.
Understand what your results mean in the context of your whole health, decide what needs changing and have a clear plan for what happens next.
