Swedish health-tech company Neko Health appointed Indian American physician Sunita Mishra as chief medical officer as the company prepares to launch its preventive healthcare model in the United States.

“Throughout my career, I’ve worked to advance technology-enabled care within large organizations. What makes Neko Health so compelling is the opportunity to help build a prevention-first system powered by pioneering technology and grounded in clinical rigor to help people understand their health before small concerns become serious conditions,” Mishra said.

“The chance to spearhead something this bold and transformative is what made this opportunity so compelling,” she added.

At Neko Health, Mishra will lead clinical strategy, oversee ongoing and future clinical studies, and manage medical operations. The company said she will work closely with leadership and product teams to advance its non-invasive technologies and clinical model as it expands into new markets.

“Few leaders truly understand both how to scale clinical operations and how to build the technology that powers them. Sunita has done both. She has led large-scale care delivery and, at the same time, worked to improve the tools and products that shape the delivery of care,” said Hjalmar Nilsonne, chief executive officer and co-founder of Neko Health.

“As we expand in the U.S., her ability to embed clinical rigor into the continued advancement of our technology platform will be essential to building a truly prevention-first model,” he added.

Mishra currently serves as a board member of URAC and the National Health Council. She previously served on the board of Provider Solutions and Development.

She holds a master of business administration from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Mishra earned a doctor of medicine degree from University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson, completed her internal medicine residency at University of Washington, and received bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees from University of Arizona.
