Our Mission

Prevention by Early Detection

"By shifting monitoring from the hospital to the home, we are enabling women to stay active, independent, and reassured — while helping healthcare systems reduce cost and burden. Our mission is to put prevention at the center of women’s health."
Ida Grønborg
Ida GrønborgCEO of Cacto Health
"There is a gap between research and what we offer breast cancer survivors at risk of lymphedema today. Enabling early detection and compression treatment will have a significant positive impact on the lives of millions of breast cancer survivors."
