“Enabling early treatment for halting lymphedema development has a significant Impact on the lives of millions of breast cancer survivors”
- Ida
“During breast cancer treatment I was followed closely, received a tailored treatment plan and guidance. But as breast cancer survivor there is no established support system to help me live with the risk of developing lymphedema and other side-effects from treatment. Staying in control of my situation is top of my mind”
- Patient
Early detection and prevention of chronic lymphedema
- the new normal.
Cacto Health is building MyLymphCare, the first at-home monitoring solution for breast cancer–related lymphedema.
Today, too many breast cancer survivors face lifelong complications and stigma because lymphedema is detected late.
Reshaping the use of traditional bioimpedance spectroscopy, we empower women to detect fluid changes early, track their recovery, and stay in control of their health.
“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. “
