We're making proactive care accessible to everyone.

Why we exist

Your body changes a little every year, but most of us only look closely once something already feels off.

Octo Health started with one simple belief: you should get to know your body while you still feel well. Today, a full picture of your health usually arrives late, and for many people it is out of reach. So we set out to change who gets to start early.

We want to build the world's largest proactive care platform, so anyone, anywhere, can start early.

Here's what that means today:

  • One timeline

    for every result, explained in plain language

  • 2,200+

    partner lab locations in Portugal and the United States, with more countries to come

  • 110+

    biomarkers and 1,000+ data points a year, when testing opens in your country

Your year

Here's what a year with Octo Health looks like:

  • First, your results

    Testing is coming soon to your country. Until then, upload the results you already have and they land on your timeline.

  • Then, answers

    Your results in plain language: what's in range, what isn't, and next steps to consider with your doctor.

  • All year, one timeline

    Your whole health history in one place: lab results, medical exams, records, symptoms and habits, and soon data from your connected devices. Follow your progress, with guidance that changes as you do.

  • Whenever you want, with your doctor

    Share everything with your doctor through access that expires, so you can make better-informed decisions together. Octo Health works alongside their care, never in place of it.

How we work

None of this happens by chance. It comes from a few things we hold ourselves to as a team:

  1. Start while you feel well

    The best time to understand your health is before you have a reason to. We build for the years when nothing feels wrong.

  2. Say it plainly

    A number means little until you know what it means for you. Every result comes with an explanation you can act on.

  3. Your health is yours

    Your data belongs to you. You decide who sees it, and every share expires.

Who we are

All of this is built by a team between New York and Lisbon, led by our founder:

Catarina Kemper, CEO & Founder of Octo Health

Catarina Kemper

CEO & Founder

Octo Health is personal for Catarina. While fighting for an endometriosis diagnosis, she wanted a more proactive, functional approach to her health, and no tool made that possible. It meant many doctors, appointments, files and spreadsheets. So she built Octo Health, to make proactive care accessible to everyone and so nobody has to go through it alone.

Close-up of an eye in warm light

We take looking after your health personally.

Knowing your body a little better each year changes how you live in it. We want to be there for every one of those years.

Backed by people who believe in proactive care

Octo Health raised a €2.7M pre-seed round, led by 3xP Global, to make it happen.
