Deepening Our Expertise in Healthcare Engineering

We’re excited to share that Lightmatter, a software engineering firm with deep healthcare expertise, is now part of Cactus.

Over the past several years, we’ve partnered with Lightmatter on some of our most complex digital health projects, helping leading health systems and venture-backed startups design and build tools that make care more connected, human, and effective. Bringing our teams together was the next natural step.

With this acquisition, we’re strengthening our ability to deliver truly interdisciplinary solutions by integrating software and data engineering into the same process that shapes our digital product strategy, experience design, and architectural planning.

Why Lightmatter Strengthens Our Strategy

Lightmatter’s team brings extraordinary experience building applications, APIs, and infrastructure for clients like NYU Langone, Northwell Health, Providence, and Harvard Medical School. Together, we’ll be able to go further—from early concept to scalable platform—with a unified team that deeply understands both technology and the real-world complexity of healthcare.

Leading Through Digital Transformation

As care continues to evolve across digital, physical, and operational domains, we’re focused on helping our clients stay ahead. This move expands our capacity to do just that.

We’re also looking forward. In a moment defined by rapid AI advancements and seismic shifts in the technology landscape, the need for visionary digital leadership has never been more critical. By bringing Lightmatter into the fold, we’re strengthening our ability to guide clients through this transformation, offering not just great products but bold strategies and future-ready systems built for what’s next.

“We’re thrilled to now be a part of the Cactus family, where our deep expertise in healthcare‑centric software development and data engineering will blend seamlessly with their interdisciplinary design expertise”
