About SenoSENSE Medical

SenoSENSE Medical Systems is a Toronto, Ontario-based early stage medical device company developing technology that enables personalized assessment of breast cancer risk in younger women. The company’s first product, the Electrical Breast Densitometer, employs proprietary Densitrode technology to assess breast density in combination with other well-accepted breast cancer risk factors. Breast density has emerged as one of the most important determinants of breast cancer risk. A woman with high breast density has 4-6 times higher risk of developing breast cancer than a woman with fatty, low density tissue. Breast cancer is the most prevalent cause of death in women under the age of 50.
