The Swedish medtech company Capitainer AB announces strengthening its organisation by appointing Medical Doctor and Associate Professor Martin Carlsson as a member of the company’s Advisory Board. Capitainer is currently in an expansion stage focusing on the clinical implementation of the company’s intelligent solutions for self-sampling.
Martin Carlsson, entrepreneur, docent, Specialist in Endocrinology/Diabetes, Internal Medicine, and Clinical Chemistry, as well as the founder of the healthcare provider Blodtrycksdoktorn and Chief Physician at the digital healthcare provider Yazen Health, is joining Capitaine’s Advisory Board.
” We are thrilled to welcome Martin Carlsson to Capitainer at a point where Capitainer is about to deliver a breakthrough in clinical diagnostics.

Carlsson is currently working as Chief Physician at Yazen Health, a digital healthcare provider of which he is also the co-founder.
” There is excellent customer value and market potential for Capitainer’s self-sampling products, built on unique technology and quality. When I started Blodtrycksdoktorn in 2017, it was one of the first healthcare providers in the world to focus on chronic diseases and remote monitoring. I have learnt so much from this journey, and I’m looking forward to sharing those insights with Capitainer to create the best possible value for clients and shareholders in the future,” says Carlsson.
