We are proud to announce that Capitainer has been awarded the prestigious Medtech4Health Innovation Award 2025 for our innovative approach to enhancing patient care. Our simple and secure method for self-sampling blood at home significantly reduces the need for physical healthcare visits.

The Medtech4Health Innovation Award is aimed at those who have developed and implemented innovative medical technology in healthcare. The purpose is to highlight good examples of medical technology solutions that bring significant improvements to healthcare, increase the health and quality of life of citizens, and facilitate the introduction of new medical technology to the market.

”It’s fantastic to receive this award! Now we will continue our implementation work to help all those who have invested time and effort in introducing Capitainer. Home sampling is something very concrete that fits well with the initiatives for close care at home,” says Mathias Karlsson, CMO of Capitainer.

The jury’s motivation (freely translated into English) reads: ”For the development of a groundbreaking technology that, with great technical and systemic innovation, brings healthcare’s basic functions closer to the patient. This solution makes it possible to reach more patients, conduct screening of risk groups, and create better conditions for clinical studies and treatment follow-up. With its focus on resource efficiency and faster diagnostic processes, the technology not only contributes to more sustainable healthcare but also promotes equality and accessibility for all patients.”
