About the speaker
During the start of his studies at KI, Linus Kullänger noticed that there was a language barrier when health care workers treated patients who did not speak Swedish or English. What started out as a language course arranged by a couple of medical students soon became the foundation for a business idea. Linus co-founded Care to Translate in February 2018 and the business has since grown rapidly. Today, Care to Translate offers health care workers and patients translation services in 39 languages and is used by almost 300 000 users in over 200 countries.
