Lars Persson
Technical co-founder, Scita Health

Building compliant, sovereign health data infrastructure across Sweden, Denmark, and the EU — designed for the regulatory path ahead. 25+ years in healthcare and enterprise IT.

Every decision has to be explainable, governable, and auditable.

Building Now

Scita Health

Technical co-founder · Founding architect · Jul 2024 – Present

I'm not a software developer. I'm the one who makes sure the system holds together — technically, operationally, and regulatorily.

At Scita I designed the technical infrastructure for an AI-powered precision prevention platform for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. The AI layer is the core of it: a retrieval-grounded system that turns clinical evidence into personalised, explainable guidance — built so every output can be traced to a source and reviewed, never a black box. I built it on modern composable tools, architected from the start for the regulatory path ahead: intended as a Class IIb medical device under MDR, aligned with the EUDI Wallet for citizen-controlled health data, with AI governance built in rather than retrofitted.

Twenty-five years in regulated healthcare IT taught me what breaks at scale. The discipline is the same: every decision explainable, governable, auditable.

Founder · Active

Enterprise IT wisdom meets AI-era building. Advisory work for health and life-sciences ventures facing post-merger tech integration, AI readiness in regulated environments, compliance architecture (GDPR, MDR, ISO), and interim technical leadership through transitions. Also where I publish Field Notes — what I'm learning building with AI as a non-traditional developer.

Green Frog Brewery

Founder & Brewer · Trelleborg, Sweden

A small-batch craft brewery in Skåne. 13 varieties hand-brewed in 23-litre batches on Grainfather equipment — from classic pilsner and stout to an unusual low- and non-alcoholic line. Beer for special occasions that doesn't trade enjoyment for wellbeing. The same craft instinct that shapes everything else.

Driving with Blågula Bilen

«Синьо-жовта машина» — the blue-and-yellow car.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, I've volunteered with Blågula Bilen — a Swedish non-partisan, non-religious organisation founded by Take Aanstoot. Volunteers buy used 4×4s and trucks, fix them, fill them with equipment and medical supplies, and drive them to Ukraine, where both the vehicles and the cargo are donated to Ukrainian defence forces and civilian populations. As of early 2026, the organisation has delivered more than 1,400 vehicles.

Smart, proactive support for Ukraine is also smart, proactive defence for Scandinavia. Sovereign infrastructure, compliance, and resilience aren't abstractions — they're what holds when things break. The same instinct shapes the work at Scita and FlexIT.
