Serially Innovating Health Tech Solutions (feat. Michael LaFauci)

<p>From the ball park to the operating room, Michael LaFauci spots solutions with an innovator's eye. The idea for his current venture, Midas Healthcare Solutions, began with a lint roller.</p><p>LaFauci discusses the "innovator’s DNA" that led him from pharmacy assistant to serial entrepreneur. He developed technology that allowed sports fans to order refreshments from their seats. He created a device to prevent fetal lacerations during C-sections. Now, his team's MidasVIEW system is increasing transparency and safety in drug diversion within health systems, integrating digital connectivity, 360-degree cameras and artificial intelligence to create a verifiable chain of custody and make medication disposal feel cool.</p><p>Beyond the technology, LaFauci touches on the grit required for innovation — the blood, sweat and tears of a years-long journey from a lint roller prototype to a commercialized pilot, as well as the courage to "fall forward" and trust his vision.</p><p><br /></p><p>________</p><p><a href="https://www.movingtovalue.org/community" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Sign up for our email list.</a></p><p>Thank you to <a href="https://www.movingtovalue.org/supporters" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">our members</a> who make our work possible!
