Summary
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. 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. 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. ________ Sign up for our email list.
