In this episode of the Think Small Podcast, Dr. Ferdinando Mirarchi, board-certified emergency physician and founder and CEO of MIDEO Health, shares the deeply personal clinical experiences that drove him to uncover one of healthcare's most overlooked patient safety crises: the widespread misinterpretation of advanced directives and living wills. Through his landmark TRIAD research series, a peer-reviewed national study spanning more than 13 publications, Dr. Mirarchi proved that clinicians misinterpret these critical documents at a rate of 80%, leading to patients being resuscitated against their wishes, or denied life-saving care they clearly wanted. His work exposed a systemic failure that affects tens of millions of Americans and their families, and set the foundation for a technological solution decades in the making.
