From NICU Safety to At-Home Blood Tests: Dr. Paul Gilbert’s Next Big Leap with Statum DX

On this episode of What Keeps You Awake.TV, host David Hooser sits down with physician-inventor Dr. Paul Gilbert to trace his journey from life-saving NICU innovation to a new frontier in at-home diagnostics. Dr. Gilbert recounts the creation of the RightSpot™ pH Indicator (now used roughly every minute in the U.S.) that helps ensure feeding tubes reach the **stomach—not the lungs—**especially in premature infants. After a 2019 exit, he’s back with a new venture: Statum DX (“stat” = right now), building immediate, bedside-style blood tests designed to work with touch-activated phlebotomy devices (think a suction cup with micro-needles that draws 1–2 mL of blood at home). Instead of mailing samples and waiting weeks, Statum DX pairs micro-collection with lateral flow/ELISA readouts for fast answers—ideal for telemedicine, urgent decisioning, and potential law-enforcement or occupational use cases. He also shares early partnership momentum (MoU) with Tasso, Inc., the roadmap for initial test panels (e.g., pregnancy, THC, and others), and a look at the funding plan for bringing multiple Class II devices through clinicals and FDA pathways. What you’ll learn: How a NICU problem inspired a device used nationwide Why bedside, instant answers change outcomes (and clinician workflows) The promise of touch-activated phlebotomy + rapid assays for telemedicine Statum DX’s early strategy, tests in the first wave, and capital needs Lessons in patents, timing, and selling vs. scaling through a pandemic If you care about healthtech, medical devices, telemedicine, or building regulated products—from patent to patient—this one’s for you. 👉 Subscribe for more conversations with founders, builders, and inventors on What Keeps You Awake.TV. #WhatKeepsYouAwakeTV #DrPaulGilbert #StatumDX #HealthTech #MedicalDevices #AtHomeTesting #Telemedicine #PointOfCare #TouchActivatedPhlebotomy #LateralFlow #Diagnostics #NICU #NeonatalCare #StartupFunding #Patents

From CIO to CEO: Why SMBs Need Real IT — Eric Stenson on Building “Protected by Mbps”

In this episode of What Keeps You Awake.TV, host David Hooser sits down with serial entrepreneur and former CIO–turned–CEO Eric Stenson to unpack a hard truth: most small and mid-size businesses are under-protected and over-charged by IT.

You’ll hear: Why many IT departments say “no” by default—and how a “start with yes” culture changes outcomes The simple, high-impact safeguards every SMB should implement (redundant internet via Starlink failover, real backup/restore drills, locked-down firewalls, MFA everywhere) A real ransomware story: how tested backups turned an “end-of-days” moment into a two-hour inconvenience How to judge IT value: would you write a check for this service every month?
