Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with Nicholas Fratantonio, a dentist and father who turned his concern for safety into groundbreaking technology. We talk about his invention of a virtually invisible, self-charging tracking device that attaches to a molar, providing continuous safety for children, the elderly, and those with memory care needs. Nicholas explains how this tiny device resists tampering, never needs charging docks, and can store critical medical information for first responders. We explore the challenges of scaling such a cutting-edge product while technology rapidly evolves, and why his solution could redefine how we approach personal safety, prevention, and recovery.
