Episode 266 | Laura Corcoran, CEO & Founder of Dignity Care | Innovating Compassionate Solutions for Pregnancy Loss
In this powerful episode, Laura Corcoran, CEO and Founder of Dignity Care, shares the deeply personal experience that drove her to invent the Miscarriage Collection Cradle, a patented Class I medical device designed to bring practical support and dignity to women managing miscarriage or pregnancy loss. Laura walks through the realities of home miscarriage management, the need for reliable collection for cytogenetic testing, and how gaps in standard care can compound trauma. The conversation explores how she translated an unmet need into a scalable product—rapid NHS adoption, health-economic evidence showing major system savings, and the stakeholder strategy required to drive change from hospitals to Parliament. Laura also discusses FDA clearance and plans for U.S. launch, and closes with advice for innovators: obsess over understanding the problem, and the right solution will follow.
