Chalfont Nursing Graduate Changes Focus, Opts to Work Full Time on Company That Making Wearable Lights for Nurses

While still studying at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Chalfont native Anthony Scarpone-Lambert came up with an invention that he hoped would be a game-changer for nurses, writes Ashley Ahn for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Several months down the line, the recent graduate has decided to forego a career as a clinical nurse and instead focus his energy on his company, Lumify Care, a Wearable Light, which makes wearable LED night-lights for health care workers that are designed not to disturb sleeping patients.

Scarpone-Lambert was inspired to create something innovative while doing clinical rotations in the emergency department during the pandemic.

“I was just always noticing so many insufficiencies that I felt inspired to find solutions for and make more of an impact by creating solutions that make sense for the front-line health care workers,” he said.

Once he had completed his invention of a wearable light, he knew his future would look different than he originally envisaged.

 “I really enjoyed clinical care, but I think for me, specifically, especially during the pandemic, I realized that I really needed to almost be more of a leader in making more of an impact through entrepreneurship,” he said.
