Laura Simmons is a paediatric Occupational Therapist and founder of Theratrak, it’s a Digital OT app that enables therapists to prescribe, monitor and track customised therapy programmes for children.
In this episode, Laura shares with Yianni her journey and transition from being a full-time OT to becoming a start-up founder.
We get into what type of therapy challenges and problems Laura observed that led to creating Theratrak, and how using Theratrak offers therapy enhancement with Digital OT tools that improve retention and adherence for parents/ children by empowering independence outside of traditional OT appointments and putting time back into the daily schedule of OT’s.
Key takeaways:
