Laura Simmons is a paediatric occupational therapist and founder of Theratrak, an app that allows therapists to prescribe, monitor and track customised therapy programmes for children. In this episode, Laura shares her journey and transition from being a full-time therapist into becoming a start-up founder, what type of therapy challenges and problems she observed that led to creating Theratrak, and how using Theratrak has transformed her daily schedule.

Key takeaways:

1. Laura is an occupational therapist who has worked in paediatrics in Sydney for eight years. One of the things she's most enthusiastic about is helping kids reach their goals and helping kids become independent.
2. With Theratrak, clients now can engage with programmes and their therapists remotely, and from the comfort of their home undertake the prescribed programmes.
3. Theratrak helps capture, create and digitise programmes that the client and parents take home with them via a secure mobile app.
