Improving Communication in Occupational Therapy Via a Digital Tracking & Monitoring System (Episode 125)

Laura Simmons is the CEO and Founder of Theratrak, a company that offers a digital platform enabling allied health professionals including occupational therapy practitioners to more efficiently track participant progress in between treatment sessions. She is also a passionate pediatric occupational therapist working with families of children living with a range of disabilities in early intervention. Laura has worked in the private health sector in Australia for almost 10 years, and in this time she has noticed a distinct lack of innovative technology solutions targeting the ongoing care of clients outside of direct therapy and how this is impacting the client’s overall treatment. As a leader of a team of occupational therapists, Laura wants to improve the healthcare system from the inside out to support the growth of younger therapists everywhere. As mentioned in the interview, TheraTrak is looking for partners in the United States to pilot their HIPAA certified digital tracking system. On this episode, we talk about Laura's work in the field and how she developed TheraTrack as well as how COVID-19 impacted pediatric therapy practice in Australia as compared to in the U.S.To connect with Laura:Email - [email protected] - https://twitter.com/laura1simmons Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/theratrak Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theratrak/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/theratrak/ Website/blog - https://www.theratrak.co/ https://www.theratrak.co/
