Last week, our founder Laura Simmons joined hundreds of passionate people from the healthcare industry for Australian Healthcare Week in Sydney!
The week-long event featured +200 speakers and +4,000 attendees across 11 tailored programs covering key topics in healthcare!
At Theratrak, we’re advocates of co-designing technology and solutions alongside the people they impact.
It was great to see innovative panels dedicated to the big issues in healthcare like mental health where an impressive panel discussed outcomes and support of early-intervention which featured: Ian Hickie from Beyond Blue, Catherine Lourey from Mental Health Commission of NSW and Michelle Quinn from WentWest.
Another reason why 2022 was such a great year as the event featured both industry professionals alongside people with lived experience. Laura particularly enjoyed the session: Co-Designing Models of Care with Intellectually Challenged Persons with Lived Experience, which featured: Vince Ponzio and Aimee Blackam from NSW Ministry of Health, and Erin Forrester from UNSW.
Laura was able to catch up with industry friends and those passionate about innovation in the healthcare industry including: Dr Annie McAuley from TalkiPlay (fellow SheStarts alumni) and Peter Birch from Talking HealthTech.
This time last year at the conference, Laura pitched Theratrak during the startup competition (with no pitch deck after a slides mix up!) and ended up securing second place!
We’re already excited for what next year will bring!
